I have been practicing The Secret for about a year. I tend to be a huge worrier, and I often have difficulty just relaxing and being in the moment. I have started reading The Magic book and doing the 28 days of The Magic practices. I have had much more joy and peace since starting these practices.

Sometimes, trips stress me out. The packing, getting someone to watch our home and animals, meeting up with others, and trying to coordinate plans are stressful for me. So, we were going on a trip where we were to stay in an Airbnb in a cabin with some others. I wanted to maintain my joy! I decided to do my daily gratitude outside on the back porch. I was really feeling joy for the surroundings. I had a fleeting thought that I would like some deer to come through the yard in front of me. I then continued happily looking into the woods and expressing gratitude. My eyes then caught a deer standing to the right of me, just staring at me. I smiled at him, and we stared at each other for a while! He then lay down in the yard not far from me! Just laid there like a dog in the yard. It was so sweet, and I felt such joy. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
