I have known about The Secret since 2006 when first watched the movie. I immediately told all my closest family and friends about it and decided that this way of thinking fit best into my life. I have always been a positive,uplifting person but in the years before I watched the video I suffered through a lot of trauma(痛苦).Bad relationships,a divorce, a business loss, job loss from a company and expensive house rent. I felt like I was on a hamster wheel and felt helpless on getting off.

After going through the ups and downs of the last 6 years, I decided enough was enough and to revisit The Secret and absorb in all the other books and DVDs that Rhonda Byrne wrote and other authors as well. I completely worked on my mind and I started to dream again about all the possibilities that I knew existed for me. I would play her DVDs all the time and write journal every day. I would give gratitude and tears of joy for where I was at that moment, even though it was light years from where I wanted to be. Slowly things started changing and amazing things began to appear.

I finally got my BS done in college after putting my intention of earning my degree by December of 2013 which I did.I made more money topping 6 figures in 2012 and then again in 2013 to have two of the most successful years of my life financially.

My son was going through issues mentally and I was lost for years on how to help him with his behavioral issues. Around a year ago in 2013, I decided enough was enough.Instead of being a victim, I got strong mentally and made changes on how I dealt with him and his father who was blaming me for our son’s behavior.

When I was a young boy, I lost my mother and father. As     1     a person without a father or mother life was difficult for me and I was often lonely. l lived in a home with other children and my bedroom was     2     empty with few toys or things to enjoy.

Although I married eventually and had my own children, I always felt sad thinking about my parents. One day I got a letter in the post. It said it was from my sister! I was     3     shocked to read this and as it had never been     4     told to me that had other family members. The letter said my sister would like to meet me and told me the time and place to go.

On the day I met her, l arrived at her home. It was a beautiful old house with blue walls and white     5     window coverings. As I went up the garden path, the door was flung open by a woman who looked just like my mother! At first I was     6     stuck in one place with shock but she     7     jumped into my arms and we hugged. It was such a special moment that I found myself     8     crying with joy.

My sister said she too was unaware that she had a brother but that she had     9     looked into our family history in the past year and found my name. Knowing that I have a sister gives me so much comfort as I have a connection to the past.

I was backpacking in Panama over Christmas in 2018, and planned to climb Volcán Barú. It is one of the only places on earth from where you can see the Atlantic and the Pacific Oceans at the same time.

I set off before sunrise. It was a bit cold, so I had pulled on leggings under my trousers. I’ve always felt safe travelling as a solo (单独) woman. I love the freedom. When I got to the base at 7 am, the ranger (护林员) was unwilling to let me go alone, but relented (缓和) because an American couple were behind me.

The first part of the climb was beautiful. I walked for an hour and had reached a fair height. The views were impressive, so I stopped to take a photograph. Suddenly I heard violent barking behind me.

I turned and saw two dogs running aggressively towards me. I could see their teeth looked sharp, and they looked angry. There was nowhere for me to run. I tried to keep calm, but my heart was racing. They stopped a dozen feet from where I stood and kept barking. I knew they could move fast, so I didn’t want to try to outrun them.

I kept walking, saying, “Good dog, calm down,” as evenly as possible. But I was terrified. Then one dashed up and sunk his teeth into my leg below the knee. I was shocked. He held on for a few seconds. The pain took my breath away as I felt his fangs (犬牙) in my flesh. I considered bending down to get a rock to fight him off, but was nervous in case he went for my neck or the other one launched at me.

I tried to keep walking, and he finally let go. Then he was behind me, growling (嗥叫). I kept going, my body shaking, until after about 15 minutes I was out of their sight.

When I thought it was safe, I stopped.
