My story begins in October of 2014. I was 22 years old and my life was perfect. I loved my job, I was in a relationship and I still am with my boyfriend. We had a great relationship, great friends, our dogs. I had it all.

One day in October of 2014 I realised I wasn’t feeling that good, I can’t exactly tell you how I felt, but it was really odd and that feeling kept going for about a week. I had lost 20kg right before then so I thought it had something to do with that. Anyway, the next week, at work, I was discussing this with my colleague and she told me that it was best to go and see my doctor, and she was right. So I did. A few days later I went to see him.

I was explaining my situation to him and he said straight away “I think you are pregnant”. My world stopped! Don’t get me wrong, I was thrilled! But I was also scared. Everything in my life was perfect, but I was still a 22 year old. I called my boyfriend to tell him the news and went home to let it all sink in. Back then I didn’t know about “The Secret”.

My baby girl was growing as expected. My ultrasounds were very good, her heart was beating right and I loved her so much. And then it happened, the 16 week ultrasound. I knew something wasn’t right, it was like I felt it. My doctor’s face turned white, literally, and then he told us the news that our baby girl was very sick. We had to make a choice either keep on with the pregnancy with a high risk of miscarriage or stop the pregnancy. My world stopped again. After a lot of thinking we decided to stop the pregnancy. I felt horrible, but deep down in my heart I knew it was the best thing to do, as crazy as that may sound. A week later I gave birth to my baby girl.

A year went by and I was so unhappy. The only thing I wanted was my baby girl. Suddenly everything was bad!

One day I was working and this lady walks in and we start talking. I bet she could see on my face how miserable I was so I told her my story. She then told me about “The Secret”. I couldn’t believe it! She invited me to her house for a cup of coffee. I went, we talked some more and then she gave me a copy of the book, showed me a few pages and it was like I felt it. That bliss, that spark that I had lost. There it was, waiting to come out. I went home and read the book, I was sucked into it. I told my colleagues about it, my clients and my friends. Everyone was shocked because within a few days I had changed completely, my life changed completely for good. I was back!

Even thought I miscarried 2 times after the birth of my baby girl, I still was grateful. For the love I received, for the friendships, for the support from the people who love me. I went through hell and I still believed. After that I turned my life around. I quit my job and started my own business with my sister in law. I’m very thankful for the opportunity and the chance to do what I love to do!

Sometimes I still get those down moments, I get scared and sad and sometimes it lasts for days. But I always fall back on “The Secret” via the apps, the website and the books. I then I take a deep breath and let it go. It is the best feeling ever!

I know this is a very long story, so I want to thank you all for reading it. Even though I don’t see her anymore, I want to thank Katia for introducing me to the biggest secret of all, The Secret. I want to thank Rhonda for putting it on paper, because as I often say, sharing is caring. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Sincerelly,
Betsy
