The Lottery

By Corky Goldberg-Schmautz
from Winnipeg, Manitoba Canada

I have been playing the lottery for quite a few years and have only won a few times a few dollars here and there.

I happened to be watching the Oprah show and caught the tail end of something that I really didn't understand. Oprah and her guests were talking about The Secret and the A New Earth book at the same time. I was a little confused, because when you watch a show like Oprah's, you need to see the beginning of the show.

After the show aired, I went in search of Eckhart Tolle's book, "A New Earth", but this was not quite the book that I was to pick up, but I did get it anyways.

The next day, I made a trip to one of our malls here and saw The Secret! I went in and purchased it with some of the bonus points that I had. I took the book home, thinking that I would just read it and that would be it. I must have read the book 5 times over and over again and marked it with post-it notes everywhere.

I did not believe what the book said and decided to try it. I wished that I would win the lottery in small amounts. To my surprise, I won 3 times in a row! That has never happened to me in all the years I have been playing. I then became a believer.

The next thing that I want to do is build a studio and teach those around me how to create. That is my next big dream.
