Victoria's Story
When I was a child, I always thought that I was destined for great things. As I entered into adolescence, my self- esteem was threatened and my thoughts of greatness diminished. My biological father told me, “Marry the first one that comes along because there won’t be anyone else”. I did just that. I was married very young, believing in the “Cinderella theory” that I had met my prince and had two sons. Needless to say, my husband left taking my children with him. Taking away the very essence of my being and leaving me with a broken and self destructive course in life. I knew nothing of the power of positive energy back then.
I did get my GED and attended some college classes. In 1998, I wrote a poetry book called “Dare to Dream” that had all my years of hurt and pain in it. It sold over 300 copies in the New England area. My last copy went to my favorite singer Stevie Nicks. I was in all the local papers and even received a letter from the Senator of the state of NH. I still wasn’t satisfied. I wanted more! I felt I hadn’t fulfilled my destiny.
In early 2001, I was struck with the reality of being diagnosed with a life threatening disease called Lupus. I was told I would be dead within a year. I remember clearly saying, “I can’t die, I haven’t seen my grandchildren yet.” My sons were devastated and refused to believe it. I prayed every night for the day I had survived and prayed on my knees in the morning for the chance for a new day. I was grateful. In 2002, I was cleared and the doctor amazingly could not find my Lupus in any of her tests. Even though I was grateful, I still didn’t get it.
I continued through my life trying to find that someone that would love me forever. I married three more times. In early 2006, my fourth husband left me. I was devastated. I had to ask myself “what was it that I was looking for?” The realization hit me that I wanted to feel needed. Over the Fourth of July weekend, I received an email with the attachment of the online version of “The Secret Laws of Attraction”. I shut off my phone, locked my door and shut my curtains. I watched that movie seven times in that weekend. I cried to know of all the bad things I brought into my life but then became grateful for all those things that happened to me as they made me the woman I was at that moment. A strong woman who had beaten the worst things possible.
I thought of what it was I wanted. I wanted to travel and be a teacher. I wanted to go to Sri Lanka to teach. What happened over the next three months was truly incredible. I had posted a picture of children of Sri Lanka so that I saw it everyday. I kept telling everyone that I was leaving to go overseas and didn’t have a clue how I was going to do it but knew it would happen. The Universe was about to show me the way. In 2005, I had been in a car accident and the money from that finally came in. It wasn’t a huge amount by far, yet with that money I was able to pay off all my debts. It also paid for my flight and schooling for my TESOL certificate in India where I taught for six months. I was never upset that I didn’t make it to Sri Lanka. I was grateful that I was abroad. Since then I have gone through some amazing experiences. My sons and I have amazing relationships. They are both married and I have seen those grandchildren! I then received a teaching job in Xi’an China. I was here for the earthquake, the torch relay, and the 2008 Olympics. I also helped the earthquake victims receiving a distinguished award from the Chinese government and the Xi’an Red cross. I wrote an article for the local magazine China Grooves. I also continue to be grateful for all of my experiences and those people I come in contact with. My business has flourished and I look forward to many more great experiences!
