Dear John，

My name is Amber and I want to share my story with you because what you've shared about life and positive energy has changed my life. This past year has been one of the hardest for me. I felt I was stuck in a position that had nothing to do with what I wanted to do with my life. In January, after two years of being together, my boyfriend left me.

I read your blog every morning as I drink my coffee at work, but it wasn't until this March that I told myself “no more negativity” as you taught readers in your blog.

Since then I've got into new habits at work to keep my energy positive.When people walk in from the front door, I'm the first face they see, so I smile big when I say good morning to them, especially on Mondays. Instead of waiting for someone to ask me for help, I offer it with an open mind. The CEO noticed my change and offered me the executive assistant position that I wanted.

One of the biggest things I've taken to heart from your blog is changing my perspective on my job. Yes, it was not an important position, but when I was passionate(热情的) about it, I could make my life fulfilling.

All in all, I have to thank you somehow for having the passion to help others because it is truly inspiring to me. So thank you so much, John. My life has changed because your words pointed me in the right direction. Take care!

Yours sincerely，

Amber

B

I lost both of my parents in a tragic car accident when I was five. Fortunately, at that age a child doesn‟t understand the finality of such an event.

Many years later, at the age of twenty-three, I was planning my wedding to Sheldon, who came from a complete loving family, the type I expect. Sheldon and I had already bought our first home with a large, beautifully landscaped yard. As the date grew closer and we took ownership of the home, we began to clean, arrange inside and out.

The day before our wedding we were putting the final touches to the yard. We were so pleased with the neatness of it all. But one plant puzzled us. A rosebush located just outside our front door, was completely barren of leaves or buds. It looked liked it might be dead, but since neither of us could be sure, we reluctantly decided to keep it for the time being.

That same evening, after the dinner, I was too excited to sleep. Instead I decided I needed some quiet time to reflect on the wedding the next day. I went to the backyard and sat in the warm, clear, star-filled night. It was there that I realized the only thing missing from my wedding day would be my parents. There had been no time to think of this until now and the thought filled me with sadness. After all, every girl dreams of having her father walk her down the aisle and her mother there to comfort her anxiety. Alone in the yard, I began speaking to my mom and dad, just as if I had known they were listening.

“Give me a sign on my wedding day to let me know you‟re with me.”

The next day Sheldon‟s excited voice repeatedly called my name. I rushed to join him at the front door.

“I can‟t believe what I‟m about to show you!”

He stood aside. The barren rosebush had two huge roses in full bloom.

There was no doubt in my mind that we were witnessing a miracle…a miracle of love.
