Some people believe that in life “shit happens” – millions of bumper stickers even say so. These same realists might think that everything unfolds over our lifetime in a series of random occurrences and that wishing and hoping result in a future full of disappointments? My rational side can understand this philosophy but the dreamer in me can’t quite go along with it.
“Follow your bliss and the universe will open doors where there were only walls.” – Joseph Campbell
Did you know that you can talk to the universe and sometimes the universe listens? It’s been listening to me lately. I don’t always believe in things I can’t see or touch, but I sure as hell believe in that…and “what goes around comes around”, and right and wrong, and trusting your gut, and true friendship, and love…
…and “mind over matter”.
Maybe I’m becoming a true believer.

I’m with you Toni, the power of positive thought is an amazing thing, and isn’t it a great feeling when things go right for you.
Julie, Yes, and it’s more than just things going right – it’s a feeling you are in the right place and going in the right direction. It seems signs appear everywhere if you open your eyes…even big, yellow, YIELD ones. 🙂 t
You are 1000% correct! And thank you for reminding me as I go through a patch of uncertainty 🙂 the only way ahead is forward!
Ingrid, you of all people know that you are on the right path – even if the path shifts a little to the left or right…you ARE going forward with the plan…keep you eyes on the prize! hugs. t
Hmm, this entry is very mysterious Toni! Sounds like good things are happening! Miss you!
Lisa, why does everyone think I have something up my sleeve? I just was thinking…Miss you too. How are you holding up? Is the post-Italia depression setting in?
Write soon with all the updates. Hugs. t
Your Joseph Campbell quote follows this one which is mine that I have followed for years…Seems pretty close to me!
