IMG_1411Some 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.
