Hang on guys! The work week is almost over! Now, for your viewing pleasure, item #1 on my “ToDo List”: (You can use these symbols: ☐✅).
Remember, losing weight means:
- No more joint pain.
- Easier to get up/down stairs.
- New clothes.
- Socialize more.
- Travel more.
So, keep motivated! Here goes:
Morning
- ✅ #01: 📌 Work on Universal Planner! (Yes!)
- …
- ✅ #02: 😴 Record any Nighttime Whispers! (None!)
- …
- ✅ #03: 📈 Weigh yourself! (361.9 lbs. – 323.4 lbs. = 38.5 lbs. total weight loss.)
- …
- ✅ #04: 📉 Record Weight Down in Title!

- ✅ #05: 📕Read/Craft Ultimate Manifestation Letter: (11:46 am,
- …
- ✅ #06: ☕ Over AM Coffee, say Terje’s Script! (*** NOTES ***) (11:48 am)
- #1) Hello – Begin by acknowledging them out loud. Simply say “Hello Universe” and open the conversation. The goal is not perfection or certainty, but connection. Say “THANK YOU” for everything and be SPECIFIC about manifestations!
- #2) Honesty – Speak truthfully about what you actually feel — fear, loneliness, frustration, gratitude, confusion, hope, excitement, doubt, or exhaustion. Don’t perform spirituality. Just be real.
- #3) Companionship – Treat them like companions walking beside you. Share little moments throughout the day: things you notice, appreciate, wonder about, or find beautiful or funny. Build relationship, not just requests.
- #4) Meetings – Take a few moments each day to talk through your life with them — what’s ahead today, what you’re worried about, what you want, where you feel stuck, and where you’d appreciate support or clarity.
- #5) Asking – Ask first for emotional relief and inner calm, then ask for solutions, guidance, pop-ins, signs, opportunities, ideas, or small favors. Ask openly without demanding exact outcomes or trying to control how the answer arrives.
- #6) Releasing – After asking, stop forcing. Go live your life. Walk, drive, work, brainstorm out loud, drink coffee, move through ordinary moments, and allow ideas or clarity to arise naturally instead of mentally gripping for answers.
- #7) Noticing – Pay attention to what returns — sudden ideas, emotional shifts, coincidences, synchronicities, timing, relief, unexpected opportunities, little “winks,” or moments that feel quietly meaningful. Then continue the conversation and relationship over time.

📋Additional Daily Notes
It was an overcast Friday morning here in the Comox Valley, and for once I was quite happy to see the clouds because it seemed like perfect fishing weather. I took my son fishing, and while we didn’t actually catch any fish, he did manage to reel in a rather impressive amount of aquatic vegetation. We even got a photograph of him proudly displaying his “catch,” which looked more like the beginnings of a salad than anything we could bring home for dinner. As we were leaving, I came across a fishing tip suggesting that perhaps we hadn’t been leaving our hooks in the water long enough. Maybe we’ve simply been too impatient. So we’ll probably give it another try. Fish or no fish, though, it was a morning outside with my son, and that made it worthwhile.
At 11:48 a.m., I did my little check-in with the Universe. I was thinking about yesterday’s meeting with Miranda and something rather interesting that had come out of it. Miranda and I had talked about manifestation and the Law of Attraction, subjects that fascinate both of us. She had also told me a great story about once dreaming that a man she knew was going to have a son. When she saw him sometime later and told him about the dream, she discovered that he actually had had a son. So today I jokingly told Miranda that if she ever happens to have a dream about me having a son, she needs to let me know. She seems to be batting 100 on that particular prediction, and I’ll need some time to prepare.
Something considerably more tangible came out of our conversation too. I mentioned that I’m not sure how, but I had started watching some videos by a lady in the Comox Valley named Shannon. I liked what she had to say about overcoming challenges and found out that she had an autistic son. Maybe she could give me some pointers about how to parent Katie? Well, I was thinking of going to see her at the “Weird Church” as she was having an event, but decided not to in case the women in the audience might find having perhaps the only man in attendance a bit awkward. Driving down the road a few days later, I was thinking of her, and low and behold, I think I saw her crossing the street! Near ScotiaBank on 5th Street. Coincidence? Perhaps! Then low and behold, a few days after that, I saw on her feed a little video she posted of Miranda dancing with her in her Condo! This is what I had to mention to Miranda to see what she thought of it. Miranda smiled and said “I love when things like this happen”!
Miranda and I then talked about a number of subjects so I suspected nothing would come of it, but then, I got a message from Miranda that she had contacted Shannon and told her a little about our conversation. Shannon told her that she would be happy to talk to me, so I texted her, and we’ll see what develops!
I find the sequence of events fascinating. Is that manifestation? Synchronicity? Coincidence? Ordinary human networking? I don’t know. But I do know that something I’d been wondering how to make happen unfolded without me having to force it at all. That’s exactly the kind of thing I’ve been thinking about lately.
My focus then went to a topic for my upcoming video on my channel… I decided I would film me making “Vegan Dog Treats” (see photo to the right)! ChatGPT helped, and the recipe couldn’t be much easier: a ripe banana and finely ground oats mixed into a thick dough, pressed into little molds, cooked in the air fryer, and then put into my dehydrator until they’re crunchy. No peanut butter, no added sugar, no oil, nothing elaborate. Just something simple I could make myself.
Later in the day, my son decided he wanted KFC, so our father-and-son Friday moved from fishing in the morning to fried chicken in the evening. We went down to the KFC on Cliffe Avenue in Courtenay. Earlier I’d asked ChatGPT what drinks they had, and it told me about KFC Canada’s newer Kwench drinks, including a watermelon Boba Refresher. That sounded like something my son might enjoy. There was just one problem: our KFC didn’t have it. We picked up a large package of original recipe chicken tenders with two huge orders of fries on the side…enough to last the weekend!
And that was Friday. Fishing with my son under an overcast Comox Valley sky. A giant piece of vegetation masquerading as our morning catch. Thinking about yesterday’s conversation with Miranda. An unexpected path opening toward meeting Shannon. More progress on The AI Diet Plan. A 30-Day Reset Checklist and graphic. Making vegan dog treats. KFC with my son. A watermelon boba drink that apparently exists everywhere except where we happened to be.
There were no enormous breakthroughs today. We didn’t catch a fish. I didn’t suddenly find the toonie lying at my feet. I didn’t receive some grand revelation explaining exactly what I’m supposed to do with the rest of my life. But perhaps that’s becoming part of the lesson. I’ve spent a lot of time waiting for life to change dramatically before allowing myself to believe that something important is happening. Maybe I’ve been looking for fireworks when much of life actually happens in smaller flashes: an unexpected introduction, an idea for a video, trying a new recipe, standing beside the water with my son, or sitting across from him at KFC.
Someday he won’t be 11. Someday I won’t be 66. Someday that photograph of him standing by the water holding up a giant clump of weeds will be an old photograph, and perhaps I’ll look at it and realize that the fact we didn’t catch a fish was never particularly important. We went fishing together. Later we went to KFC together.
It was just an ordinary Friday.
But maybe ordinary Fridays aren’t so ordinary while you’re actually living them.
Maybe that’s where quite a lot of life is hiding.
And maybe that’s Becoming too.
