Welcome to the weekend everyone! Here’s 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:

- #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
Today was one of those days that wandered through several different parts of my life but somehow kept returning to the same question: what do I want the next chapter of my life to look like? I woke up late after an interesting middle-of-the-night experience. At about 3:45 a.m., I got up, and almost immediately, heard a recording say, “If you ever feel that you need a sign, trust that you are the sign.” Given everything I’ve been thinking about lately—God, the Universe, my soulmate, manifestation, and trying to understand where my life is heading—it was certainly an interesting sentence to hear at exactly that moment.
Later in the day, I found myself wrestling with some much heavier thoughts. I’ve been considering booking an hour with Edwina, even though her $250 US consultation isn’t cheap. She seems to have an unusual perspective on prayer, blessings, and allowing God to guide your life, and perhaps what I really want from her isn’t another manifestation technique at all. I want to ask someone who seems to have genuine faith what you do when you’ve had faith yourself for decades and yet feel deeply disappointed by how an important part of your life turned out. I admitted to the Universe today that I feel confused, angry, stuck, and sometimes as though years of my life have been wasted. Usually I can at least see some path ahead of me. Right now, I’m not nearly so sure. Maybe part of this period is learning to live without knowing exactly what comes next.
I eventually headed over to Tim Hortons on Guthrie and sat there with a black coffee (see photo to the right). There was nothing particularly remarkable about the scene—just me, my coffee, the tables and chairs, and people coming and going—but perhaps that was exactly what I needed. Sitting there gave me some space to think. We talked about the Buddhist idea of attachment and why it causes suffering: not simply because we want things, but because we can begin believing that our happiness depends upon life unfolding in one particular way. That certainly struck close to home. There is a strange tension between “living in the end,” believing deeply in the life I want, and at the same time learning not to desperately clutch at exactly how or when it must happen. Maybe there is something important for me to learn in that space between desire and surrender.
Oh, while at Timmie’s I talked to Rod and found out that he works from 3 pm – midnight, Wednesday to Sunday! Good to know if I ever decide to drop off some Filipino candies while he is there!
While thinking about all of this, I had a much more futuristic idea: could AI actually help me practice “living in the end”? Perhaps with a combination of AI conversations, images, movies, audio, and visualization. That idea fascinates me, and I think it may eventually become another project in my Universal Planner.
A significant part of the day was devoted to The Next Chapter. Yesterday I bought the domain, and today I continued turning it into something real. The website is online, and I successfully created an email address through Hostinger and got it working in Thunderbird. There were a few DNS adventures along the way—as there always seem to be whenever domains, email, and websites collide—but eventually everything came together.
The biggest victory was connecting the new address to Kit. The email address is now the default sending address for The Next Chapter, and the domain has been successfully authenticated as a verified sending domain. Seeing that little green checkmark was surprisingly satisfying. What began as an idea is gradually acquiring all the pieces of a real project: a name, a domain, a website, an email address, and now the infrastructure to communicate with people who might someday become part of it.
I also discovered a small YouTube channel today called “Life Rewritten… I Started Over in the Philippines.” The creator sold his home in Germany, and moved to the Philippines in 2014 without ever having visited the country. His first reaction after arriving was essentially, “What have I done?” Yet he stayed, eventually built a home and created another life. There was something about his simple message that resonated with me: life can fall apart, but it can also be rewritten.
Maybe that was the theme of today. I don’t know exactly what my future looks like. I still have questions and whether some of the things I have hoped for all my life will ever arrive. But somewhere between a black coffee at Tim Hortons, a fitted-sheet joke, a stranger’s story about starting over in the Philippines, and a little green checkmark beside a brand-new domain, there were reminders that life is still moving.
The years ahead don’t have to be merely the years that are left.
They can be the most meaningful years.
And perhaps I’m already beginning to build them.
