Hang on gang, the weekend is only one day away! Up right 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! (Yep!)
- …
- ✅ #02: 😴 Record any Nighttime Whispers! (Who Will Show Me The Way?)
- …
- ✅ #03: 📈 Weigh yourself! (361.9 lbs. – 317.6 lbs. = 44.3 lbs. total weight loss.)
- …
- ✅ #04: 📉 Record Weight Down in Title!
- …
- ☐✅ #05: 📕Read/Craft Ultimate Manifestation Letter: (2:55 pm)
- …
- ✅ #06: ☕ Over AM Coffee, say Terje’s Script! (*** NOTES ***) (1:53 pm!)
- #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
Friday turned out to be one of those days that wandered through a surprising number of subjects—dreams, the Universe, blood work, Filipino greetings, Genshin Impact, Reddit, a thunderstorm, Subway, haircutting scissors and finally the moon shining through the trees.
Maggie Murphy has talked about how quickly circumstances can sometimes change. Then there is Neville Goddard’s idea that what I’m looking for already exists within me. Maybe the important question isn’t whether I can somehow go back and repair the first 66 years. Obviously I can’t. The question is whether I can make whatever years remain the happiest, most interesting and most alive years of my life.
At 1:53 p.m., I headed to Island Health to have blood drawn. Before leaving, I talked out loud to the Universe. I asked for some guidance, some happiness and maybe a few little winks along the way. Finding a Toonie would be fun! But I also reminded myself of the idea I’ve been playing with: I don’t have to frantically search for the sign. I am the sign. The Toonie already exists. The life I want already exists as a possibility. My job is to get myself into alignment with it and see what happens.
Even finding a parking space at Island Health became a little adventure. The lot was packed, but I managed to squeeze the Camry into a small spot and headed inside. The blood work itself went smoothly, and hopefully the results will be there by Monday.
That little encounter also got me thinking about something. I’ve been asking the Universe to bring more happiness into my life, but maybe alignment isn’t just sitting around waiting for happiness to arrive. I can generate some of it myself. I can joke with somebody at a reception desk. I can make a stranger laugh. I can tell somebody they look good. I can put a little sunshine into somebody else’s afternoon even when my own life doesn’t feel particularly sunny.
That thought continued when I changed my coffee plans. I had been heading toward McDonald’s, but remembered that Rod was working at Tim Hortons on Guthrie Road. I went there instead, ordered a small coffee with oat milk and sat down. When Rod arrived, he had a sharp new haircut.
“Guapo Rod!”
Handsome Rod. 😄
Maybe that’s what alignment looks like at its simplest—not performing good deeds because the Universe now owes me, but becoming a little more like the person I would be if I already felt happy, connected and engaged with life.
The weather provided plenty of drama of its own. A thunderstorm rolled through the Comox Valley during the afternoon, so I stayed home for a while and had a nap. After getting up, I spent some time with the kids and talked to them about Genshin Impact and how things were going.
This whole Genshin experiment is becoming interesting. I’ve decided to learn the game gradually, partly because it’s something the kids enjoy and therefore something we can potentially share. I learned more about Adventure Rank, the overall objective of the game, and even “gacha”—a word I initially heard as “gotcha.” The idea comes from Japanese capsule-toy machines and, in Genshin, essentially means using the game’s Wish system for a randomized chance of receiving characters and weapons.
Eventually I headed out again. I was hungry and stopped at Subway, where I had a footlong sandwich, chips and a drink (see photo to the right). Probably should have stayed home and eaten more potatoes, but hunger won this particular round. While sitting there, I had my tablet out and was also looking at a pair of professional 5.5-inch left-handed hair-cutting scissors on Amazon. Being left-handed, I wanted actual left-handed scissors rather than fighting with another tool designed for the other 90 percent of humanity. I ordered them.
Then it was off to McDonald’s, where I had coffee and a caramel sundae and settled in to do considerably more reading about Genshin Impact.
Later, after the storm had passed, there was one final visual treat. The moon appeared through the remaining clouds and enormous dark evergreens around the house. I took a series of photographs as it disappeared and reappeared between the branches. The pictures have an almost mysterious quality—the brilliant moon and illuminated clouds surrounded by the black silhouettes of the trees.
It seemed like an appropriate ending to the day.
I didn’t find my Toonie.
I didn’t receive a booming voice from the heavens identifying my spiritual adviser.
And I didn’t suddenly discover the blueprint for the rest of my life.
But maybe that’s asking too much of one Friday.
I had dreams worth thinking about. I made some people laugh. I complimented Rod. I got my blood work done. I spent time connecting with the kids through something they love. I learned something new. I bought myself a pair of left-handed scissors. I ate a very large sandwich and a caramel sundae. I reconsidered my disappointing encounter with one of my musical heroes. And at the end of it all, I stood outside and watched the moon emerge from behind the remnants of a thunderstorm.
Maybe the next chapter doesn’t arrive all at once.
Maybe it comes in little pieces.
And maybe my job right now is simply to keep noticing them.
