Monday, be good to me, okay? Up next, 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! (Yes!)
- …
- ✅ #03: 📈 Weigh yourself! (361.9 lbs. – 316.3 lbs. = 45.6 lbs. total weight loss.)
- …
- ✅ #04: 📉 Record Weight Down in Title!
- …
- ✅ #05: 📕Read/Craft Ultimate Manifestation Letter: (12:02 pm, 10:33 pm, 11:53 pm!)
- …
- ✅ #06: ☕ Over AM Coffee, say Terje’s Script! (*** NOTES ***) (12:03 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.
- …
- ✅ #07: Abraham Hicks “Top 3” Daily Items! (*** NOTES ***) (Yep!)

📋Additional Daily Notes
The last day of August began with something that has apparently not quite finished working its way through my mind. I woke at around 7:20 this morning remembering very little of my dream, except that Randy Bachman was in it. I couldn’t remember where we were or exactly what happened, but I retained the feeling that I wanted to play with Randy, see him, spend some time with him, or simply be with him. Six days after standing beside Randy and Burton Cummings at the VIP meet-and-greet in Victoria, the experience is obviously still rattling around somewhere inside me.
After getting up, I had a more ordinary responsibility waiting for me: taking my daughter to the dentist. Once I got back home, though, I found myself thinking again about where my own life is going. At 12:03 p.m., I talked to the Universe. I asked for a little more input in my life—something to chew on, a nudge toward my passion, something that might help me move in the right direction and simply be happier. I said I was listening and invited an idea, conversation, opportunity or coincidence. And, naturally, I added that a toonie would be appreciated too.
Interestingly enough, less than two hours later I was sitting at Mudsharks, nursing an Expresso (see photo to the right), and having a conversation with somebody I’d never met before. Philippe, a Coffee Club match. On paper, we’d been matched because we’re both interested in things like creativity, writing, storytelling, podcasts, reflection and some of the bigger questions about life.
Food-wise, the day wasn’t exactly one for the AI Diet history books. 😄 Later I stopped at Subway and had a 12-inch steak-and-bacon sub combo, complete with chips and a fountain drink, while watching David Muir and ABC World News Tonight. Afterward I ended up at McDonald’s for coffee, where I watched some old Delish videos. That led me down another little nostalgia trail, wondering what had become of Tess Koman and June Xie, two of the personalities I remembered from Delish and its COVID-era YouTube videos.
I also meditated for 20 minutes today. I don’t remember anything particularly profound happening during it. No great revelation arrived, and I can’t reconstruct any specific train of thought afterward. But once again, Randy Bachman seemed to be hovering somewhere in the background of my mind.
That’s interesting in itself. Randy appeared in my dream this morning, and then he remained somewhere around the edges during meditation. Maybe that’s nothing more mysterious than my brain continuing to process an emotionally unfinished experience. Maybe there is something about the whole encounter that I haven’t understood yet. And maybe—though I certainly can’t know this—the story really isn’t finished.
What feels different is that I’m trying not to force an answer. Yesterday I experimented with taking a very simple idea into meditation: “I’ve asked enough. Now I allow.” I’m beginning to like that approach. I don’t have to continually demand another wink from the Universe, interpret every coincidence, or figure out exactly how the next chapter is supposed to happen. I can ask my questions, live my life, meet people, make things, have conversations, meditate—and pay attention.
Perhaps that’s the real theme of this final day of August. I woke thinking about someone I’d wanted to connect with. I spent part of the afternoon actually connecting with someone new. I asked the Universe for something interesting, and then I had an interesting conversation. I wondered about passion and direction, while continuing to experiment with videos, meditation, writing and meeting people.
No lightning bolt arrived. No voice announced my purpose. And, as far as I know, no toonie appeared. 😄
But something happened.
I got out of the house, sat across from an interesting stranger, talked about AI and imaginary worlds and the real world and the little corner of Vancouver Island where we both live, and came away thinking, “I’d enjoy talking to that guy again.”
Maybe Becoming doesn’t always happen through enormous revelations.
Sometimes it happens over coffee.
