- #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 a day of family responsibilities, naps, errands, and a few unexpected discoveries. This morning, I took my son to the doctor because he hurt his knee in a bike accident the other day. After we came home, I had a nap, picked up my daughter, and had another nap. By evening, I was finishing paperwork and thinking about getting out for a while.
At 7:31 p.m., the sun had gone down here in the Comox Valley. I had a little conversation with the universe: perhaps I could find a toonie somewhere along the way, find more of my passion and bliss, and feel some companionship as I went about my evening. Nothing elaborate—just a small invitation to whatever might come next.
With only one potato left, a Costco potato run seemed necessary. I came away with plenty of potatoes, along with peppers and some Zevia. Unfortunately, they no longer carried the PB2 powder I was looking for, so I’ll have to find that somewhere else. Potatoes are still what I’m eating mostly, and the bags on my counter certainly reflect that. DD Vegan, #0003, continues.
I also listened to Andrew from SpudFit talk about something that deserves more attention: men have feelings too. He described how much casual comments about his weight had hurt him over the years. His point was simple—someone who struggles with their weight already knows it, and making jokes doesn’t help. A kind word, some support, or simply talking about something else can make a much better difference.
By about 9:44 p.m., I was at McDonald’s for coffee. Their Monopoly promotion had just started, and the restaurant was decorated with red, black, and gold balloons, hanging game pieces, and a giant die (see photo to the right). A staff member told me that a small coffee didn’t come with Monopoly pieces, but a medium or large did. That gave me something to consider, although there’s still something appealing about a one-dollar coffee.
Once I had some game pieces, figuring out what to do with them became its own little project. One was Parliament Hill, part of a collection for a Nissan prize, and another offered 4,000 rewards points. They said to enter the codes through the app, but I couldn’t see where to do that. I watched a YouTube explanation about McDonald’s Monopoly, and Monopoly GO also made an appearance on my screen. Apparently, an evening coffee can lead down quite a gaming rabbit hole.
I finished watching The Bridge on the River Kwai, too, and its ending genuinely caught me off guard. I certainly didn’t expect the injured man to be the one left alive after firing on the others. It left me thinking about pride, duty, and how a person can become so invested in an achievement that they lose sight of what it serves. I can understand why people still talk about this film so many years later.
My curiosity carried on after the credits. I wanted to know where they built the bridge, whether the structure Alec Guinness walked across was the one they actually destroyed, and how they filmed an explosion they couldn’t easily repeat. Learning that they built a real bridge in Sri Lanka and blew it up with a train made the scene even more impressive. That must have cost a pretty penny—and I certainly would have wanted plenty of cameras running.
From there, I wandered into questions about Alec Guinness’s earnings from Star Wars and what he did with his money. The profit arrangement seems to have been extraordinarily rewarding, although the enormous totals people repeat aren’t all equally reliable. I liked hearing that the money gave him comfort and more freedom to choose his work. Somewhere in these conversations, I also learned what boondocking means: camping without the usual hookups. It was an evening with quite a range of subjects.
On the creative side, I spent time looking over the progress on my romance novel project. The Man Who Noticed Her now has a complete private first draft of 24 chapters, at roughly 27,500 words. The recent work has given Mia’s choices more weight, strengthened the consequences of Eli’s actions, and allowed their relationship and goodbye more room to develop. There’s still work ahead, especially around the story’s foundations, continuity, and visual moments that should reveal something new.
The first step toward a reader community is now real as well: the Facebook Page is live. Seeing its heart icon, cover, bio, and website link felt good. The next step is an introductory post explaining what my novel concept is. I also had a DD Vegan #0003 graphic created from the evening’s images—potatoes, Monopoly, balloons, and a red heart. By the time Tuesday slipped into Wednesday, I had a record of a day that mixed ordinary responsibilities with curiosity and a little creative momentum.
