It’s another Comox Valley Tuesday my friends! Item #1 on my “ToDo List” will start today off: (You can use these symbols: ☐✅).

Morning

  • ✅ #01: 📌 Work on Universal Planner! (Yep!)
  • ✅ #02: 😴 Record any Nighttime Whispers! (Nope!)
  • ☐✅ #03: 📕Read/Craft Ultimate Manifestation Letter: <>
  • ✅ #04: ☕ Over AM Coffee, say Terje’s Script! (*** NOTES ***) (10:05 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

2026-11-10 - McD Breakfast

Another Tuesday in the Comox Valley, and another day of working on my Becoming journey. Some days seem to be filled with major accomplishments, while others are more about reflecting, learning, and discovering little things along the way. Today turned out to be a little of everything, including a rather unexpected discovery late in the evening.

I got my daughter off to school this morning and headed over to McDonald’s, where I picked up one of their $5 value meals (see photo to the left) and settled in to work on my Universal Planner. It was around 10:05 a.m. when I recorded another little message to the Universe. As usual, my thoughts wandered toward my life, my relationships, and the question of how I ended up where I am today.

I spent some time watching another video from Andrew Taylor of Spud Fit. This particular video documented a significant milestone in his year-long potato diet. Andrew had finally dropped below 100 kilograms, weighing in at 99.8 kilograms, or approximately 220 pounds. He had lost nearly 114 pounds and hadn’t weighed so little since he was about 15 years old! What caught my attention was that he’d been stuck at a weight-loss plateau for approximately two months. Rather than dramatically reducing his portions, he experimented with removing sauces and added salt from his potatoes. Within a week, his weight dropped below that stubborn 100-kilogram barrier.

There was something encouraging about watching Andrew celebrate that accomplishment. He hadn’t been counting calories or limiting how much he ate. He simply continued with his routine, making a small adjustment when progress slowed. Of course, a potato-only diet isn’t something I’d want to follow indefinitely, but the broader lesson is worth considering as I continue developing my AI Diet v1.05. Perhaps some of those little extras, particularly sauces and dressings, deserve more attention. Equally important is remembering that weight fluctuates naturally and that a temporary plateau doesn’t necessarily mean a program has stopped working.

Another interesting video came from Buzz, an American retiree living near Dumaguete in the Philippines. Buzz discussed the realities of medical care for expatriates, including doctor visits, medication costs, hospital stays, surgeries, and insurance. His experiences were fascinating, particularly because I’ve often thought about the possibility of spending time in the Philippines. He described routine doctor visits costing only a few hundred pesos and shared how a four-day hospitalization for a urinary tract infection cost him approximately $400 US after discounts. He also described considerably more expensive surgeries and the differences between public and private hospitals.

One particularly interesting example involved a woman who needed surgery to repair a broken jaw following a motorcycle accident. Buzz explained that treatment at a public hospital cost approximately $1,000 US, compared with an estimated $5,000 at a private hospital, although she had to wait two weeks for surgery. He also warned about dangerous motorcycle traffic, limited emergency facilities, and the importance of medical insurance. His experiences reminded me that retiring overseas involves considerably more than finding inexpensive accommodation and enjoying warm weather. Access to reliable medical care becomes increasingly important as we get older.

Another project today involved a YouTube video from Overstay Road featuring Fatima and a visit to Jollibee with Lil’ Kim’s family. I wanted to understand the Filipino conversations taking place throughout the video, so I investigated how to download the audio and have it translated into English with accurate timestamps. I found the 4K YouTube to MP3 program, downloaded the recording, and uploaded the resulting 44-minute audio file to ChatGPT. Unfortunately, we couldn’t produce a reliable translation directly, so I looked into using TurboScribe to create a timestamped transcript first. It’s another little experiment with AI technology, and one that could be useful for understanding Filipino-language videos in the future.

As the day progressed, I enjoyed two burritos but eventually became incredibly tired. Around 5:00 p.m., I decided to lie down for a nap, and the next thing I knew, it was approximately 10:00 p.m.! Apparently, my body needed the rest. Outside, the weather was wet and miserable, but I wasn’t quite ready to call it a night, so I decided to venture out.

I arrived at McDonald’s around 10:30 p.m., only to discover that they were closing at 11:00 p.m. rather than midnight. Perhaps they’ve switched to winter hours. I ordered one of their stroopwafel McFlurries along with a coffee, but before long it was time to leave. Rather than heading straight home, I decided to take a little drive around town.

My first stop was Walmart, where they’re still working on repairs following the smoke damage to the store. The grocery section has reopened, however, and someone mentioned that they open at 7:00 a.m. I might return tomorrow to pick up some salad dressings and see what else is available.

I drove back to Comox and then something rather wonderful happened.

As I drove through the dark, rainy streets, I noticed an old-fashioned telephone booth standing beneath a group of enormous evergreen trees. It was brightly illuminated, with its blue and white light reflecting beautifully across the wet pavement. I couldn’t believe it! I didn’t even realize these old telephone booths were still around, let alone standing in the middle of Comox.

Naturally, I stopped to take some photographs. The scene was almost cinematic: the deserted street, the rain glistening on the asphalt, the towering trees, and that lonely illuminated telephone booth seemingly waiting for someone to make a call. It looked like something out of another era, a little piece of the past surviving in a world where practically everyone carries a smartphone.

I began wondering whether the telephone actually works. Does it still accept coins? Is it maintained by a telephone company, or has it simply been left there as a relic of another time? I’ll have to return during daylight and investigate.

More importantly, I immediately thought that this might make a wonderful subject for an upcoming YouTube video. There’s something rather poetic about an old telephone booth standing alone in the rain. Perhaps it represents communication, forgotten connections, or the countless conversations that once took place inside those little glass enclosures. How many people stood there making important calls? How many shared wonderful news, heartbreaking news, or simply called someone they loved?

Maybe there’s a story waiting to be told.

Eventually, I returned home and made myself some air-fried potatoes and broccoli. I spent a little more time updating my notes and blog, reflecting on the day’s events before getting ready to head back to bed. By then, it was already the early hours of Wednesday morning.

I don’t know exactly where this journey is leading, but I do know that I’m still curious, still exploring, and still looking for the beauty hidden in everyday experiences.

Maybe finding my bliss isn’t just about reaching some distant destination. Maybe it’s also about learning to recognize those small, unexpected moments of wonder along the way.

Good night, Universe. Another day of Becoming is behind me, and tomorrow brings another opportunity to discover what might be waiting around the next corner.
