lowe-down: a present from the universe
I got onto an empty subway car the other day and across from me was a little lonely worn out book propped up on the chair. At first, I didn’t pay it much attention, but after a few stops of people getting on and off, not even acknowledging the little thing, I felt like I was the only one who saw it. It was calling my name! It was meant for me!! So, as the doors opened at my stop, I snatched the book and hopped out of the closing doors, just to see that the title of the book was:
“THE AMAZING RESULTS OF POSITIVE THINKING”
AMAZING!!!
How appropriate for having felt a little discouraged!! Five pages in, I had felt so many emotions from goosebumps to tears, and the words were really fitting for my life and my situation…five pages in. I feel like this book was a gift; A present from the universe which would give me that extra encouragement. This isn’t the first time this has happened, but the first time in a while. I believe your mind has to be open to seeing the signs that are sent to inspire you, guide you in the right direction, remind you of who you are or provide you with what you need to keep moving forward.
I haven’t read the entire book yet, but will definitely give you guys a thourough review once done!
Have you ever been given a present from the universe or felt as if you saw a sign that was there for a reason? If so, I’d love to hear your story by leaving a comment!!
I leave you with a quote from the book:
“And right here I think it is important to define what we mean by success. Naturally we do not mean mere achievement, but rather the more difficult feat of handing your life efficiently. It means to be a success as a person; controlled, organized, not part of the world’s problem but a part of its cure.”

WOW! Amazing!
I can’t believe that that happenned to you! I felt chills…Its weird that things always fall into place and unfold the way they are supposed to… I think that’s what makes living in the moment so refreshing…no matter how much you worry or stress, whats meant to be will happen and the universe will give you exactly what you need…so might as well make the most of each moment…have a great weekend…

Girl, moments like that you gotta believe that God exits. You might not rigidly follow his teachings, maybe you don’t even believe in God but the Lord is faithful & loving and he realized what you needed to hear and sent you a lil present down… just to show you that in the midst of the madness that is life, He still got you! xo. I pray you will one day accept His invitation to be a friend.
In other news… Micro-dermabrasion. You guys are beauty queens and I was wondering about it. Some people call it skin polishing but I want to know if it was safe? Do you guuys know anything about it or if there’s any spots in T.O?
Love you girls.

i’ve had many experiences where things just seemed to fall right into place…but i definitely don’t think it’s coincidence, i believe whether we are consious of it or not, God is always working things out in our favor…and sends us signs or guidance that encourage and inspire us

‘Frustration’ is the feeling that occurs when we cannot see as far as our ambition at times, demands.
‘Faith’ is the feeling that fills these empty points of our vision.
‘Success’ is the conquering of frustration with trust.
Sometimes the universe just nudges us along, when we begin to stumble out of frustration. Keep at it…whatever your chasing, your closer than you think.
