Years ago my friend Carolanne and I went through a phase of reading things like the Insights of the Celestine Prophesy, The Prophet and the Enneagram. (We had been friends since high school and were bored with being 20 somethings, how funny is that.) We would read parts then try to explain them and how they fit into what was going on our 20 something lives and how they related the future. We had no clue what we were talking about then and I don't claim to now.
One of our favorite passages was about being alert for messages that the universe is sending to you. It went something like...when you meet someone ask...do you have a message for me? This always made us laugh and we did try it out a few times on the wrong side of happy hour, I don't think it was meant to be taken literally.
My mum is a big Enneagram fan and my sister is way into creative visualization. Both swear they work and I notice that when things are not going the way I hoped like lately, I tend to believe them more. I am have written a lot recently about how I am not good with change and about my nostalgia for times gone by. I am bad at change but I am even worse at being down and when I feel like that I start to pick up those books again, just in case I am missing something and I always start to feel better.
In the last couple of weeks I keep seeing Wayne Dyer mentioned everywhere. I mean is it just me? Friends mention him, I see his books, he is on TV, so tonight when I was looking for something to read to get me past the spring insomnia I found this Wayne Dyer quote...
" These are the good old days."
Now if that's not a message from the universe I don't know what is.

I have a theory that Dr. Dyer is like Santa Claus (in that he "sees you when you're sleeping... etc, not that he goes to Bloomingdales to give gifts).
After I watched that video that I wrote about on my blog, the first quote that I flipped to in a little book said something about how it's stupid and pointless to seek validation from other people. It has been a theme lately and I almost exclaimed, "Dr. Dyer, you've got the answer!"
