Life's Echo

No doubt that it's true.  So many times I've noticed that whatever "vibe" or "hope" or "wish" I am sending out often reflects back to me--just like an echo when you're throwing your voice out to the Universe.  No doubt that the universe hears our every hope, our every wish, our every desire.  

"Be very careful what you wish for." my mother used to say wisely.  And perhaps she knew that so often wishes do come true.  Especially those that we focus on and want from our inner core.  Wishes are so powerful and I'm learning that if you frame your wish in a positive light and begin to think of it as already true--it is far more likely to happen.  

At one point in my life I did indeed harness the power of the "Wish" and it served me well--but of late (these last few years) I've found myself losing focus and forgetting just how to make it all work. I do know and remember this though:   Angst and anxiety cannot be included in the equation when making your wish.  True belief and knowing is what must be paramount and I am ashamed to say that I have been guilty of being caught up in the negativity of worry and forgetting to frame my wishes with positive light and the true knowing that they will come true.  Another thing I know is that you must be certain that what you wish for is what you want.  Once that desire is heartfelt and given to the Universe, it truly begins to bring it to fruition, to bring to you your hearts' desire.  But do be careful--for whenever you change that desire, the Universe will set about working on what you are presently hoping, wishing, focusing for and will abandon that which you have abandoned.

Too often in my life I have watched in awe as my wishes and hopes have unfolded before my very eyes.  I know I have the power to make all of my wishes, hopes and dreams to come true--but my first order of business is to make SURE that I truly KNOW exactly what it is that I want.  Once the desire is clearly defined, there is no stopping the attainment--it then just becomes a matter of time.

The Chinese Proverb, "Life is an Echo; What you send out comes back" Is all too true.  Now go out and use your "echo" wisely.  

Blessings to All!

Dreams...

But sometimes the night is nice too.  I love my dreams that come whenever I am asleep.  I never know who I might get to see there.

Last night it was my dad.

Loved seeing him again and being able to chat awhile.

He told me something--

said it was important.

"Olivia Post." he said with reverence.  "It's time to take your trash out to the curb."

"But dad--the container is only half full--it can wait til next time." was my reply.

"Oliva.  You need to get this trash out of here now.  Just do it.  You've always been an expert procrastinator.  So take care of it, then next week you can deal with other things instead of this." says my dad.

I sigh heavily.

"Fine! Just to please you, I'll take the damn trash out to the curb!" I say in a huff!

And he smiles and helps me.  Though the container is only half full, it weighs far more than I expected and my dad offers his help with a smile.  I gladly accept.  When the container is placed in its spot at the curb I look at dad and smile.  "Thanks, dad--not just for this, but for all of your help.  I do love you, you know."

"I know you do, Olivia.  I love you too.  Hey--I'm sorry I wasn't a better dad when I was alive.  I do miss you, you know." he says with a sad look on his face.

"I miss you too, daddy."  I reply.  Then, "Dad?  Am I going to be okay?   Should I stay here and stick this out or should I go?  I miss you and Mom so much!"

Dad replies:  "Stay now.  It's not your time yet--but when it is, your Mom and I are here.  We never ever forget you, Olivia.  You are precious.  Remember that."

"But I'm scared, dad." I implore--(why won't he hug me? I wonder).

"Don't be afraid.  You've got a lot to get done.  Getting the trash out was only the beginning.  Now go back in there and live your life and next time I see you, I want to hear all about what you've done.  I have to go now.  I love you.  Your Mom does too.  She'll drop by soon." says my dad.

I watch as he walks away.  Tears glide down my face.  Why didn't he stay?  So much I wanted to ask him, tell him, share with him.  But he left...again.

And then I woke up.

I do have alot to get done.  But the question is, will I have the stamina and courage and the drive to get it all done?  I sure hope so.

Loved seeing my dad in my dreams...

Hope

There is always hope.  Even on my darkest days, I find myself always clinging to hope.
Hope that things will get better.
Hope that one day I will one day have the vitality and good health that I yearn to have again.
Hope that one day all the bills I owe will be paid.
Hope that one day that all the love I carry will make its way to the special folks in my life.
Hope that one day, some how, some way I will fulfill the dreams I carry inside of me.
Hope.  There is always Hope.

All of our Hopes and Dreams are Within Reach if we only

 BELIEVE.
