Through research I have come to understand the universe will, in fact, yield to your will. Since realizing this I have put together in my mind a sequence of events that turned out to be a hope I expressed years ago.

In my late twenties I was more concerned with raising my kids than having a full time job.

During school hours I would often watch “What Not To Wear” on TLC and dream of one day owning clothes that didn’t have previous owners.  Times were tough and when it came to a choice of new clothes or paying bills, the bills took precedence.

I told the family that I wanted to be on that show. We’d all chuckle because none of us are the high maintenance Hollywood Types.  A new pair of jeans and we’re happier than a pig in shit, we dress up once or twice a year.  The point is they didn’t take me seriously.

FFWD 5 or 6 years

My oldest daughter was living in a complex where a lady lived that owned a 9 year old lab.  I was warned to keep our dogs away from her dog.  I felt a spark of excitement when I found out he had a fear of other dogs because of things that happened in the past.

Right away I introduced myself and told her I wanted to get the dogs together one day.

“Oh that will never happen” she was so sure.

Within a couple of weeks we were strolling along the river with her dog and my three.  She was overcome with gratitude and assured me that a good deed  doesn’t go unnoticed.  I was just happy to make a new friend that had a dog.  She went as far as to say that I was like Ceasar Milan, The Dog Whisperer, to her.

In the past months she had the chance to go shopping and called me over to her place.  She had bags and bags of brand new, stylish clothes that apparently didn’t fit her or she decided she didn’t like.

So it came to be that I got what I wanted because I announced it and let the future events play out and allowing the wish to be granted.
