The “Recession of 2009″ or whatever we’re calling it has hit home. My boyfriend was let go from his job yesterday. Yes, this is a setback and it’s a terrible situation to be in, but he will be fine and we’re are looking ahead to a better future. It’s been a rough couple of days. The feeling that one if us isn’t working is just starting to kick in. It’s sad and frustrating, but he is incredibly talented and I know he will go on to do amazing things. My thoughts go out to all of my co-workers who were unexpectedly let go. And to everyone out there who has been hit with this recession in some form or another. I hope for the best and I know we will all come out of this stronger.

Notes From the Universe
David, have you been leaning on me lately?
A lot?
For absolutely EVERYTHING?
Day and night, rain or shine, Gummi Bears or Gucci?
Just checkin' -
The Universe
Too often, David, the only difference between HAVE and HAVE NOT depends on whether or not the initial request was followed by a thank you, yee-haa, and action, rather than a question mark, timidity, and TV.
Don't ask. Give thanks. Bust a move.

The Universe
A flower doesn't turn toward the sun because it needs to, but because it wants to, and so the process is effortless and joyful.
All things considered, David, what do you WANT?
The Universe
Actually, David, it's not that most people don't have much, and they just want a little.
It's that they have it all, and they just want a little.
You too.
Oh my -
The Universe
You do realize, David, that your batting average is 100% when it comes to prevailing in adversity, setbacks, challenges, and recessions?
No wonder you're so famous here.
Mwah, baby -
The Universe
These are the times, David, when hopes are dashed and chaos abounds, that golden opportunities, prized ideas, and new friends emerge into the view of all, but are only seen by the few who look.
Let's go crazy,
The Universe
When you visualize a great dream of yours coming true, David, what do you imagine?
Do you see yourself jumping up and down, doing the happy dance, looking to the sky, and shrieking, "THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!"? Can you feel the skin on your face stretch as you smile from ear to ear, or the palm of your hands sting as you slap more high-fives? Can you feel the phone in your hand as you dial your best friends?
Yeah, I think you should.
"Very should,"
The Universe
Just thought you should know, David, you're one of my favorite people of all time.
Shhhhh -
The Universe
Ever notice how, when someone dreams of happiness, abundance, health, romance, or friendship, they never have to wonder if it's in their best interest?
But when someone dreams of a specific house, employer, love interest, deadline, dollar amount, or diet fad, they often end up contradicting themselves?
Keep your "end results" general, . Everything else is just a how.
To the big picture,
The Universe
David, the Chinese say, "The best time to plant a tree was always 20 years ago. The second best time is always today."
Funny how planting trees and taking action on the life of your dreams are the same that way.
The Universe
