No amount of trying to alter her perspective or cheering her helps. Mind over matter is hugely important and it works, it will take us a long way towards our goals. You will be familiar with the concept of ‘cosmic ordering’ many people have taken up the practice. The idea is to write down a list of things we wish the universe to deliver and it will. We could just as easily ask our angel or go to the prime source and pray! We are tuning in to the great universal energy, many names will be given to this cosmic force, different cultures and different religions will have their own ideas as to what this energy is. It all comes down to believe and receive.

I am a great believer in synchronicity, or coincidence. I find the concept fascinating because it happens to every one of us at some time in our lives. It is also true the more if we look optimistically for a message, the coincidences will happen more and more frequently. I do believe these amazing events are engineered from above and are sign- posts for us to follow. Let m tell you the true story of a lady who had just married for the second time. She and her new husband were about to leave England intending to start a new life in the United States of America. There was one great sadness however, her first marriage had ended when they were both young. There had been bitterness ensuing after the split She told her new husband that her dearest wish would be to see her first husband, tell him her plans and say goodbye with an easy mind. His reply was to forget it, how unlikely is that since you have had no contact for the past eight years and he works abroad. Never the less, this lady was an eternal optimist and replied that she would ask the angels to help. Trying not to laugh, her husband just smiled fondly.

The day arrived for their departure to begin their new life. Waiting at the airport for their flight to be indicated on the board, the lady decided to take a stroll around the airport shops. Imagine her astonishment when she literally bumped into her ex husband in one of the shops! It emerged that he had flown into London for just a few hours for a business meeting and was about to board his plane for home in Sweden. He had not in fact been in England for several years. They chatted, forgave each other and parted with a lovely hug and wishing each other the very best in life. What were the chances of that happening I ask you, in a crowded Heathrow Airport with split second timing. The lady was not at all surprised however, she told her dumbfounded husband that the angels had worked their magic!

You may find this story rare and unusual but in fact all my books contain several amazing stories of synchronicity, many simply spectacular. There are many ways we can become more optimistic in outlook and asking the angels for help is just one of them. I am also a great believer in signs all essentially at just the right time .I was feeling particularly low in spirits recently when I had to face an emotional challenge and spent a sleepless night worrying about it. The following morning at day- break I finally gave up on sleep and crawled downstairs to my kitchen intent on making a cup of tea .I told myself I must practice what I preach in my workshops, to be optimistic and ask for a little help from above. Taking my cup of tea into the lounge I asked aloud for a sign that all would be well. I opened the drapes and there is the sky was an astonishing double rainbow!  Due to the position of my house rainbows never appear behind the property. I have lived in the same house for many years and have never seen a rainbow in that location. It was not raining and the sun had not yet risen! I knew it was my answer, all would be well. I said a heart-felt thank you and am pleased to report that indeed all was well!

Angels may deliver a message from the realms of glory,

Or they may work unsung, unseen

in ways we can only begin to think about.
