You know it really doens't matter what path you follow, or how 'religion' interjects into it, you will ALWAYS find some version of this quote/saying.

I put this into angels because it is thru the actions of a higher being, your Self, and how it interacts with even higher 'powers' that lead to the fullfilment of this saying.

Now, as many of you who know me know, you'd think I know full well about 'being careful what you ask/wish for' thing, but nooooooooooo Novia has momentary lapses in brain function, aka brainfart moments, where she opens her mouth/heart, and puts it out there! � � �

This doesn't by any means have to be some grand life changing thing either.

Case in point and reason behind this whole Babble On moment! �

Yesterday at work I was sooooooooooooooooooo tired I thought I was gonna just pass out on my desk. I made comment, to the Universe, moreover any one, that I needed something to wake me up, that or just let me take a nap! Well being at work, nap not an option, wake me up, oh that it did.! We have an alarm system that is used for people who might wnader off, they are called Wanderguards, little electronic doohickeys that trigger the alarm to go off, if one passes too near the sensor above the front door I monitor. Well, the Universe being as helpful as it is, decided to tweek the setting on this infernal contraption to 'keep her ass awake' by going off everytime any elctronic gizmo passed too near! � Cell phones, electronic car keys/alarm doowhatzies, you name it, it set off the damn alarm. Now, when this happens I have to get up, go round the corner, out the first set of doors, into the foyer, and punch in the alarm code to shut if off, not to mention the earsplitting noise it makes when it goes off to begin with!!! For the last 2 hours of my day, I dealt with this thing!! The maintance guy fianlly, as I left, just pointed the sensor bar to the ceiling so unless spiderman came to visit, it shouldn't go off. Well first time, he did this, it wasn't high enough and it still went off, so he had to aim it directly AT the ceiling to shut it up. He was dumbfounded, never had that happen before. Hell, he was even checking the plants to make sure some smart ass hadn't hid a wanderguard in them to set it off.

So lesson of the day, even the incidental askings/wishing, will most likely be granted, like it or not!!! �(poof)

I know there are alot of you wondering then why hasn't mine been granted.

Here's a thought to think on, ask more I'll elaborate if you like.

HOW are you asking? (There is a difference between asking for THIS, while putting all your energy on THAT.) �(clue)

Didn't you go through something similar with a recent post about a job decision (clue) ? I'm actually a little envious- I wish the universe would answer my requests as quickly  

Now would be a good time to ask for financial security...hee, hee.

SM my luck they'd just lock the bank doors! LOL

Ok, adding to the asking saga, LOL.

I'm wanting to paint the backsplash in my kitchen. I'm wanting 'color!' without it being COLOR!!!!!!!!!

Yellow, but not YELLOOOOOOW!!!!! All's I can thing is muted banana.

I can see myself standing in front of the little paintships without the possibility of all that IS Divine of being able to visualize any of them on my wall!

So, I get on a website of a paint type I know Lowe's carries. Valspar. Explore colors, Nature colors, oh look!!! There's a paint the room thing on the page, a kitcheny looking room/cabinets/walls. The colors set up already, oh look yellowy colors, with off white. (My cabinets/trim of of white! ) Make the trim and cabinets my colors, Oh look! A dark greenish yellow, somewhat muted!!! Spring Moss!!! Make the short wall in the picture the dark yellow/green and before me lies, MY color palette dream!    

Ok guys, what do I do with this? :

Print it, anoint it and post it with a few witchy words on one of your cabinets!

Okay Novia if this works, I want to talk to you about helping me make a wish come true!  

That's just it, I merely ask, nothing more. I likes simple!!!

If only it were that simple for all of us!  (thinking) I wouldn't be in the predicament that I'm in here with Derek. But I guess some things can't be cured by asking, I guess they have to throw in some life lessons too. Darn lessons!

Who would we be, REALLY, without those trials we've been through? :roll:

Ordinary people, who were all the same. Boring!!! I thank the Goddess for all the lessons and trials she has put me through so far. Even if I don't like them, because I like who I have turned out as and all the stuff I have learned along the way. It's made me wiser, and more cautious in some aspects of my life. She has also kept me on my toes!

Same here!  I really believe that I'm a better person for all the "spice" in my life.  I've had a few nasty trials, I still go through them...some of them will continue on for a while.  But, when I look back on who I WAS before the trials, I like myself better as a person now because of what I've learned through it all.  The Goddess knows how to throw a hard ball, we just have to know how to send it out of the ballpark.

That or have a really BIG catchers mitt!!!!

hey, I know all too well about trials. We all have our share.

Icy you are a gem!!!

The only problem with the mit or the bat is be careful not to miss!  

Has anyone thought of what might happen if we "pooled" our resources....the spiritual ones....to help one another, say to set aside a time, even just half an hour where we might all throw our positive energies together. Who knows what we might be  able to achieve?
