I find hope in the darkest of days, and focus in the brightest. I do not judge the universe -Dalai Lama.

Have you ever wondered the whole universe was made for you? The sun, the moon, the planets, the stars, and everything else that takes turns to speak to you in its language. Every day of your life!

To watch over you, to reaffirm you, “You are not alone”. You were never alone!

I don’t take the breeze that wipes my painful tears for granted! The stars that come every night uninvited are a reminder there will always be a tomorrow!

I can sit still and be immersed in the sea. Watching the freshly made foamy waves hit the shore only to dissolve. In endless loops.

It makes me realize the abundance in the universe. The sun doesn’t stop shining brighter because it is just another day. Or the stars don’t reduce in number because nobody counts. The moon stops not showing up because of its glory.

The prosperity of nature is in the endless giving. In offering the species on earth, the best experience of living.

In the silence of our mind, the universe speaks to us.

To be able to hear, all we need is to believe in the Magnificence!

On Dec 31, 2021, one last item in my checklist blinked at me. Ah, the Coffee challenge about “New year resolution and what real problem in my life will I resolve in 2022”.

I wrote an article in the evening and managed to submit it at the last minute. I was lucky to find Ellie Jacobson online at that time and requested her to add me as a writer to the pub “Flint and Steel”. My first submission to the pub was accepted in a matter of minutes.

With only 5 minutes to 24:00. I submitted my published article to the challenge and it got accepted as the last article of the challenge.

Phew! What a way to end the year!

The year started with a sense of accomplishment.

I was not prepared for any of the pleasant surprises the new year held for me though.

The bountiful support from my fellow participants already made me feel like a winner!

And the top writer award from Medium is now history!

I expressed my thank you to the coffee times pub by submitting a second guest post to their substack newsletter.

When I submitted the article, I secretly wished to have my own newsletter someday that would adorn the subscribers’ inbox with positivity. And also help them discover the joy and beauty in their own lives.

I figured the newsletter would be something I could do for the rest of my life. With Passion. Setting my soul on fire!

But there was one problem: I didn’t know where to start.

Beware: Your secret wishes could come true

A few days later, the new coffee challenge announcement was made by Winston which was exactly about how to start our own substack newsletter and build an audience for our niche.

This has got to be the freaking universe listening to my silent wishes, I thought.

Nevertheless, that’s how “MagicBytes”, my substack newsletter was born.

Not convinced yet?

Now, as I was almost done setting up the newsletter, my ambitious self wondered: Would now be the right time to start planning my first book with a bunch of my re-affirming authentic stories?

[ Trust me, if I could write or talk about one thing uninterrupted for hours, it is Positivity.]

This time, the cosmos chose Sharing Randomly to deliver my surprise in the form of her mention.

In her article about the DEP book project, she invited me to participate.

This project expects the participating writer to commit to writing at least one story a month about the top five topics.

The surprise is that…..The first topic listed is: “Positivity”

when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it -Paulo Coelho.

As a believer who identifies herself with extreme optimism, I hope the reason for my participation in this book project is apparent by now!

I believe this is my calling to write my first book. And I want to honor it.

I want to be part of this project that I truly believe will create an amazing impact on the readers’ lives!

My love for writing comes from the urge to spread positivity and sprinkle joy in everyday life. And so I have a reason to believe my words will make all the difference!

It’s not about how much you do, but how much love you put into what you do that counts -Mother Teresa.

A word of caution: please lookout for the signs from the universe as you pick the ten writers for your first book Lady Dr. Gabriella Korosi, Vidya Sury, Collecting Smiles, and Sharing Randomly.

Hail to the Universe!!
