The Power of the Universe...

People say they're throwing things out to the universe all the time and seeing what happens...even I have said it a few times. In the past, I have never really known the universe to respond.

Years ago, when I was working at the CIA - the cooking one, not the espionage one, I had a few RA's that I was close with. One of them referred to himself as my RENT-a-Husband. He graduated the same year that I left the CIA. We stayed in touch for a while, but lost touch a few years ago. I knew he and his family were in Texas - I thought the San Antonio area. I tried to find him. I was never successful. He wasn't on Facebook and all the other CIA folks that were on FB didn't know his where-abouts either. I was drawing a blank.

I landed in Houston, turned on the blackberry and threw it out there to the universe and twitter that I would love to see him while here in Texas. The next morning I got a request from someone on Linked-In, and decided, since I was on there, I would be a detective...I found someone I thought was my RAH's wife. I sent a friend request which went something like this..."I'm going out on a limb here, but I'm looking for XXXXXX who's graduated from the CIA in '98 and I think you're his wife. He was my Rent A Husband and I'm in Texas and I would love to see you guys. If this makes sense, my number is XXX XXX XXXX and if not, sorry to have bothered you." Less than an hour later, there was a message on my phone. I threw it out to the universe and won. I got to reconnect with my Rent A Husband and have dinner with him both nights I was in Houston, where they're living now. It was so good to reconnect with him.

I believe in the power of the universe...I believe that good things can happen when you throw it out there...and I thank the goddess for the power of reconnection!
