The other day I was having a conversation with Chris about my mother. And I put it out there into the universe, I asked how could I have a better relationship with her. Because I really want to be closer to her. And I came to the conclusion that I was already doing everything I could, and that a healthier relationship for us was largely dependent on her.

And then today something really unexpected happened. She called me (she’s in California) and we had a really long talk about all sorts of nonsense, nothing particularly deep or important. And then she did something incredibly generous and thoughtful and very fucking cool. And after I got off the phone with her I couldn’t help thinking that just maybe my request was somehow answered. And I’ve been doing this a lot lately and it’s been working, just putting it out there what I need. Maybe it’s a coincidence, but maybe the lesson is that I need to set intentions. Because up until now all I’ve done is fret and get stressed out and nothing happened. 

Anyway she made me really fucking happy today and I feel super grateful.
