Chapter 1: The Universe's Subtle Push

At times, it feels as if the Universe gives us a gentle nudge, especially when life's course takes an unexpected turn.

For a long period, I believed I was under a bad spell. Misfortunes appeared to follow me relentlessly. Just when I thought I was experiencing a positive shift, something negative would occur, preventing me from truly advancing or enjoying life. Despite my efforts, I found myself stuck in a cycle of stagnation. While my emotional growth was evident, my external circumstances remained unchanged, keeping me in a constant state of financial, career, and relational dissatisfaction.

For instance, the moment I began to see a financial improvement and was ready to pay off my credit card debt, my car broke down, requiring nearly $2000 in repairs. Similarly, after a legal victory regarding custody, I faced the heartbreak of losing a cherished relationship. It felt as though life ensured that even in moments of joy, I could never fully embrace happiness due to the looming negativity.

These situations are just a couple of examples, but they encapsulate a pattern that has persisted throughout my life, from minor inconveniences to significant setbacks.

I wasn't always this cynical, but my experiences have led me to believe this was my destiny—until now.

While a part of me should feel apprehensive about my history of unfortunate events coinciding with positive occurrences, something feels different this time. It seems as though the Universe is intervening, pushing back against my resistance and affirming, “Enough is enough. We are here to guide you, regardless of your reluctance.”

This feeling is surreal.

For years, I struggled to return to teaching in my local school district after taking time off to care for my children. Losing my professional references made re-entry impossible. I explored various independent roles, but unexpectedly, a few months ago, I received a call from the human resources department at the school. The representative inquired if I was still interested in teaching, to which I eagerly responded, “Yes.”

Due to a staffing shortage, they had relaxed reference requirements, allowing personal references as substitutes. I quickly reapplied but was met with another rejection; my references were deemed unsuitable. Disheartened, I resigned myself to my situation.

A couple of weeks later, while meditating, my phone rang. I ignored it, allowing it to go to voicemail. When I checked afterward, it was another message from the school district, asking me to call back if I was still interested. Knowing my references were insufficient, I hesitated to respond. This cycle of denial since my divorce in 2009 had taken a toll on my spirit.

Feeling defeated, I nearly dismissed the opportunity until another voicemail arrived two days later. The caller mentioned she could assist with my application. Despite my reluctance, I reached out, explaining my reference dilemma. To my surprise, she revealed a workaround: I could list my personal contacts as “personal references” on the application.

Taking a leap of faith, I followed her advice. Within a week, my references were contacted, and soon after, my application was approved. After thirteen long years of setbacks, I am finally back in the school district. It seems the Universe had intervened when I had given up hope.

Financially, times have been tough. On my second day in the new teaching role, a colleague asked about a car adorned with a Faerie sticker—my car. I expressed my love for Faeries, and he mentioned his late mother had a vast collection of Faerie items that he was willing to give me. Naturally, I accepted.

When we met, I was astonished to find several boxes filled with not just a few items, but over 100 well-preserved antiques, many of which were limited editions. Among them were figurines, music boxes, and collectible plates, some of which were valued at over $130. Though I plan to keep a few treasured pieces, I intend to sell many others, sensing this as a serendipitous gift from the Universe.

Despite my car breaking down again, I was relieved when the repair shop informed me that they would cover the cost since it was linked to a prior issue.

While I hope sharing this won’t jinx my newfound luck, I genuinely feel a shift occurring. It seems the Universe is stepping in to assist me, even against my own doubts and negativity.

Has anyone else experienced such a transformation? Thank you for reading.
