Sometimes it’s hard to know why something happens – or is happening – in our lives.
- Why do we feel off?
- Why didn’t things turn out the way we had envisioned?
- Or even why are people we love having such difficulties?
I’ve been there. I once had a situation occur in my life that lasted 7 months that I was clueless about. It literally took 7 years for me to get the “aha moment” that brought the clarity of “Oh, that’s why I went through that.”
But here’s a thought that might help you if you’re currently in a situation like that. The reason why something happens is always Y.
Y for yes. Yes, the Divine is always, always, always concocting ways to push you towards happiness. And Y for yes because we should always say yes to whatever events are redirecting our path in a way that will bring us joy.
Y for yes that we should always have faith that the Universe loves us. Y for yes that we can rely on the fact that we are at some level masters of our own destinies from a big picture viewpoint even if the Universe sometimes creates situations where the details make us crazy. Y for yes, your angels are with you (have you asked for their help today?)
When the why of something is challenging you, try to move back to Y.
Because yes, the you are loved. Yes, you will understand it all in time. And yes, you are never alone.

I Cleaned Out a Closet and Found a Version of Myself I’d Forgotten
You do not want to know how many times I have moved in my life. No seriously. You wouldn’t believe me if I told you. While I know most people do not like change, I seem to love it. I tease people that as a quintuple Sagittarius, I eat change sprinkled on my Wheaties...
2025 Has Flipped Me. And I’m Grateful.
“Fascinating.” Yes, that’s “fascinating” with a period after it not an exclamation point. I grew up watching shows like Star Trek so to me… the word “fascinating” is supposed to be said curiously with one eyebrow raised like Mr. Spock. This whole year for me has been...
The Sprinter’s Spiritual Lesson
Looking back, I cannot recall a time where my life has been so much about learning about myself. Why don’t we do this when we’re young? It would save us so much time and trouble! We could make such better choices if we were just taught to “know thyself.” One of the...
Holding Hope Without Holding on Too Tight
I have a question for you. How does one balance holding hope in your heart without also creating a powerful attachment to the outcome? Seriously, I’m asking. To me, this is a spiritual highwire act. Hope and optimism are powerful manifestors. They bring our heart’s...
The Stuff That’s Hidden
I recently got back from a visit to the city I was born and raised in. My sister and her family still reside in Knoxville, Tennessee and I hadn’t been back there in years. But one of my nieces and my nephew have been “fruitful and multiplied” so I had three babies to...
