Sometimes I need to make statements to the universe to affirm what I want the universe to bring me, whether it be money, love, a career or any other material objects.

"Attention, Universe! I want a loving relationship with an attractive man in a high income bracket who has worked through most of his issues in or out of therapy and who doesn't mind spending the occasional holiday with highly dysfunctional in-laws!"

Making statements to the universe allows me to practice thinking about what I want.

"Attention, Universe! Please deliver me a career that allows me to have my own schedule, make lots of money, and make use of my many creative talents!"

What I have learned through various chanellers is that it is my job to ASK the universe for what I want, it's the Universe's job to DELIVER the goods, and then it is my job (again) to RECEIVE.

"Attention, Universe! This is the last request for now. Please lead my family into a very skilled, loving therapists' office so that they can learn to love each other and have more fulfilling lives!"

Just for today, I can ask the Universe for what I need.
