The Universe Answers
Written by Deborah Jordaan Good day to our loyal readers. Today I`m writing on the subject of, “ What we send out in thought, Manifests. “ The universe is always listening and answering us in ways we might not know or see but as I call it – Signs along the way are there, we just need to observe. Asking the universe for things to happen in our lives is not bad at all but as with everything in life it comes with consequences. Here`s a scenario.
