“Rise up this morning, smiled with the rising sun
Three little birds pitch by my doorstep Singing sweet songs of melodies pure and true Saying, "This is my message to you-ou-ou"
Singing, "Don't worry about a thing
'Cause every little thing gonna be alright" Singing, "Don't worry about a thing" (Don't worry) "'Cause every little thing gonna be alright.”
- Bob Marley Whether or not he was a prophet, there is no question that Marley’s lyrics have inspired, motivated, and brought happiness and love to many people. I often found myself singing and humming these lyrics while walking to and from the pool, despite rarely hearing any Marley music at the resort. Great lyrics to keep in your mind to recall whenever you are feeling a little stressed, or things aren’t going your way; you will immediately feel a little lighter after singing the chorus in your head. Music is magic. Note: You might have noticed that there was no Daily Note yesterday—a January 2nd travel day got me again, and I felt perfectly fine with not hitting publish tomorrow. I told Ang in the Orlando airport during our layover on the way home that I’m always going to skip January 2nd, even when we aren’t traveling, just as a nod to how two of the first three years of writing missed a January 2nd Note.

“You are sought after if you reflect love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control” - John Marks Templeton, Week Two, Law A As I read today’s passage in Templeton’s Discovering The Laws of Life, I couldn’t help but see connections between Week Two, Law A’s message, and some of my recent Notes. It’s funny how the Universe pulls me towards these passages to share in my Notes; I decided today that I’d check out Discovering The Laws of Life, and...
Happy New Year!! I hope you are having a great start to the new year!! We rang in 2025 in Jamaica for what I believe will be our last warm weather New Year's Eve for a while; Roman will be in high school next year, and his basketball schedule will inevitably prevent us from escaping to the warmth for the end of the year. Our end-of-the-year trip is my favorite trip because I can fully enjoy the warm weather, being in the sun, the sounds of the ocean, and being present with Ang and the boys...
This morning, I was thinking about the two bald eagles I saw on Friday, and I can’t help but believe that most people driving along 116th St. in Fishers did not see the two massive birds hanging out and flying around. I could have missed seeing them had I been distracted by my phone, other thoughts, or even changing songs on the radio. There is no shortage of distractions today, which might keep you from receiving important messages from the Universe—you might be missing your bald eagles...
