When the Universe Whispers “Maybe”

When the Universe Whispers “Maybe”

🌼 Date: Wednesday, January 14, 2026

⚡ Energy: Quietly hopeful.

💔 Status: Grief still present — but something new might be forming.

🤗 Outlook: Two good things on the horizon goes a long way.

Today brought something unexpected — the kind of moment that makes you stop and wonder if the universe is nudging you instead of shouting.

We came across a post on Facebook from a man whose aunt has cancer. She’s no longer able to care for her Yorkie puppy and asked him to help find her a new home.

The puppy’s name is Lola.
She’s 12 weeks old.

I sent him a private message and shared that I’m also battling cancer right now. And I told him something else — that my red, spicy wig is named Lolita, Lola for short, courtesy of my husband.

Coincidence?
Maybe.

But it sure made me pause.

I asked where he was located, and when he replied Eugene, my eyebrows went up. That’s only about two and a half hours from us. Not across the state. Not impossible. Just… doable.

We talked more and decided to meet halfway. We found a park in Keizer, where Gidget and Lola can meet and see how they do together. If Gidge gives her approval? Then it’s a go.

No pressure.
No rushing.
Just seeing what feels right.

Suddenly, I have something to look forward to this weekend — something light, something hopeful, something that isn’t about appointments or wounds or waiting.

And then there’s Friday.

I’m planning to stop by work during the drivers’ midday and wave them out as they head off on their afternoon routes. I miss that more than I realized. The people. The routine. The simple act of showing up and being seen.

So now I have two good things ahead of me.

Sometimes excitement doesn’t show up loud and flashy. Sometimes it tiptoes in and says, hey… maybe this is something.

And for today, maybe is enough.
