Dear Cosmos...



My tango buddy and fellow picnicker, Chantal B, will confirm I cosmic ordered my perfect job in her very presence.

I was unemployed at the time and had been so for almost a year and a half. We were having one of our regular tea/coffee with tasty treat from local bakery scenarios. I believe it was close to Christmas and we were discussing the future as this time of year often makes one reflect in that way.

I munched on my treat and said, “What I really need is a job which allows me time to write in the mornings, do some kind of teaching and be creative at the same time as I love developing resources.”

Chantal heartily agreed this would be the kind of job to suit both my personality, desire to write on a more permanent basis and love of teaching.


But of course, simply sending this wish out into the cosmos was not enough.


I remember coming home after my chat with Chantal and my words still ringing like tinnitis in my ears. As I lay in bed that night I continued to reflect on my wish. In effect I suppose I developed a mantra and the power of it most certainly brought my wish into being.


As I write this post I have two positions which combine to make up that perfect job. I work for Inkhead as a creative writing tutor and also tutor students privately. These two jobs give me the opportunity to

  1. Write in the mornings
  2. Teach
  3. Create specialised resources

The concept of cosmic ordering may not be as out there as you think. Countless people use it on a daily basis for the simplest of things. I know one pain ridden friend who uses it to help her get a parking space close to any venue she has to attend. And it works every single time.

In the words of the psychic Michele Knight

Cosmic Ordering is Not a New Phenomenon

All religions give us this seed of wisdom – ‘ask and you shall receive, seek and you shall find.’
Does it matter why it works? Do not let that stop you! What have you got to lose? In all ancient cultures the initiation to become a great Magician involved embracing the understanding that the power of magic lies in the obvious. It is the simple things which create miracles.”

It does however come with a caveat: be careful what you wish for. It may make you ridiculously happy to be alive.

It certainly seems to be having that effect on me.

In the words of Goethe, “Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it!”

So naturally I'm busy working on my next order. And yes, it does involve my published books and amazing opportunities to film them.

Faetaera: A Triumvirate

  A Triumvirate Brairton’s minions slipped through a barely noticeable fissure.  The tear would close shortly.  Despite the increase in their regularity the breaches rarely stayed open very long.  To the three insidious spies, the stink of the new world was almost unbearable.  But in time the triumvirate would each become so used to it they would scarcely notice it at all.  That it poisoned them they did not know.  Brairton was not in the habit of informing his operatives of fatal consequences.  Their programming precluded any thought beyond the mission they must complete.  In this Brairton had been exact and had performed the necessary rituals himself. Each had their mission branded into their being.   They would travel together for some time but then slip off to their secret destinations one by one, never to see each other again. The threesome latched on to their individual targets and began their particular brand of individual mis...

#Review: A Storm of Swords II

A Storm of Swords II by George R R Martin After starting on the set in September last year, I’m getting through the Game of Thrones series at quite a clip now. This is no doubt due to their intriguing nature and Martin’s writing style which makes reading this collection of books so easy. So far, my favourite character in every one of the books in this series is Tyrion Lannister. I find myself rooting for him at every step on his life journey.  He works so hard to be a better man despite people’s preconceptions. When he was made The Hand in the previous book I was not at all surprised that he did a good job of it. Tyrion reminds me of some of the talented yet underrated children I’ve taught in the past. Once they were given a task which excited and involved them they relished the challenge and surpassed all expectations. Unlike my students though, Tyrion receives no praise for his efforts and achievements. Perhaps I like him so much because he almost always has his now...

Faetaera: Through The Rabbit Hole

  Larell’s heart was full to the brim.  His audience with Aurelia had been unexpected and full of wonder.  He was not surprised she was aware of his plans to send a force through to the other side.  Aurelia always knew everything going on in her world.  At times he thought he saw the weight of it bearing down upon her.  Then he wished to take her in his arms and carry her as well as the burdens she bore.  But of course he would never do this, merely imagine it.  It made him love her all the more.  She thought he did not know how she came by her information and he planned on keeping it that way.  It was the only way he knew to express his love for her without feeling foolish.   In the crystal lined chamber he felt her load more palpably than usual.   He knew it was simply his foolish love-sickness for his Queen but he let the feeling soak through him regardless.   Aurelia's lips twitched briefly as though she was...
