What started in 1998 as an email sent out weekly to 38 addresses has since blossomed into today's daily Notes from the Universe, sent to over [TOTAL_SUBSCRIBERS] subscribers in [TOTAL_COUNTRIES] countries! These Notes are brief passages written by "The Universe," personalized with your name (and occasionally your personal goals and dreams), designed to remind you that you have, indeed, been given dominion over all things.
If I told you there have been no mistakes,
that I understand every decision you've ever made,
and that the challenges you've faced, you've faced
for everyone, would you listen?
If I told you that what you dream of, I dream of for you,
that the only things "meant to be" are what you decide
upon, and that all that stands between you and the life
of your dreams are the thoughts you choose
to think, would you try to understand?
And if I told you that you are never alone,
that there are angels who sing your name in praise,
and that I couldn't possibly be any more proud of you
than I already am, would you believe me?
Would you? Even if I pulled your leg, made you blush,
and winked between the lines?
Then I shall...
The Universe
(from the Foreword of Book 1)
A NOTE FROM THE UNIVERSE sm
Every day is a good day
to do something you've never
done before.
Especially when you dream of
living like you've never
lived before.
Prepare thy way,
The Universe
Coffee through a straw
isn't quite what I meant.

"Mike Dooley's Notes from the Universe have charged my day with absolute joy more times than I can remember."
--Rhonda Byrne, creator and executive producer of The Secret.
"These emails ALWAYS bring humor, wisdom, and a sense of joy into my morning EVERY day."
"Nothing feels better than to hear someone else believe in you and tell you that you can make your world anything you want."
"I appreciate your divine reminders of who we are, what we are here for, and how much fun it can be if we allow our magnificence to shine."
"This is such powerful, positive stuff it's spinning a new world."
"I receive messages from other authors but yours are the most profound, heart-warming, every day common-sense, take it with you, mind-uplifting, and unselfish messages I've ever received."
Read hundreds of testimonials for the Notes!
If ever there was proof of magic in my life, that I now spend part of every day writing for "the Universe", is it. Not even 4 short years ago, after we closed down the last of the TUT stores and liquidated our remaining inventory, I briefly hit the pavement with my accountant's resume in hand.
Fortunately, no one was hiring (at least not me!), and fortunately again, I had enough money from our T-shirt days to coast awhile. Even more fortunately, I still had a thousand or so people looking forward to receiving my "Monday Morning Motivators" via email each week.
So I decided that as long as I didn't have to work, yet, I'd keep doing the one thing that filled me with the greatest sense of accomplishment and purpose - write. And figure out how to make it pay, later.
Talk about scary. As the months rolled by, there were plenty of nights I tossed, literally in a sweat, thinking "what am I doing with my life? How did I get here? What went wrong? What if I don't make any money at this? What if I have to sell my home? What if I can't find a job, and no one will buy my home? What if? What if? What if...?" And day after day, week after week, month after month, my reserves dwindled and nothing came in.
But I knew a trick. I knew that figuring out "the how's", wasn't really my job, it was the Universe's. I also knew to focus on the end result, the kind of life I wanted, and to get busy turning over every stone, knocking on every door, following every impulse, so that theoretically, at least, the Universe could take care of the details.
Whaaaaa! Has it ever!!! Somehow, during all the knocking and turning and visualizing, I acted on enough hunches and instincts to keep me buoyed with the necessary optimism to press on and not look back. And literally, the next thing I knew, the Adventurers Club was born, a variety of speaking opportunities arose, I produced a major audio program that now sells all over the world, and the Universe began using email. Even today, I look around and can hardly believe the reversal and rise of my good fortune.
I always knew it worked, but the thrill of experiencing it yet again, in spite of my worries, doubts, and frustrations, has been an awesome adventure; one I know everyone deserves and can experience for themselves.
If nothing else, please remember, no matter how dark things get, no matter how difficult, if you continue to do your part, the Universe has to do its part - it's the law, and things will, turn around.
To the life of your dreams,
Mike Dooley
