Arianna believes in 7 African powers, incense, connection to saints, the lighting of candles while one prays, etc. . I strongly believe in superstition...

But i didn't have the right candles so i lit a spicy tea candle instead... I guess that works right. Others have belief in kharma or dharma whatever. Clap your hands if you believe in fairy? You know all these but, honestly do you think my tea candles helped Ari in her time of need because i (and her) believed it would or am i being a silly little girl believing in fairy tales?
And in return did her "prayer" candles really help me whilst scrapping up rent? hmmm......
Have you ever seen the movie "Push"? Dakota Fanning's character is a psychic using her drawings to tell the future. Lately i have taken this as an example and have been drawing out my goals (for a clearer view of the finish line i guess). But when you draw an impossible computer with an impossible operating system that is frozen in time forever on your mirror... AND THEN find that same computer with said impossibilities lying on your bed with frozen screen problems.... WELL you have to start to wonder whether this believing thing has something behind it!
Last Note to leave you with: "KEEP TO THE BELLY AND NOT TO EYE!... rent & sushi is all i need to get by" -journal entry 10.14th . I'd rather be like Lao Tsu...
