Dear Reader,
Book club reader Shirley asked...
"Suzanne, every time I read your morning column, I have a desire to reply. Today I am giving in to this feeling. Of all the topics I have read, I've never heard you mention coincidences in your life. I have experienced so many in my 92 years of living, that I think I could write a book. I enjoy our morning read, and because I live on the west coast (Vancouver Island) I often read the next day's column the night before."
(Suzanne replies:)
"How did it happen?" someone might ask.
"Well, I don't really know. One thing just led to another..."
But the truth is I do know. Because when I take the time to look back at the string of events leading up to a "coincidence" in my life, I realize that for me, coincidences are all about choices. Cause and effect; tallying up the choices I've made along the way. Saying "yes" or "no" to opportunities, even little things. Every decision I made led me to one of life's strange little coincidences.
I really believe I know the best choices for my life. The answers are tucked away inside of me, if I'd only listen. So I spend a lot of time trying to connect the loose wires in my brain. Because when I stay-the-course and really listen, then those wonderful coincidences show up in my life.
Thanks for reading with me. It's so good to read with friends.
