Synchronicity.

In my story 'White Balloons' I talk of amazing occurrences - things that happen simultaneously - but not by chance. They are not coincidences; they are much more than that. They are meaningful, and blow your mind when you realize them.

I have had so many of these moments throughout my journey ... and this week I had another one. I wont go into much detail.

A friend suggested that I may like to become a member of a circle ... of like minded women, who are about empowering others in the world. I was honored to be asked, but first I had to send a brief  description of myself to a woman who is part of the group.

Expressing myself comes easy to me now, and simply flows from my heart ... I sent off an email, and a day later a reply came. I started to read the message, and I felt an instant connection with this woman. The feeling of it rose from my soul and brought tears to my eyes. I knew straightaway that we were headed in the same direction ...

She warmly invited me into the 'Circle', and said that she could'nt wait to read my book. She also suggested that I may like to look at a video on her website.

I did, and was astounded to find that it was to do with loss and grief. And about how in western culture, we avoid these subjects(that go hand in hand), and are not encouraged to talk about our true feelings!

It fitted in perfectly with what I believe, and was behind me putting my personal story out there ... in the hope that many others would relate to it, and address the emotions in themselves.

I haven't joined the group at this stage - and maybe I dont need to, because ... in my own way I am encouraging others to find power and peace within. And in a similar way, this beautiful woman Michele is doing the same. We were meant to be linked ... I have no doubt of that ...
