It’s Wednesday, which means it’s time to write a post about gratitude!

Okay – now for today’s post:
Dan and I were on a telesummit yesterday for an upcoming program that we are participating in. There were 23 people on the call from all over the world, and we were all taking turns introducing ourselves. It was so interesting to “meet” everyone and learn more about them.
So many wonderful serendipitous events have occurred recently – all leading me on a path that feels like home, even though it is scary to stretch and leave my comfort zone. Almost daily I feel and see miracles that help me know that I am right where I need to be, which is so reassuring and completely necessary right now as I journey into this new world.
Yesterday’s miracle was the biggest of all.
I am still spinning and trying to wrap my brain around it.
I am so in awe of this wonderful universe and all of the gifts that it brings.
So back to the telesummit…
About five people had introduced themselves, and we were anxiously awaiting our turn.
And then the miracle happened.
One of the participants started speaking, and I recognized the voice as my long-lost best friend/brother from high school! What are the odds???
This person has always been very special to me and my family. We met because I was the exchange student liaison at my high school, and Won came from Ethiopia.
Immediately we hit it off. His positive energy and wonderful laugh were contagious. We had an instant friendship and were together often. We were theater partners, and he helped me break out of my shell and put it all out there during our performance. He was always at my house, and my Mom thought of him as her son. He became part of our family.

And then life took over. We went to different colleges and tried to keep in touch, but by then I had moved across the country, and he got married and had a sweet baby. Sadly, we lost touch. A year ago he found me on Facebook, and we caught up, which was so amazing! We knew we could never lose touch again!
I had no idea that he had joined this program. And I haven’t told anyone that I joined.
It’s complete serendipity.
We will see each other again soon for the first time in almost 20 years!
There are so many reasons why he is just perfect to reenter my life at this moment.
It’s just one more sign that I’m on the right path.
And for that I am extra grateful.
Wow! That's awesome that you reconnected in a telesummit! Truly, what are the odds!?!
I hope you'll post a new picture when you see him.
Have a wonderful day!
