Synchronicity or simply against the odds...

I always look for the connection...sometimes it's true synchronicity (without a doubt) and sometimes, well perhaps, just a probability in my favor.

But I've been trying to calculate the odds of this...

I had decided to rent out my house for the next year in order to travel along the coastal states (specifically Florida, Annapolis, and San Diego/San Francisco) month-to-month and spend time developing sales contacts and being closer to my customers. I found a real estate agent who had a listing in my area on rentclicks and decided to contact her about my options. We met...and when I told her what I was doing and why, she had some amazing contacts in my industry and is connected with some amazing folks. We seemed to connect. She sent me a contact of a friend who was looking for a position, and when he called, we also seemed to connect - and he not only knew about my industry, but also knew specific people, and customers (all on the coastal states) that we have been working with over the last two years. We were also at the same boatshow two years ago. Now, ordinarily, that wouldn't be so extraordinary except that we both live in Austin - a very landlocked city, and my industry is in marine and very coastal in nature.

To make the connection even more personal, when my agent came to take photos of my house for the listing, she saw some of my paintings (that I do simply as a creative expression for myself and have never sold one). She said my paintings resonated with her and bought one on the spot. My first and only sale since I don't paint for profit, but rather for my soul and balance.

So synchronicity? Soul connection? Confirmation that I'm on my destined path? I'm not sure, but I enjoyed the unfolding of recent events...and yes, I definitely believe in the mystery of LIFE. Where the next year will take me is like a breath - each experience - newly inhaled, held for a time to nourish my soul, then letting it flow to nourish another. Breath to Breath, the journey continues.
