Unexplained mysteries

“There are no coincidences. Every event we experience and every person we meet has intentionally been put in our path to help raise our level of consciousness.” ~Cheryl Richardson

The closer we get to Halloween, the more attuned we are to all things mysterious and magical. Yet every day is full of unexpected events and near-magical “coincidences” that work to our advantage. Out of the blue, for instance, a card arrives in the mail from an old friend you’ve been missing. Or you meet a stranger in a waiting room who gives you a tip that leads to your dream job. Some might call it good luck or a wink from the universe.

Still others, like author Cheryl Richardson, believe that everything happens for a reason. Even difficult people and painful experiences can offer valuable life lessons that ultimately benefit us — if we’re willing to learn from them. ~CL
