Miracles happen every moment of every day, but only
appear to those who are open to receive them.
Have you experienced times in your life when the exact
thing you wanted showed up unexpectedly? A friend appeared when you needed him
or her the most. Or you desperately wish for something and it emerges out of
the blue. This happened to me over the weekend when my windshield wiper split
apart while I was driving in a heavy rain. I wished for an auto parts store and
one appeared in the next bend.
You can consider these incidents sheer luck or random
coincidence, or you can look for a deeper meaning. Deepak Chopra writes about coincidences
in his bestselling book, The Spontaneous Fulfillment of Desire. Chopra
says, “When you live your life with an appreciation of coincidences and their
meanings, you connect with the underlying field of infinite possibilities. This
is when the magic begins!”
When you look for deeper meaning and give gratitude
for the magic that occurs in your life, these experiences begin to occur more
frequently. C.G. Jung coined these phenomena as ‘synchronicity,’ or “the
coincidental occurrence of events that can’t be explained by conventional
mechanisms.”
I touch on synchronicity in my contemporary romance, Restart
in Bristol. Below is a brief excerpt:
Deep in thought, Holly sank onto the sofa in the hotel’s
lobby. She wondered if fate had brought her to Chicago or if it was a
coincidence that Nora had asked for Holly’s help with a rescue cow at the same
time Davey had asked for Curtis’ help testing cars.
Last night, Skye had suggested the answer was obvious. But
she wasn’t the best person to ask because she didn’t believe in coincidence.
According to Skye everything—the good, the bad, the ugly—happens for a
reason. Even though Holly wasn’t completely sold on Skye’s philosophy, she had
to admit it was a little fluky that she and Curtis had ended up in the same
city at the same time.
The next time one of these unexpected coincidences
occur in your life, ponder whether it was a random event, or if it was a small miracle
in your life. Better yet, begin looking for—and expecting—ongoing miracles!
