A "by chance" Coffee Shop Meeting
I had the most amazing time one afternoon as I sat in my favorite coffee shop, Java Jo's, in Berlin, Ohio. I come in to enjoy the atmosphere while I read my emails, put together proposals, prepare for my coaching clients....etc. I had noticed this beautiful young woman with this gorgeous long hair who was having coffee with a friend. She was there every day that I came in after that first Sunday after noon and I assumed she was from our area. After a few days, of seeing here there and watching her, I made conversation with her to find that she is not only beautiful and elegant but intelligent, accomplished and very articulate!!! She shared with me that she was from Canada and I believe she said she had already completed her Ph.D. in Psychology but she is back in Medical School now at the University of Ottawa...to become a medical doctor...I was so taken by her beautiful spirit, a sense of calmness and assurance of who she is and where she is going. I wanted to talk with her the next few days but came in at a different time each day and didn't see her again. But, she is one of those people that one meets along life's journey that truly stands out and leaves an impact. I think I will see SANDRA from Canada again one day!!! Perhaps, during a workshop or speaking engagement or...in a coffee shop somewhere in Canada or who knows...in Berlin, Ohio?!! I think that just as life is not an accident, the ones we meet along the way are not just "accidents" either...it is an act of design...the purpose may be just for that meeting, to bless or be blessed by someone, or the purpose may be a future endeavor...life is amazing that way, isn't it? So to Sandra, wherever you are, IT WAS A PLEASURE MEETING YOU!!

Jayne,
I don't think my finding you is a coincidence either. It has been so many years since we have seen each other. The Internet is a wonderful thing in tracking down long lost friends!
Love you,
Debbie
Jayne,
I am in agreement events in our life are not "by accident". There is a book by Squire Rushnell intitled "when God winks" about How the Power of Coincidence Guides Your Life. Events the happen and people we meet as we journey through life all have a purpose of some sort. It is up to us to figure them out.
Your PWN sister,
