Synchronicity ~ being gently guided down paths, to people, places or events.

“There is no such thing as chance; and what seem to us merest accident
springs from the deepest source of destiny.” Friedrich Schiller (1759 – 1805)

A recent journey to a bookstore led me to more than I could have anticipated.

More than once, I have walked into a bookstore – and a book cover seems to shimmer or a book has literally fallen off of a shelf – getting my attention.  I intuitively know that the book is the very one I came to purchase – though I did not know it when I first entered the store.

The other day while I was in a bookstore, it was not a book, but a copy of New Horizons magazine that shimmered.  I took the magazine home and read through it, thoroughly enjoying the articles.  Towards the back of the magazine, I read a page from the editor, Andrea de Michaelis, about her downloadable audios.

The first audio listed, “Connecting with Your Angels, Guides & Teachers” caught my attention because of a comment made in the testimonial below the summary of the audio.  The customer had said how the audio had helped her in her writing.  I’m open to discovering new writing tools and inspiration, so I went to the website for more information.

At the New Horizons website, I listened to a sample of the audio.  Then I read through Andrea’s blog to see if I resonated with her writing.  After enjoying some of her articles, I then read her bio.  As I looked at her photograph, I thought, that someday I’d like to chat with her.

I then ordered and downloaded the audio file per instructions.  But as I listened to the mp3 file, the sound was off … Andrea’s voice was barely audible behind the sound of the music and wave tracks.  This didn’t seem right, as it sounded nothing like the sample.

I downloaded the file again and I played the file in two different players-with the same results.  I  decided to phone for assistance.  I explained what I was experiencing to the person who answered the phone, who to my surprise then introduced herself as Andrea.

She said that she never had a problem before; in fact the sample audio came from that file. I walked her through all the steps that I had taken.  She offered to email her brother for technical support.  But then we somehow started talking about things in general and things in common.  It was like we were two friends just having a nice chat.

I then said, “Would you like to hear the file?” and she said that she would.  I pressed play – and it played perfectly! I was amazed, and she was very happy it was working.  We both laughed that I had asked “would you like to hear the file” and we did – we both heard it perfectly.

We both sensed there was more to this than a call for help on an audio file.  We both commented on feeling like we knew each other – that there was a sense of familiarity.

I then remembered that before I made the audio purchase, I had thought that Andrea seemed like someone who would be fun to chat with… wow!

I thought back to the chain of events — from walking into the bookstore, intuitively deciding on the magazine, reading the magazine and so forth … each step intuitively leading to the next.

It’s always so amazing how easily – and quickly — the Universe can line things up when we are aligned with clear intention… often with better results than we had imagined.
