Today’s post is the eighth in a 10-part series involving serendipitous and mysterious events and occurrences involving the date of Nov. 14th (the same date my mother died). These posts will be categorized as events that happened before Nov. 14, the day of Nov. 14th, and after Nov. 14, 2013. Enjoy!
There’s a theory that once you are aware of something, it seems to show up everywhere. For instance, once you buy a particular model car or a new jacket, you begin to see it popping up everywhere. Maybe that’s the case here. Maybe it’s just coincidence I’m becoming more aware of Nov. 14th occurrences because of my mother’s death.
In this eighth post of serendipitous occurrences after Nov. 14th, I’ll be sharing some snidbits of events and you can be the judge if they’re just “coincidental” or not. Next week, I’ll share one last “coincidence” that really blew my mind.
At the Viewing in St. Thomas, VI
On Nov. 27th, a few days before my mother’s funeral, I found out at the viewing, that Nov. 14th was the birthday of one of my favorite cousins that I hadn’t seen in many years. I remember when I was younger and used to go back to Antigua every summer, we would spend time playing basketball and going to the beach. How coincidental is that?
At a Tybro Workshop in Charlotte, NC
Right after my mother’s funeral on Nov. 29th, I left St. Thomas to attend the Connecting with Divine Creative Forces workshop on Nov. 30th put on by Dr. Mitchell and Cathy Gibson, founders of Tybro. I hadn’t seen Dr. Gibson since 2002 when we both used to work at the Astrological Institute in Scottsdale, AZ. Since then, he had gotten married and I was able to meet his wife for the first time at the event. As fate would have it, they both shared a touching story about her brother that had recently passed away. Needless to say, my jaw dropped when she mentioned that the funeral was held on Nov. 14th!
On Skype with A Friend in Mexico
I have a good friend that I met in Mexico at a Vipassana retreat back in 2009. Although she is originally from India and I am from North America, we have a lot in common as English teachers and long-time Vipassana meditators (not to mention our birthdays are only 4 days apart). I still remember her response back in March when I shared with her about my mother’s death and all the serendipitous incidents around the date on Nov. 14th. She listened intently and replied, “Well guess what? This is really going to blow your mind because my mother’s birthday is Nov. 14th!”
At the 25th Bioneers Conference in San Rafael, CA
The last and most recent “coincidence” took place at the 25th Bioneers Conference a few weeks ago. I had a chance to reconnect with one of the conference presenters, Caroline Casey, who I originally met at a United Astrology Conference (UAC) back in 2002. I was sending her greetings from a mutual friend and astrologer, Tuere Cheka and telling her about my book Afraid of Our Own Shadow. That’s when she introduced me to the woman next to her sharing how she was involved in similar work. When I heard her name, China Galland, I immediately remembered hearing her talk on a Healing Racism as a Spiritual Practice panel on the Inspiring Women’s Summit back in June.
Now here are two things that are even more coincidental. The first is that I was so inspired by her Resurrecting Love film project, I emailed her after the summit in June to commend her and even put a link to her site on my resource page. The second is that as we were talking, I happened to mention the 10-Month Manifest Your Desire Campaign that I was currently undertaking in honor of my mother who recently died on Nov. 14th. Well, when she shared with me that her mother died on Nov. 14th, 2010 I was too through! Until next time!
