On the MARC train to my television job, and my eyes are wet and heart thumping. You may have an Angel who intervenes for you at crucial moments. Or you may be one, getting paid in kind at those moments for what you do for others.
So…I got chills and tears welled up in my eyes while reading this. You have certainly lived a charmed life and now that u think about it, so have/am I. Isn’t it amazing the things that can happen with a bit of luck and when we follow our dreams and intuition?
I’m reading out of order as I’m several installments behind, but as a huge fan of Mrs. Doubtfire I couldn’t resist taking the time to read this one right away. I think our intentions create our serendipity and open us to connections we may otherwise not see, and I felt my own little intake of breath and excitement when the man came out of the house. And then to learn he and his wife are ‘in the biz’? No coincidences!
I love reading that the appearance of Jules coming out of the house actually caught your breath! And yes, sometimes there's a path there even if we can't see it 😊
Such a good visible, palpable story, Kristin. Good on you, and Steve, and Jules and kudos to those two kids. We wanted to be sure our first separation made 3 the kids a priority and then postponed the divorce for another 15 years until they were out of the house. A different story for another time.
Thanks, Kristin. Sharing values, beliefs and actions is what creates a community.
It is said that this phrase is attributed to an Igbo and Yoruba proverb "It takes a village to raise a child". The origin of the popular saying is a mystery. Some people believe the saying originated in an ancient African proverb; others believe it came from a Native American Tribe. What I say is that it takes a child to raise a village.

Now I'm the one with the wet eyes. Thank you so much for these lovely words, Stephen.
I may just frame them and keep them close by so I can reread when I'm having a tough day 💙💙

Aww, it's nice to hear your reactions, thanks, Ellie ☺️
It has been a charmed life, but one with a lot of broken glass in it, too.
But as you say, following our intuition can help us through the shards.
Kristen, just wanted to say again that I'm really enjoying this series. Following closely along. As always, thanks for sharing. - Jim
That means a lot to me, Jim, thank you for reading!
I know it's quite different from the genre you write in, so I very much appreciate hearing your thoughts ☺️ Kristin
Wow! Sometimes your life sounds like a movie!
It certainly feels like one at times! 😆

Right?! How crazy unexpected was that!

In a positive way indeed--just incredible how things "work out" sometimes;)
Yes, they do!
And despite all the roadblocks, potholes and heartaches still to come in this story, that will continue to happen 😊
This brought tears to my eyes. And I have no doubt that visualizing your life there with your kids helped in some way. . . :)
Aww, thanks Rebecca! I take that as a positive reaction. Not that I want to make you cry, but I'm happy if it touched you emotionally 🥰

Thanks very much for reading, Gary, and for your positive feedback.
Happy to hear you can relate to this story and that we share similar priorities! ☺️

I hadn't thought of it that way, but I love that inversion!
Thanks....more evidence of "From Both Sides Now"
