Synchronicities are usually pretty neat. Thinking of someone and finding an email in your inbox from them. Having something on your mind and then getting a newsletter with something in it that addresses that. The other day I saw a red Maserati twice on the same street, going in the same direction, on the same day but hours apart. Two traffic lights were out in two different places. I should have played the lottery! I love those kind of woo-woo moments. But in one week's time, three men connected to my husband's business were in the news. One was arrested, one was missing in Colorado in a snowstorm and one was missing locally. I'm not sure what that means, other than I was starting to get a little nervous. The snowbound guy was found and is doing fine, but unfortunately the other guy was not.
As my new book about a woman being stalked was about to come out, a local woman disappeared from her home, leaving two children alone in the house. The story could have been one I'd made up, but sadly it was real. She made some cell phone calls to get help, but by the time the police nabbed the guy, she was already dead. The weird thing is, he had no connection to her except the tiniest thread: he had been behind her in line at the post office. How creepy is that? You get stamps and die because you just happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time.
One book every woman and especially every teenage girl should read is Gavin DeBecker's Gift of Fear. Men, too, can benefit from its advice on the people who come into our lives. Gavin teaches us to pay attention to our instincts and what to look for in the people around us. He makes an excellent point: we are the only animals who talk ourselves out of our instinctual warnings. Women are raised to be nice and polite and women are brutalized much more than men are.
Thoughts to ponder! I wish you all a great woo-woo moment today.
Cheers,
Tina
