at one point i decided my magic number would be 37. thereafter, i never made a single flight without noticing it prominently along the way.

Could be bias, could be divine. We all get to choose how to frame it.

I believe the universe whispers.. speaks.. and sometimes yells when it really wants us to know something ✨✨✨

"Proof that all of it happened" This is such a small line in the piece but such a big line in the humanity of a person. Synchronicity is Cartography of a life.

Thank you for reading.

That was the crux of the piece for me, too. I'm so glad it struck you.

Wow. That’s quite a story, Mandy. Beautifully told. The photo of your dad stopped me in my tracks. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you, Lynn! 🫶🏻

Synchronicity is fascinating; nothing is happenstance. Meaning is all around us, waiting to be noticed and deciphered. Whispers waiting to be uncovered. I'm so glad you followed your heart and reached out.

I'm not spiritual or mystical in the slightest (I know, shocker, right?) but I think finding significance in things is a deep lying root within our brains to process complex information at maybe a subliminal level.

So, maybe they did guide you but it was more you guiding yourself.

That’s a valid point.

I think both are true because I believe everything is connected.

What a wild story! Numbers have much latent power. 3. That’s mine.

Three… it’s a magic number. ❤️

Sigh… same. Blind Melon was stupidly underrated. Their version of that is the highlight of that whole alt cover album.

I knew you were cool.

Totally agree. “Change” is probably my favorite Blind Melon song.

I was a musician in the ‘90’s. I worshipped at the altar of all the good junkies.
