Serendipity is the effect by which one accidentally discovers something fortunate, especially while looking for something else entirely.
You all know that I have gone out on a limb and signed up for a CrossFit Level I certification March 28-29 in Charlotte, North Carolina. I picked this particular certification because the date worked with my schedule and Charlotte is within driving distance. (I hate the hassle of flying.)
If you've followed the blog for a while, you also know that I love the artwork of Duy Huynh (pronounced yee wun). I have used images of his paintings on the blog numerous times. Besides being beautiful, many of his works speak to me about creating the life I want and making my dreams come true.
Well, I recently discovered that Duy Huynh's art gallery and studio, Lark and Key is located in Charlotte. Wow! What are the chances of that? Just a coincidence or a sign that I'm on the right track, that the road to my dreams runs through Charlotte?
I think the latter.

Uh. Don't know why that posted twice.
I recall reading a quote previously to the effect that serendipity is a powerful force, but for it to happen, we had to be looking for something else! Never quit looking or reaching for the stars! You never know when you may have a moment of "WOW"!
Maybe you will have an opportunity to meet him while in Charlotte aceing that CrossFit Level I certification. That would be awesome. We should start working on that now!
WOW! I don't believe in coincidences. This was meant to be!
I'm feeling really aggravated...I've been working on nit-picking stuff all day...on the phone with various customer service departments and other mean people. I feel like an evening of eating comfort food would make me feel better. That's just how I feel. But it will really make me feel bad...just need to remember that.
Customer service reps are mean! It's not you. Don't punish your body for their stupidness.
When you have to be nice to people who are really mean, it is difficult! I used to find that telling myself no one can make me feel anything without my permission sometimes helped. I refused to allow them to "make" me feel badly. I did not always win, but I did sometimes. As my voice got stronger, I found they won less and less!
I concur with Sheryl! Don't punish yourself because of the ignorance of others! Believe in you and quietly plot your revenge! :-) Maybe a punching bag might be in order! You could burn calories while taking out your frustration!
Pat, that is so cool, art and crossfit, sounds like a perfect combo!
And remember Pat, your "new" comfort foods, foods that make you feel good inside and out, those will make you feel the best!
King cake and ice cream sounded good until I was done. Then I wished I hadn't.
Pat C i'm with you today. I feel like I am caught up in the middle of others worlds which I have no control over. Makes me want to throw up my hands. I have a sign hanging in my condo that says (paraphrase)
Peace- it does not mean to be in a world of no noise or chaos but to be in the midst of it all and be calm in your heart.
Struggling to actually put it into practice.
Thanks to Shana for a workout today that I could rock! 8:54-- I felt a little like I was cheating b/c I've been going up on weight for dumbbell swings but stuck to 35 today but I desperately needed the positive reinforcement!
tomorrow is a new day. I'll do better. No blog post tonight...I had to escape from everything...including this damn computer. Food was part of my escape. I regret it, but nothing I can do about it now except move forward...just let it be a blip instead of a major derailment. Just a blip. Oh, that's probably my next blog post/title..."Just a Blip". I love words. Good night and better Wednesday.
