I described how I was working really hard to make this piece worthwhile, to meet my own standards and hopefully exceed the expectations of my colleagues.  One of the women behind the counter asked if she could help me.  Turns out she is a recent graduate with a major in public relations, and has strong background in writing, journalism and English.  She’s working at the coffee shop while she is trying to land a PR job.  What a find!

 

And yet, when she made the offer, something in me asked, “Can I really ask her to do this?”  Well, she did offer.  She seemed sincere.  Was I willing to accept her offer?  Short answer: Yes.

 

 

I feel so grateful and fortunate.  What if I had not chosen to do my work at the coffee shop?  What if the baristas hadn’t cared enough to speak up?  What if I had rejected her offer?  I feel like life presented me with a gift today.

 

Serendipity is just waiting for you.  Be sure you keep your eyes open, resist the urge to resist, and don’t miss out on help showing up, just for you.

 

Oh, by the way, you’ll be hearing more about this writing project here, real soon.
