People enter our lives in funny ways.
As a sentimental person, I often reflect on my life and the countless blessings I have â usually during my gratitude journaling practice, or in the minutes before drifting off to sleep.
And what come to mind for me are always people.
I think about this person. And that person. And this other person. And the crazy serendipitous chain of events that led to our souls crossing paths â but crazier yet, imagining how different my life would be if Iâd never met them.
I think about how if I didnât go to this one event, I never wouldâve met ___. If I wasnât sitting in this public spot on this particular afternoon, I never wouldâve met ___. If I didnât send that one message, I never wouldâve met ___, and if I never signed up for this one random thing, I never wouldâve met ___.
The common denominator is that I changed my status quo. Because if I stayed in the same routine, always took the same route to work, only talked to the people I already know, and never opened myself up to something I never tried before, I never wouldâve met these people. And these are people I now canât imagine my life without.
Iâm sure somebody comes to mind for you as well. Somebody you werenât even expecting to meet, and yet, stumbled into your life by chance-happenings and shook it up in the best way.
Or maybe youâre wishing somebody came to mind. Maybe youâre yearning to meet someone new who can shake up your life, be it platonically or romantically (teehee), but have âlost hopeâ because you find it âhard to make new friendsâ or âeveryone is so superficialâ and âmeetup groups are cringe.â
But itâs all mindset.
Remove the scarcity, embrace abundance, put yourself out there, and radiate authenticity â and you wonât have to chase for new connections. They will simply flow to you, especially when youâre too busy living to let the thought even concern you.
Send this to someone youâre thankful for who stumbled into your life. Or, get out there and meet that someone. And never, ever, ever take your connections for granted, because life works in funny ways and you can always choose to love exactly how it unfolded.
Yours truly,
Meg

Raw life update:
I just got back from one of my favourite trips of all time. No, not to some crazy destination or luxury resort â rather, a weekend in humble cabin by Maple Lake, situated in Haliburton County, Ontario.
It was a trip of uncontrollable laughter, new inside jokes, and core memories and stories to last for a lifetime. And this is all credit to the people I travelled with, whom can make sitting in a room the most funny situation to ever exist.
Like I always say â itâs all about the people. Laughter is the best medicine. My soul is SO happy!!
Oh, I also got to spot the solar eclipse from Toronto (after the clouds parted LOL).
