When I was out for lunch with a friend a number of months back, we dined at a restaurant with a more casual atmosphere. In fact, the server even had time to sit down and chat with us, which definitely made the mealtime wait seem a lot shorter. Whether that was an intentional move on their part in hopes for a bigger tip or just a random genuinely friendly event only they know, however what I do remember is connecting with this person on their education.
Most people who work in the service industry are paid well, although the work hard for that money and many of them are students trying to put themselves through schooling. This was the case with our server, who was looking forward to winding down their restaurant career now that they had finally graduated. I congratulated them and told them that my girlfriend was already working in the industry they were getting into and that they should get together and talk one day because they had the same specific interests.
I shared the story of the server with my girlfriend when I got home that day and without anyway to get a hold of the server, set aside returning to the restaurant, four months passed by without either of us thinking twice about it again. That was until my girlfriend got home from work today, she had been training students and people doing their practicum, which coincidentally the former server was now doing. What was neat is that my girlfriend doesn’t normally work at this particular location, yet on this particular occassion she had taken a shift that resulted in them meeting one another.
Perhaps it is a coincidence, or perhaps our intentions are answered by the Universe using in the best “accounting” system ever created. When the student is ready the teacher will appear, which I think applies to this situation and how it ended up unfolding. People come into our lives when we resonate the same frequency, so timing is everything in terms of manifesting. I believe the more open we are to allowing the process to evolve naturally the more accurate results we will receive.
What else did I learn from this experience? By taking the principal of having a “high” expectation and a “low” attachment to the outcome. Have a high expectation that things will go your way in every situation and keep a low attachment to how things turn out. In my example, sure it would have been nice if I could have gotten those two talking sooner, however, allowing nature to take it’s course and releasing the introduction to the universe it happened eventually anyway.
Do you think this was a “small world” coincedence or does the universe support intention? Send me your comments.

Today I experienced the awareness of a couple of interesting experiences in regards to timing and I thought it would make a good discussion on the topic of “coincidences”.
For lunch today I enjoyed a very tasty pork-chop on steam riced meal in a new Vietnamese restaurant in Marda Loop. This resturant has only been open for 3 weeks, a welcomed bonus in my world because the next closest alternative is many miles away.
After I paid for the meal I briefly debated on whether to run some errands with my companion under the blue sky or head back home and get some more work done alone.
The decision was tough but eventually decided to head home, being busy as of late with lots of project on the go that needed attending.
When I returned home I immediately checked the mail and admit I was somewhat disappointed that I hadn’t received a package I had been expecting.
However, simultaneous with my dissatisfaction the inner awareness inside of me observed the following thought:
“Unrealistic expectations and attachment are the two greatest sources of unhappiness.”
As I reflected over the reason as to my current dismay I thought about the package.
The package I was “expecting” was actually suppose to arrive anywhere from 7 to 10 days.
If “by chance” the package arrived it would have been a pleasant surprise to receive it so soon.
<< Rewind to Two Day’s Earlier
When the order for this package was negotiated the representative advised that it would take approximately 2 weeks to arrive.
The item was important and because of that:
I could have been “justified” in making a big deal about my “need” to receive the package sooner.
I could have easily played the victim, and wondered “why me”
I could have easily started the interogation method: “who’s in charge, I want to speak to them now”
However I made the decision to not to engage in anything less than a solution using my positive intentions.
My positive intention was to provide the company with the benefit of the doubt rather than assume the worst.
I focused my manifesting energy on a solution that would see me happy, most likely because the company had “over-delivered” on their customer service commitment.
>> Fast forward to Today
Today after coming home from a lunch to a mailbox without the package, I became aware of my attachment to the arrival of it.
In noticing that it wasn’t where I was looking, I negated the opportunity for it to arrive.
I was able to release the expectation that the company would instead use “priority mail” and the thought that it ”should” have been here in just two days from the States.
I let go of my attachment and accepted that it would arrive when it did, no sooner or no later.
Within 2 minutes the UPS delivery worker rang my door bell and I was signing for the package from the company.
Here’s my thoughts:
Do you believe in coincidences?
Would my timing, thoughts and behaviours be considered a coincidence in your books?
Is it a coincidence that I chose to go directly home after lunch on this a bright sunny day?
Is it a coincidence that I was thinking about the package before it arrived when I first checked the mailbox?
Is it a coincidence that within short moments of ”letting go” of the attachment and expectation the package manifested?
Tune in for Part 2 of this post where I will tell you if my intention to talk to a former work colleague worked.

5 Things You Never Knew Your Cell Phone Could Do
For all the folks with cell phones. (This should be printed and kept in your car, purse, and wallet. Good information to have with you.)
There are a few things that can be done in times of grave emergencies.
Your mobile phone can actually be a life saver or an emergency tool for survival.
Check out the things that you can do with it:
FIRST
Emergency
The Emergency Number worldwide for Mobile is 112. If you find
Yourself out of the coverage area of your mobile network and there is an
Emergency, dial 112 and the mobile will search any existing network to
Establish the emergency number for you, and interestingly, this number 112
can be dialed even if the keypad is locked. Try it out.
SECOND
Have you locked your keys in the car?
Does your car have remote keyless entry? This may come in handy someday. Good reason to own a cell phone:
If you lock your keys In the car and the spare keys are at home, call someone at home on
their cell phone from your cell phone. Hold your cell phone about a foot from your car door and have the person at your home press the unlock button, holding it near the mobile phone on their end. Your car will
unlock. Saves someone from having to drive your keys to you. Distance is no object. You could be hundreds of miles away, and if you can reach someone who has the other ‘remote’ for your car, you can unlock the doors (or the trunk).
Editor’s Note:
It works fine! We tried it out and it unlocked
Our car over a cell phone!’
THIRD
Hidden Battery Power
Imagine your cell battery is very low. To activate, press the keys *3370#. Your cell phone will restart with this reserve and the instrument will show a 50% increase in battery. This reserve will get charged when you
charge your cell phone next time.
FOURTH
How to disable a STOLEN mobile phone?
To check your Mobile phone’s serial number, key in the following Digits on your phone: *#06#. A 15-digit code will appear on the screen. This number is unique to your handset. Write it down and keep it
somewhere safe.When your phone get stolen, you can phone your service provider and give them this code. They will then be able to block your handset so even if the thief changes the SIM card, your phone will be totally useless. You probably won’t get your phone back, but at least you know that whoever stole it can’t use/sell it either. If everybody does this, there would be no point in people stealing mobile phones.
And Finally….
FIFTH
Free Directory Service for Cells
Cell phone companies are charging us $1.00 to $1.75 or more for 411 information calls when they don’t have to. Most of us do not carry a telephone directory in our vehicle, which makes this situation even more of a problem. When you need to use the 411 information option, simply dial: (800)FREE411, or (800) 373-3411 without incurring any charge at all. Program this into your cell phone now.
