Join The CoinciDance !Coining a Term. First, my definition of CoinciDance: 
a synchronistic event, or occurrance, of which one can not help but take note, and which seems to call us to seek meaning or significance related to its appearance, in our own lives, and on our own mind body and soul journey. In coining this term, I am purposeful in my misspelling of the correct word, coincidence. I see this phenomenon not as a happenstance, lucky, or casual connection of events, but rather, as a Dance we are all engaged in; a coincidance in which we seem to follow subtle harmonies along life’s journey. More traditionally, coincidences are defined as events, two or more, unlikely to be linked or occur together or simultaneously under typical circumstances, while there seems to be meaning in their co-inciding. Some members of the scientific community dispute coincidence as being simply part of the order and chaos that is our world, or fluffy unimportant factoids of life. AHA Moments At times, we recognize clear meaning in the synchronicity. We are then very much engaged in the CoinciDance. At other times, we just shake our heads and wonder, Huh ?!? Several respected scientific minds, philosophers and general geniuses have written and speculated about these events. For example: Carl Jung: had a great interest and wrote on synchronicity, at times joining minds along with Wolfgang Pauli Paul Kammerer: had a theory that coincidental event were part of a phenomenon of seriality. Robert Moss: renowned scholar and lucid dreaming expert teaches that serendipity helps us access reality deep within us. I, like many of you, have been observing coincidences, and making a mental note of the more amazing ones, for years. These are serendipitous occurrences you could not make up if you tried. I have written about them in my books, and will encourage you to share yours as well. For now, here’s one of my favourites: The Chicken Sandwich My daughter was walking home from high school, through the city core. She was carrying a heavy backpack and in the words of every teenager, Starving! Having no money with her, she was approaching the Burger King™, about a block away. Smelling the burgers grilling, she started to wish that she had some money to buy a BK Chicken Sandwich™. She was really thinking about it, when Lo and Behold! She spotted a free coupon for a BK Chicken Sandwich™ on the pavement! She picked it up, went in to the restaurant, and thoroughly enjoyed the object of her desire. People enjoy this story because it is a classic Ask And It IS Given example. Robert Moss spoke of this on a CBC Radio interview in 2009, sharing that clearly thinking our question out, in our own minds may trigger a seemingly coincidental answer to appear. Are synchronicities guideposts to lead us in the right direction? Let the debate begin. Have a coincidance you would like to share? Send it to me on my new Law of Attraction Stories page. I look forward to hearing your story, and sharing it with others if that is your wish. Happy CoinciDance, everyone!
