All the “non” coincidences that have happened in my life so far, especially throughout my sobriety, help me believe more than ever that there is something that will guide us and give us reassurance in life if we search for it. In my book I wrote how when ever there are unwanted circumstances in my life, I use the tools of prayer, people, and hope to help me get through them. Recently on a day when not only were my current circumstances not the best, but my belief in a Creator I call God and myself wasn’t as strong as it usually is, I once again used these three tools to help me. First I prayed for the guidance and reassurance I needed that day and then went to work feeling a little sad, but trying to believe as hard as I could that I would get what I prayed for. Only a few hours later Traci showed up and after some small talk, I opened up about my book and my plans to go out and help others. I also told her how I was feeling and when I no sooner finished telling her this, she looked at me and said she does book reviews and she would be glad to read my book and write a review of it on her blog. Of course I realized she would need to like it for it to get a good review, but by then I had already developed a strong belief that I wrote a great book and knew she would like it. I truly believe this was just another of the many “non” coincidences that has happened in my life. I want to thank Traci for her help. I also want to say to those who are currently going through tough times, that there is a reason for everything that happens in our life and even when we’re not sure why we’re going through some of the things we do, if we choose to, we can get through them and come out the other side with a stronger belief in ourselves. I must add that unwanted circumstance are happening less in my life and this along with the “non” coincidences that continue to happen, make me believe more and more that there is a Creator that gave me the ability to be all right even when things aren’t.
