Coincidences

Some odd things have happened to me lately with regards to coincidences.

Firstly, I decided to start writing the book I've had on hold for the last 5 years. It's a children's book. One of my main characters is a goblin and is based on someone I know from my past. He is an odious story character.
Then out of the blue, I had a friend request from the person the character is based on. I haven't seen him in nearly a decade. That is odd. Incidentally, because I'm a forgiving sort, I gave him the benefit of the doubt, he seemed like he might have grown up. I accepted the request and met him.
He is just the same.

Secondly, I went for an interview in London for an overseas job. While I was there, I decided it was not for me. Circumstances would have made it impossible to take and I left early. However, I had done enough to impress and the guy gave me his card and said to call if my circumstances changed.
Two days later, several counties away at work, I had a meeting with a very dynamic sort who had ideas I liked. He spoke about big decisions and I laughed.
"Why the laughter?" he said, "big decision of your own?"
"Yes, by today"
As the meeting progressed, I mentioned Abu Dhabi, where the job was. My Dynamic asks,
"Your interview wasn't with C-N-G was it?" (name of man, not firm)
"Yes!"
It transpires they are super chums.
Small world.
Further chatting with Mr Dynamic and I hope I have managed to impress there too for something closer to home.

Thirdly, having been inspired by Mr Dynamic, I brought up the subject of book writing with my colleague. We've been throwing this idea round for years. We're going to do it now.
In order to prepare for it, I bought a children's book; Jim and the Beanstalk by Raymond Briggs, from Amazon. When I entered it into the search, as well as that book, it pulled up on the same page, several books by three of my university lecturers, totally unrelated to 'Jim and the Beanstalk'. I have taken this as a sign that I am meant to do this book.

There have been other things in the last fortnight too, but I am not willing to share them.

The 'Universe', I have decided, is conspiring to help me achieve my goals. This is what it does apparently, and you are meant to notice the coincidences in your life.

I mention all this because next week, it is the biggest and most important day of my life so far and it has to go my way.

I think the Universe is batting for my team.
