... the seemingly coincidental occurrence of events (as similar thoughts in widely separated persons or a mental image of an unexpected event before it happens) that seem related but are not explained by conventional mechanisms of causality ... synchronicity ...

What's In A Name.....

It's funny...when I decided to venture out on my own last spring...into the world of consulting...I wanted to find a name that reflected the dynamics & diversity of my professional background & experiences...

...Sales...Marketing...Event Planning...NonProfit Mangement...Change...Fundraising...Business Development...

Not to mention capturing the essence of who I am and how I approach things....it's fairly common knowledge that I typically don't do things like "everyone else"...

I collect people.  That's what I do.  Honest.  That's the key to my success.  It's really that simple.

I don't believe in coincidences.  I believe in connections.

Random...or otherwise.

Many names were tossed around.  Considered.  Tried on.  Discarded.

Then someone who knows me really well suggested SYNCHRONICITY!

I liked it immediately....it just felt right. 

Looked it up and the definition was so cool, too.

My friend knows me really well....& my love for words....he knew I would like it!

After adopting it....and walking around with it for awhile...something interesting happened....it was somewhat random...fitting, I guess...

I was reviewing my personal blogs from 2008...trying to organize them in some meaningful fashion...and I stumbled upon one that I had completely forgotten...I was totally stunned & amazed to find this one:

December 20, 2008 --- INTERESTING

So yesterday I am reading my horoscope and it says that there will be "majestic synchronicity".....AND an "awesome gift" which may be from a forever unknown giver.....
I carried it around all day because I wasn't exactly sure what "synchronicity" meant....and any thing "majestic" was bound to be interesting.....and an AWESOME gift was intriguing too......

and I fully intended to blog about it so I wanted to be able to put it here verbatim.

I have somehow misplaced it.....in all of the EXCITEMENT, I guess.....

Anyway, I thought "synchronicity" was probably going to mean something along the lines of flowing.....prescision movement...clockwork.....that's what came to mind when I thought of "synchronize".....

Imagine my surprise when I visited webster.com:

Synchronize: intransitive verb : to happen at the same time

transitive verb 1 : to represent or arrange (events) to indicate coincidence or coexistence

HELLOOOOOOO! Did that just say COINCIDENCE?!?! Actually it says "to arrange to INDICATE coincidence"......see, ole Mr. Webster, he didn't really BELIEVE in coincidences either....obviously!

and SYNCHRONICITY: the coincidental occurrence of events and especially psychic events (as similar thoughts in widely separated persons or a mental image of an unexpected event before it happens) that seem related but are not explained by conventional mechanisms of causality —used especially in the psychology of C. G. Jung 

Ok, ok....so there he doesn't DISCLAIM coincidences.....but everyone KNOWS that I don't believe in coincidences.....
so it's interesting...."Majestic synchronicity" will be experienced....

Based on the definition it doesnt' necessarily mean that I will be aware of it at the time....it will simply be occuring..... And some pretty weird, random stuff happened yesterday....most of it was not "interesting" and could not really be qualifed as "majestic" or even "positive" .....I sure hope it becomes evident later!

....and yes, I did get a "gift" from an unknown giver...the generous act of goodwill which surrounds the giving of the gift is, indeed, AWESOME!

....so there you have it...I liked it then....I like it now....SYNCHRONICITY!
