What are the chances?

Today I experienced "what a small the world truly is" when you follow you intuition and have an underlying belief that there are no accidents. Let me explain.

Today is Easter Sunday and I was on the phone talking to Anita, a woman I met for the first time at a workshop about a week ago in Gilbert, Arizona. Anita lives in Sedona, Arizona and I live in Scottsdale, Arizona — about 200 miles separate us.  During our conversation, Anita told me about her adventures trying to buy property in Sedona. In passing, she  mentioned an entrance way to a residence that reminded me of the house in Sedona a friend of mine, Shelia, rented years before. I asked Anita what street the house was on, determined that it wasn't the same house that Shelia had lived in and casually mentioned Shelia by name.

To my great surprise, Anita actually knew Shelia from a presentation Shelia did in 1996 when Anita visited Sedona for the very first time. Until about six months ago, Anita lived in Chicago and had lost track of Shelia. When she moved to Sedona, Anita wanted to locate Shelia, a wonderful intuitive, and hadn't  struck pay dirt. Shelia had since moved to Prescott, which Anita didn't know, and there was "no way" that the two of them could connect by chance in the market, bank or any place else. To make a long story short, I acted as "match maker" and gave each woman the other's email address, should either choose to reconnect. What are the chances?

Here's the interesting part — I didn't actually get to talk to Anita at the workshop last weekend. I sent an email to Valerie, a woman in Las Vegas who sells beautiful crystals, and Anita's messages to the same woman "some how" got merged into Valerie's response to an email from me — sent just four days ago.
 
Since I didn't believe the merging of the documents was an accident (there are no accidents in the cosmic scheme of things — from my humble viewpoint), I followed my intuition and sent Anita a brief email to let her know that her message appeared at the bottom of  mine. I wanted to make sure that Anita received the crystals she was ordering from Valerie. Anita actually sent her message to Valerie,  several months BEFORE the workshop Anita and I both attended. How our messages got merged is still a mystery, but that "accident" enabled Anita to connect with Shelia. Anita's call to me earlier in the day was inn response to my email telling her about the strange "merger."
 
I wonder how many prayers or unspoken desires would be fulfilled if more people were willing to follow their intuition. I realized that the link between the "giver" and the "receiver" is each of us. Without my following my intuition and Anita following hers, there might never have been a connection between Anita and Shelia. Chances are good that when we listen to our intuition instead of the on-going chatter in our heads, "miracles" can happen.
