Monday Meant-To Be's, Creatively Meant-To Be's {and a winner! and more winners!}

When things are meant to be.

I am a firm believer in, "Everything happens for a reason." 

It does. The good. The bad. The ugly. There is a reason for it all. Some things I get. Some I have no idea why, but then I get the reasons and answers to the "why's" later on.

It's fun to think about...

When your name keeps popping up at a meeting to be part of a creative project, along with a well-know author, you can't help but blush and say, "Me?" "Why?"

When you start writing a book about creativity on a whim and are able to write it so easily...like it's meant to be {even though Elizabeth Gilbert, well-known author and bestseller is coming out with a book on creativity in September and you had no idea-what the heck? But, I LOVE her, so I'll let her publish it. ;) }, but it doesn't matter. I have to write this. It's fun. I love it. I want to share it. Has this ever happened to you? You think of an idea and then WHAM-O someone else, who is much bigger than you, announces it to the world. Don't be sour grapes. :/ I'm not.

You can learn from all of it. It's meant to be! 

   IT'S ALL

ME, YOU, US, OTHERS

and not squashing each other's dreams, goals and hopes to be

When you find yourself sitting across a table having dinner with a new friend who is not only teaching you about amazing things for one of the many hats you wear, but you know she is going to be a friend for life and the both of you are laughing and sharing like you've been friends forever sitting in your living room. Has this ever happened to you?

When you do odd things like 

Make a huge soup and then end up with visitors...

Have a feeling to call someone

Think of someone and then you see them the week after

Or show a friend your new property and she knows she'll be working with you and can see all the goodness that is going to happen here and we both look at each other like, " I don't know why, but..."  

It's all fun! I hope you can share your "meant to be's..."
