Question of the Day: Have you ever had a coincidence so strange that you wondered if something supernatural was involved?

Thought of the Day: Our doubts are traitors, and make us lose the good we oft might win, by fearing to attempt.” — William Shakespeare

_______________

Good Morning Reader,

It’s October 13, and depending on how superstitious you are, that might mean absolutely nothing or just enough to make you think twice.

Today’s Thought comes from William Shakespeare, who had a few things to say about the opportunities we lose when we let doubt make our decisions. Sometimes our reasons for holding back are perfectly sensible. Other times, they’re just fear wearing a respectable suit.

​When Doubt Makes the Decision​

For today’s Question, we’re heading into slightly stranger territory.

Have you ever experienced something so oddly timed, so improbable, or so difficult to explain that you wondered whether coincidence was really the whole story?

I’m looking for the kind of story that begins with, “You’re not going to believe this.”

​Too Strange to Be a Coincidence?​

Pull up a chair. I’d love to hear yours.

Stay Golden,
