We are coming across more and more coincidences in our family lately. 

You know the ones I mean, where you have just been discussing something, when literally minutes later, someone will mention this same thing on the programme we are watching.

Sometimes, the subject matter is so unusual, you can’t help wondering if something else is going on.

In our family, we all think that these moments are significant, but we have no clue what they could mean.

Is it an affirmation that we are on the right track?

But, right track for what? 

Over the years, and this is how long this has been going on, nothing conclusive has ever been established.

I had another thought the other day. Maybe these signs mean the opposite? Maybe we are on the wrong track?

( I found this article online…)

“ Coincidences are commonly defined as the occurrence of two or more events that seem unrelated or unlikely to be mere chance, yet they happen in a way that suggests an underlying connection or meaning. They can range from minor occurrences, such as thinking about a friend and bumping into them unexpectedly, to more significant events that shape the course of our lives.

Throughout history, coincidences have drawn the attention of scholars, scientists, and everyday individuals who seek to understand their significance. Carl Jung, the renowned Swiss psychiatrist and psychoanalyst, coined the term “synchronicity” to describe meaningful coincidences that seem to defy rational explanation.

While some coincidences can be attributed to statistical probabilities or mere chance, others leave us scratching our heads and wondering if there is something more profound at play… “

I would love to know everyone’s thoughts on this: are coincidences important, or simply misleading?

Despite the weather, have a glorious weekend!

  1. misleading? perhaps if we don’t “get it”

    1. I get the relevance, Annette, I just need to know why…

  2. Interesting thought. Have woken up some mornings with a particular song in my head for no reason, then it comes on the radio in the car or is playing in a shop.
    Once coincidence, twice unlikely, three times something’s going on.
    I was walking in town after keep fit yesterday and a guy was quite close on my heels. I had to look behind me to check traffic which is why I saw him. I crossed over to go to the pharmacy for Hubby’s prescription and as I crossed back again to go into the bakers, he was walking towards me. We passed in the street and I went in to place my order. When it was almost ready, he was behind me in the shop. I was totally unnerved at this point and increased my pace to get back to the car.

    1. That was quite creepy, I would have commented! I love that guideline, Di… I will be using it from now on…

      1. It helps put things into perspective.

  3. It’s hard to say. I can only speculate. But if you’ve followed my blog for any length of time you know how much I believe in otherworldly guidance, whether it is from the angels or guides. But is there really such a thing as a coincidence? I view them as affirmations in a good way.

    1. I would love to know if it is the angels, giving us pointers, Jan…

      1. Only you can answer that one.

        1. 🕊️🕊️

  4. I would like to believe they are signs- but sadly I cannot.

    1. They must be signs, but of what?

  5. An interesting topic and we have many such moments too. I find them intriguing and search briefly for meaning then think, wow before moving on with life. I’ve never considered them in a negative way though.

    1. No, they do seem to be trying to tell us something, don’t they?

  6. Sometimes just chance, other times ‘bound to have happened’ and other times in between
    The tides (and tydes), along with the other myriad interactions of folk at times have their own mysteries.

    Take care.
    Keep on keeping on👍🙏

    1. You know I will, Roger…

      1. That’s the way!! 👏🌻🌻🌻🌼
