Meet Aunt Kit:
Seahaven Sunrises & Synchronicity
If you've read Feathers in the Sand (Seahaven Sunrise Book 1), you've met the fascinating, lovely, generous Aunt Kit (aka Katharine Gilmore). Now in her 60's, she owns property in Seahaven, Maine, and is retired from her unexpected career in modeling.
Aunt Kit intentionally greets as many days as she can by watching the sunrise, and the reason why will be shared in Sea Glass Memories (Seahaven Sunrise Book 2), which will be floating in on the waves to you in October.
She also is a firm believer in synchronicity, defined by Carl Jung as "meaningful coincidence" or a "non-causal event in the external world which coincides with things going on in the internal world, such as our thoughts, feelings and dreams." Yes, Kit is a deeply spiritual woman (in spite of her worldly modeling career). She owns a unique gift shop in downtown Seahaven called "Coastal Soul" and is a major influence in the lives of her niece Tess and Tess's young daughter, Eva.
A prime example of Kit's belief in synchronicity is the way she rents out the apartments in the large Victorian house that is on her property—she leaves an empty apartment empty until it's made clear to her who the next dweller is to be.
I've experienced the magic of synchronicity many, many times in my life. Some of these are small and some are larger. How each of our felines (and 1 canine) came to us over the years were small synchronicities. Another time, I thought I had the perfect creativity coach lined up, but she broke her arm which forced me to look elsewhere and then I found an even more perfect creativity coach!
My favorite example of synchronicity is a bigger one. In 2005, I was flying from Boston to California to attend the SoulCollage® Facilitator Training. In the St. Louis, Missouri airport during a flight change, I was surprised when—in the ladies room—I ran smack into my therapist from Massachusetts, Fran! Neither one of us had any idea that the other was traveling that week, and it was especially synchronistic for me because Fran had been the most encouraging component in my decision to attend the Training, to become a SoulCollage® Facilitator!
I hope you enjoy my Seahaven Sunrise books (which also include love stories) and that you will also be on the lookout for any "meaningful coincidences" in your own life this week (and ever after).
Please send a reply to this email and let me know of any synchronicities (big or small) that you've experienced on your own journey.
By the way, the image above is a stock photo I found on Dreamstime that is a good rendition of how Aunt Kit appears in my imagination!
