“You’re so lucky!” We often hear that phrase. But actually, we believe that chance and intention are best friends. To quote the Roman philosopher, Seneca, “Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity”.

To envision a world where we individually create our own realities with sheer force of will, defies our lived experience. Yet to imagine a world where countless random acts co-mingle to form an ad-hoc reality seems uninspired. We think that reality is a true blend of random possibilities, intention, and preparation.

The idea in this musical story is real. Our friend held a distinct vision of a future with a Soulmate. With crystal clear intentions she focused on her dream in minute detail. Within a matter of weeks, her future partner seemed to magically appear with a detailed intention of his own—to find her. Their deepest longings had been answered. Too good to be true? Was it chance or will-power that brought them together? We say YES, both!

We believe that manifestations are real. However, intentional living, no matter how powerful is not enough. When coupled with the random external energies that constantly swirl around us, we become willful co-creators of our realities, which often produces our envisioned results. Some of the joy of living is held within that surprising twist beyond our control that often exceeds our wildest expectations—something truly “meant to be.”

May we all dance with the Universe and discover all we long for and imagine! Maybe even more!

Music—Meant To Be

Lyrics

Without knowing just why
I expected to find you someday
Knowing you are the one
Took some time, worth the wait

Without knowing your voice, I heard
Gentle tones of Sirens calling
With open arms to welcome me
Into where I’ve always longed to be

Without seeing the edge
I decided to jump from safety
Knowing you are the one
I believe love is fated

Without thinking it through, I knew
That my path would someday bring me
To open arms that welcome me
Into where I’ve always longed to be

Noted the clues, followed the mystery
Tied all the threads connecting you to me
Meant to be friends, bound to be lovers
Hearts and souls entwined

Meant to be friends, bound to be lovers
Hearts and souls entwined
Hearts and souls aligned

Without knowing the way
We have chosen to blend our journeys
With this path that we’re on
Finding joy at every turning

Without sensing just how, I see
I discovered my Destiny
With open arms that welcome me
Into where I’ve always longed to be

Just you and me
Meant to be
Just you and me
Meant to be
