Coincidences

​I am a firm believer in coincidences, or as Richard Bach aptly put it, in the notion that "Everyone, every moment in your life, is there because you attracted it to yourself."

A couple of weeks ago, I lent one of my favorite books, "The Boy Who Runs," to a friend. That morning, for no particular reason, I shared with her the once-in-a-lifetime experience of running across Uganda with the book's protagonist, Julius Achon, as part of a fundraiser for The Love Mercy Foundation. It remains one of my fondest memories, right at the intersection of what makes me feel the most alive: running in extraordinary places to support causes I deeply believe in.

Today, my friend mentioned that she had finished (and loved!) the book. It just so happened that I returned home from our training session to discover that it's the fourth anniversary of that glorious experience in Uganda. So, I took a moment to reflect on those few days in Uganda, the incredible country, the meaningful work that Love Mercy does for Uganda, and the remarkable people I had the privilege of meeting, especially Julius.

I deeply admire you, my friend.
