The Book I Almost Checked Out
I was listening to the podcast The Spiritual Awakening Show featuring an interview with Dr. Bernard Beitman about this project. I started it last night after running errands around town, one of which included a stop at the library. I didn’t finish the episode until this morning while I was lying in bed.
At the very end of the episode, the host mentions the book interview with Dr. Bernard Beitman. The night before, at the library, I had found that exact book while browsing the spiritual section — actually looking for books on tarot. I read the title twice and almost checked it out. It definitely stood out to me. I remember standing there, contemplating.
I guess now I have to go back and get it.
All evening I was following signs and even suggested the podcast to a friend on a spiritual path I hadn’t spoken to in a while. I’m an intuitive empath, and these kinds of things happen all the time. They just make me smile and giggle.
Glad there’s a place to share a coincidence on the theme of coincidence.
