The Miss-Happenstances : Defined

A Happenstance is a Fortunate Coincidence.

Living each moment open to the next. And sometimes these moments may feel awkward and a bit of a "miss".

But as I live, I realize more and more that when we look carefully, these happenstances start to create a beautiful design. A design that is not our own doing. Rather it is the same design that created the stars and the ocean’s currents. And also the love that we hold inside of us.

This is a collection of witty and heartfelt stories showing the happenstances and at times the miss-happenstances of life.
