Fun with Synchronicity, Autumn Villard: EP 296
Synchronicities surround your daily life, ready for you to enjoy them. Autumn Villard lives with them and describes them as they enrich her delight in being alive. Her down-to-earth intelligent realism will enter your psyche and encourage your love of everyday meaningful coincidences.
As a lifelong learner who started noticing the serendipitous events in life at an early age, Autumn became a practiced observer of such events.
Autumn has always noted coincidences and signs and believed that they could be used for guidance in everyday life.
Realizing that this understanding was not something everyone recognized (was aware of), she decided to write a handbook for recognizing signs and symbols.
