Tears of Happiness

[mama_coed]

The other day, I was at the office and decided to look up a very dear old friend of mine.  I have known her since we were five years old.  We went through elementary school and junior high together until her family moved a few towns away.  We managed to work together in high school at the phone company and stayed in touch.  She was in my wedding

I love stories of synchronicity!

I always love hearing stories of that sort but never thought about having my own - now I do!!!!

Here is one of my favorite synchronicity stories:

Several years ago, one of my clients was a 12 year old girl, who was going to be going to family court so her grandparents could gain some visitation rights. She did not want any contact with her grandparents. I worked with her on her anxiety about facing her grandparents,etc. Those particulars are not important. She lived in a different county than me, and the hearing was to be in an entirely different county from both of us.

I happened to attend a cont. ed. course while I was working with this client; it took place in Pittsburgh and the topic was on divorce. I went alone, and usually for these things there is a continental breakfast. I was enjoying my coffee and a pastry when a woman struck up an conversation with me-networking is a common occurance.

Turned out this woman would be the court assigned person to represent my client in the upcoming hearing. How's that for synchronicity!

Oh my what a wonderful story.

Although I don't have a social work degree, I have attended some of those cont. ed. classes and have met some incredible folks.
