Susan Osborn says, “Let’s focus on connections … not differences.”

Susan, you recently published an interesting book: “Coincidences and Other Spooky Connections.” “Yes! One day at lunch, I mentioned I’ve kept a record of coincidences in my life for over 40 years. When my friend suggested I write a book on the subject, I couldn’t wait to start researching. I learned that psychologist Carl Jung called coincidences ‘synchronicity’—the connection between all living things. Right away, elephants (known for their deep connections to each other) randomly popped up here and there in my research and my life, in the most surprising ways. They continue to appear—as if to remind me to be aware of connections, everywhere. Thus, an elephant is featured on my book’s cover.” Amazing! Your book seems to say that if we could just realize our connections, we could heal humanity. “You’ve got it! Variations of race, nationalities, religions, and even species, are parts of a marvelous whole. If we focused on connections instead of building barriers, the daily news would be full of pure joy!”

  1. My life has been one of synchronies/coincidences. Meeting you all is one of them. Kind of exciting. The book sounds inspiring. Thank .

  2. I read Susan’s book and it is fascinating – and a wake-up-call, to recognize co-incidences when they happen. We just need to pay attention. When we talk to people we often find there are connections we never knew – which make life meaningful.

  3. Susan, what an excellent topic to write about! I have a few amazing coincidences, and I’m sure most everybody does. They’re so interesting. Can’t wait to read your book.
