serendipity

ser·en·dip·i·ty     [ser-uhn-dip-i-tee]

1.	an aptitude for making desirable discoveries by accident.

2.	good fortune; luck: the serendipity of getting the first job she applied for.

I love this word.  And, I feel it very appropriately describes much of my life's journey.  I have had much luck in my life and am very grateful for it.  Of course, bad things have happened to me, but overall my life has been very good.  Busy, but good.

Last week, my husband and I celebrated our *10-year* anniversary.  I am so fortunate to have such a wonderful husband.  Our meeting was serendipitous - for me at least!  (I did not realize that it was a set-up by my friend!)  Within a matter of days, our lives were changed forever and I cannot imagine my life without him.

My A Muse journey has also been serendipitous.  Since the inception of the company, I have had incredibly good fortune to find amazing women with whom to share this journey - illustrators, designers, instructors and most importantly the behind the scenes team that keep A Muse running day-to-day.  I am grateful for the passion and commitment they demonstrate each day.

I certainly never imagined that A Muse would grow to be the company that it is today.  Early on, I joked that one day we would be bigger than PSX.  They are now out of business so I'm not sure that counts.  <smile>  I am grateful to you, our customers, for your continued support.  Thank you!

We have so many exciting things planned for you.  I tell you, it's serendipity! 

I know, I know!  I will post a card here soon! <grin>

happy anniversary! our 10th is tomorrow and i just can't believe it's been that long. time goes by so much faster each year (well, except for the katrina year, but that's a different story!). and as far as being bigger than psx--you're in business, they're not? i think that counts! back to packing for me--we're off to nyc for the weekend to celebrate... i haven't been there in probably 15 years, but that does seem like ages ago! :) lexi

A very happy anniversary to you and your husband. My husband and I are celebrating our 11th anniversary today (I plan to post my card for him later). And I am glad that you enjoy your business - too many people don't enjoy their jobs, or notice seredipity in their lives!
