I started this week with another anniversary of my twin sister Janine's death weighing heavily on my mind. I was not even sleeping well and got up very early on Monday morning. I headed straight to the internet to check my Yahoo Mail and immediately my eyes caught an email from someone with the name Janine! It was from Janine Huldie who has a wonderful blog titled Janine's Confessions Of A Mommyaholic. She brought the good news that I had won her blogiversary giveaway! As you can well imagine I was thrilled. I think this was such a wonderful coincidence. Thanks again to Janine for giving me this opportunity. I am glad that through blogging I have had the privilege of meeting a lovely person who has my twin sister's first name. Do go over and visit her blog.
Have you ever experienced a surprising coincidence in your life? Did it bring you joy or something good? I certainly hope so.
As usual I am linking with Friendship Friday hosted by Create With Joy and the other parties below:

How lovely! I don't believe in coincidences so much as I believe in divine intervention.
Wow that is amazing. I can't imagine your loss, I have a sister too and we are 2 yrs apart and very close. Stay strong and God bless.
