Great question. Circumstances shape who we are, but also our intentions. We put ourselves into positions to be open to new relationships, jobs, random conversations that then further shape our existence. It's the greatest thing about life. What happens next is unwritten, but how you react to the next page can change everything. Keep up the good work.

Thanks for your comment Vince. I was at that time in my life searching for my soulmate. As an award-winning photographer in Kells once said to me, fate favours the prepared. To capture her magnificent award-winning photo, she had to have gone out one morning with all the correct gear. She had no power over the deer in the glade that lifted its head at the right time and at the perfect angle, nor over the sun that lit up the mist in the air at precisely that moment. But if her intention hadn't been there, she would not have been prepared and the moment would have passed unrecorded, a splendid picture would not have been created and the photographer's life trajectory would not have been altered for the better. Thanks again!
