I am sad to say that I haven't had any synchronicity moments this past week, but I will relate an "in-tune" moment from my writing. While writing my memoir I have had to come up with different names for people in the story to protect the privacy of the individuals. Some people's names are similar to their real name or have significant meaning to me.
One particular name I used for a doctor that was random was Rothberg. It was a one time use for an on-call psychiatrist my son saw while at a facility. I have learned that most names of insignificant people can be deleted and I could have just referred to this person as the on-call psychiatrist, but I didn't, and the professional editor noticed it. She mentioned the occurrence of the one-time name and said it came as a surprise to her, because Rothberg is her maiden name. Interesting coincidence? "in-tune" moment? or synchronicity? So, I have decided that Rothberg will appear in the memoir as a more prominent figure instead of the one-time occurrence.
Please share your synchronistic moments with me, I'd love to hear them.
