I love it when readers share bits of their lives with me and don’t mind sharing with other readers on this blog. I am very happy that the Boudoir is a cross-cultural meeting point where interesting readers share stories and viewpoints, on the blog or via private correspondence.

One dear reader shared this incident with me and I thought it was an amazing coincidence:

“…..I must tell you of one conversation between two women at the conference. They were talking together near me and I overheard their conversation.

One of the women, about 50 I guess, was telling the other one that she had recently moved from Cleveland, Ohio , to Miami.

While in Miami , she met a British woman and they became friends. At some point, she mentioned to her new British friend that when she was a little girl in Cleveland, she had a pen pal from Britain.

The British woman was astonished and said that when she was a little girl, she had a pen pal inĀ  Cleveland!

It turns out that these two women had been each other’s penpal when they were little girls. They had long ago lost touch, and then they met as older women in Miami.

They each got out their old letters and read them together.

I found that story incredibly interesting. I take a spiritual approach to life, and I found that story to be very spiritual.”
