Like gifts, synchronicities come in all shapes and sizes. They aren’t all earth-shattering and life changing, but even the small ones, I think, signal that we’re in the flow. This synchro comes from our friend, Melissa, who used to babysit Megan when she was a kid. We’ve used her stories before. She and her husband, Jon, now live in Manhattan and Melissa periodically sends us some cool synchro stories.

This morning, I sat down with a nice cup of tea and the cat on my lap and decided to play on my iPad. Then, I remembered Jon and I have a wedding anniversary coming up in September – I almost forgot!
So, I Googled what the traditional gift is for the 7th wedding anniversary. Turns out, it’s copper. Thinking only of pennies, which I know aren’t made of just copper anymore, I was at a loss. Then I searched for gift ideas for this particular anniversary to see if I could get inspired. I like to be creative or get something unusual. One of the search results was for etsy – “popular 7th anniversary gifts on etsy” or something like that. I clicked it, thinking I might find something fun.
One of the first things that caught my eye was this – a necklace with a penny charm. (In above photo) The description is “Anniversary Date Hand Stamped Penny Necklace – Personalized”. The picture floored me, it was a penny sure enough, but the inscription? “Sept. 13” with a heart around the penny’s year – 2008.
Jon and I were married on 13 September 2008!
I think I found my gift – if they have any 2008 pennies on hand or I can find one. Though I don’t think he’ll wear a necklace!
I like this story!
Love and caring seems to trigger synchronicities.
That’s a way cool story.
Thanks for posting, Trish and Rob! By the way, I talked to the maker and she was able to make it into a key chain…our initials are on one part and then the penny.
That WaS made for them. It wAs!
