She has outlined it, written 30 pages that she sent us, and today \u00a0experienced a synchronicity that perfectly illustrates one of the secrets in our book <em>7 Secrets of Synchronicity<\/em>.\u00a0 The fourth secret, The Creative, is that creativity lies at the heart of synchronicity.\u00a0 At the beginning of that chapter, we use a quote by physicists and author F David Peat: \u201cThe space between\u2026is the space that lies between the observer and the observed; it is the space of the creative act that brings a poem or a painting to life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Or a novel.<\/p>\n<p>In her novel, the protagonist, Riley Phoenix, 22, lives in a second story one-bedroom flat with lousy plumbing, in a neighborhood that isn\u2019t very safe, and there\u2019s no security whatsoever in the building \u2013 no cameras, no concierge, no security people. But she\u2019s perfectly happy living by herself in this place.\u00a0 Okay, that\u2019s the setup for the synchro.<\/p>\n<p>This weekend Megan drove over to Florida\u2019s west coast to see a friend with whom she went to high school. Renie had recently moved and Megan hadn\u2019t ever been to her place. So she got there, they went out on the town, and this morning, Megan bolted awake and realized she <em>was in her character\u2019s apartment<\/em>.\u00a0 Renie lives in a one-bedroom flat, on the second story of a building, in a not very safe area of town, and the building has no security whatsoever. And oh, <em>Renie\u2019s flat has terrible plumbing. <\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt wasn\u2019t like I walked into Renie\u2019 place last night and thought, <em>Wow, this is where<\/em> <em>Riley lives<\/em>. It just hit me out of the blue this morning. \u00a0So I walked around, taking pictures of the place so I can now fill in the details of Riley\u2019s flat.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When she called to tell us the synchro, we told her it was a positive sign for her book and her creative process. She agreed, but added, \u201cIt\u2019s because I have absolutely no resistance to writing this novel. I know I can do it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Pretty cool, huh?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our daughter, Megan, is writing a novel.
