When do coincidences mean more?

This entry is part 3 of 19 in the series Raw Food Trial

Going Raw 30 day trialThis week has been absolutely amazing.  Since the decision to do 30 days raw I’ve had one coincidence after another.  It’s now getting a) very clear I’m on the right path here and b) slightly spooky!

Here’s the sequence this last week:

  1. Forgot to set my alarm overnight
  2. Woke up with just enough time to get ready, but not to make breakfast too
  3. Stopped in at a local cafe once the train pulled in at the other end for a quiche
  4. Too many people queued up, they were serving only from down by the coffee machine
  5. Went down and decided on impulse to order a chai (it was uncharacteristically cold that day) – then noticed a flyer for a local naturopath right next to me on the counter. On impulse again, I grabbed one.  I’ve never seen them promoting other businesses before.
  6. Came to the conclusion that if the medicos were getting to monitor me, I really would like someone more holistic doing it too
  7. Comments at work during the day started me thinking about how to turn this trial into something bigger than just me (there’ll be an announcement soon, once I’ve set it up)
  8. Rang the naturopath, arranged an appointment this Tuesday, after realising her name was the same as my niece. Nothing earlier was available, I had been thinking I’d like her advice on what blood screens to ask for.
  9. Got to Dr appointment at the local clinic on Friday, he was running late but I discovered the Dr I got was very open minded & curious about the trial.
  10. Had incidentally come across an article talking about what study to cite for Dr’s to get medical take on raw food diet, so was able to direct him to that (The China Study, which I haven’t read myself yet)
  11. He took more baseline stats including weight, height etc.  I got my referral for the blood screen tests, including a few extra things he thought of that I hadn’t
  12. Attended clinic early Sat, was 10th in line.  Just missed being 9th by a lady who pulled into carpark as we were walking through it
  13. Nurse I got told me she’d also done raw, back before her son was born. Her son is now 18yo.  Made the comment that by the end of 28 days you couldn’t tie her down she had so much energy
  14. Turns out I should get results back JUST in time for the Naturopath appointment!

Things are just clicking together and pointing me in certain directions.  I’m still feeling slightly apprehensive, but it’s building a momentum all it’s own so I’m excited to follow the path it’s leading, too. There’s absolutely no time between one thing and the next, either – it meshes together so perfectly that I’m half fearful it’s not going to connect in time, but it does – just.  Every time.

My next step is going to be to compile a list of FAQs and Raw links for if you’re interested to find out more for yourself.  If you have any questions you’d like me to look up answers for, please post them below in the comments…
