October has earned a reputation for being a notoriously mundane month. The summer fun is long over, back-to-school madness has settled. It’s back to reality as the routine in our lives is restored. Many of us appreciate the peace and quiet it brings until the last week of the month when the scramble for Halloween costumes peaks. With my love of Halloween, October has always been punctuated with myth and magic and my tickle-trunk has let me play a cast of evil villains and angelic heroines.

Synchronicity is a term that is frequently used to represent the process of experiences coming together and forming some sort of meaning - kind of like a game of dominoes. On this journey, I’ve learnt to interpret moments of synchronicity as winks from the universe telling me “You’re getting warmer." And in this case, it’s both figurative and literal. I’m headed to Chile!
