Serendipity

Serendipity (noun) - the faculty or phenomenon of finding valuable or agreeable things not sought for; a natural gift for making useful discoveries by accident. It is the effect by which one accidentally discovers something fortunate, especially while looking for something else entirely. It is also a 2001 movie starring John Cusack and Kate Beckinsale.

Jonathan (John Cusack) and Sara (Kate Beckinsale) meet unexpectedly and have one magical evening ... then part without expectation when she decides they must let fate determine if they are meant to be together. Years later, they are both engaged to others but cannot give up the dream that -- despite time, distance, and the obstacles that conspire to keep them apart -- they will one day meet again. It is a tale about soulmates, something that I totally believe in. Every time I come across this movie on television, I cannot help but stop and watch it. I own the DVD and have watched it over and over again. Something about this movie sort of hits home I guess. My husband and I fell in love unexpectedly. Many years ago, my husband and I both had crushes on other people in the same circle of friends, and then it happened: one magical night of dinner and a movie and suddenly we were in love! It was totally unexpected and we pretty much discovered that we were meant to be together by accident. Here we are, 8 years later, married with 2 kids.....and the happiest that we could ever be!

If you haven't already seen this movie, please go out and rent "Serendipity" and treat yourself to this totally romantic escape into a world where all is well and your fondest dreams can come true.
