Sharing a quick update that I’ve added links referenced in the 2nd Podcast episode to the Podcast Resources page. What makes this interesting in a synchronistic way is one of the stories I mention in this Podcast has to do with the Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald. To understand why it’s particularly interesting I need to point out I wrote the script for the 2nd Podcast in early May. I had no idea there was any sort of event regarding the Edmund Fitzgerald in the works.
If anything I’d think they’d do something in November.
Then I read the news this morning.
Turns out today is the day of the Edmund Fitzgerald Memorial Swim. Specifically, the 50th anniversary.
Wow.
I love synchronicities because it’s the universe telling us we’re on the right path. To round this out I’ll share a story from the Podcast.
My maternal great-grandfather emigrated from Scotland to Detroit whereafter he owned a shipping company. One of the ships in his fleet was the PS Tashmoo. The bell from the Tashmoo is in the Maritime Sailors’ Museum in Detroit.
The bell that Gordon sings rang 29 times for each life on the Edmund Fitzgerald.
My Story
I used to have a very cool sweatshirt with a picture of the Tashmoo on it. Years back Aaron and I were walking in Union Square in San Francisco when an older couple stopped us. The man said “The Tashmoo? How do you know about the Tashmoo? You seem awfully young for that.”
I explained the ship was part of my maternal great-grandfather’s fleet to which he told me he and his wife who was standing beside him had their honeymoon on the Tashmoo. He told me what a wonderful time it was and went on to share stories about her grandeur.
Have an awesome day. I hope life brings synchronicities that make you smile.
Be well.
