Synchronicity
Some people believe there is a reason for
everything that happens in their lives and
that there is a universal plan or "divine
order" at play. This course is a reflective
lecture and discussion on how to recognize
when you are going "against the flow" of
your life's purpose. Discover how to get
back on track and live what you determine
to be the meaning of life. This will
eventually lead to happiness and joyful
living as you begin to embrace and understand
the "synchronicity" at play in your
life. Go with the flow! Janet Jackson-
