It would be a lie to describe my life as anything but hectic lately. I was out of town for 20 days in July, the bulk of it for business of one sort or another. "Destiny" came to mind today because I've come to a point where I need to decide which part of my career cluster I want to pursue. I've sort of been pulled in three directions for the past few years. And I've had different approaches toward trying to break into each... one I worked in for three years and dearly miss, one I got a Master's degree in, and the third has just come along. Yeah, if you guessed this site was the third, you've hit the nail on the head.
I never wanted to be a writer. I never dreamed I'd be working on several writing projects at once (including a book that my husband has had me working on here and there). But, apparently, it was destiny. Someone found TheTalkingBox through twitter and gave me oodles of advice on things I could be doing. I've already done a few and plan to work on a few more. But I have to question whether I was destined to be discovered just a month before the TCA Summer Press Tour, allowing me to find out about how to apply to attend and therefore gaining tons of knowledge and tons to post about in the coming weeks/months.
Well, this led me to think about destiny on television. There are tons of cases of it, and entire story arcs are sometimes attributed to a single event that happened, creating chaos throughout multiple characters' lives. But, I think one particular episode of How I Met Your Mother really showcases destiny to the fullest. I'm talking about "Lucky Penny" which was Season 2, Episode 15... a throwback to 2007.

What do you think?
