Joy-Riding With Mom
A quick errand with Mom turns into a three-car pile-up in the A&P parking lot. Years later, I finally understand why she once asked if she was my hero.
Finding Extraordinary celebrates meaningful coincidences—those chance encounters and unexpected connections that quietly transform our lives. These muses reveal how ordinary moments can become crossroads of magic, grace, and human connection. Inspired by “Locker Room Moments with Dad,” this collection honors life’s beautiful accidents: the strangers who cross our paths, the small gestures that change everything, and the reminders that even our darkest moments hold light. The extraordinary isn’t far away—it’s woven into every day. When we stay open to wonder, meaning finds us right where we are.
