I was chatting with Fernando (my Thresholds Veterans Projects point-of-contact) yesterday and he told me a NUTSO story that I have to share here!

(And I should also share – we talked about me coming to Thresholds once a month on my Friday off to teach a rock painting class. I’m excited! And going to be very cautious of overdoing it in my free time. I’ll start mid April.)

So, the story – one of Fernando’s employees was browsing the explore page on Instagram and saw this post, by my friend Tiff:

And they decided they wanted to paint that rock for Fernando. At first they were going to keep it a secret, but then they decided to text him a picture and say that they were planning to paint something similar.

So that was a few weeks ago. Then, last week, while Fernando was on a walk, he found a rock. This rock:

THE EXACT SAME ROCK FROM THE PHOTO HIS EMPLOYEE SENT HIM.

His mind was blown and the employee’s mind was blown too. How did they randomly see something on the explore page, then it appeared in real life?

They were even more surprised when they contacted Tiff and she told them she lives in LA – not very close to here.

What are the odds?

After they figured out that Tiff and I are friends and I saw her recently in Tucson and she gave me that rock to hide it made more sense. But still… the Explore page showed the employee this rock, and this happened to be the one she gave me to hide? It’s such a crazy coincidence!

When they were talking to me about it, they said they were still in awe from it, even with knowing that Tiff and I are connected. And I am too!
