Shadows of Pretty Little Liars

Tranquility hung in the air like the whisperings of a dream. I was going about my day at Erewhon – that sacred temple of wellness where Los Angeles dreams are distilled into organic elixirs and celebrity sightings are as common as cold-pressed juices.

That night at the Pretty Little Liars party, our paths didn’t truly cross. Lucy Hale – a beacon of inspiration – stood mere feet away, yet the universe had other plans. I remember the electric anticipation of wanting to introduce myself, my heart racing with the possibility of connection.

But God works in mysterious ways.

Shay Mitchell – a vision of grace, moving through the market like a gentle breeze. Her presence was more than just a celebrity encounter; it was a moment of Divine synchronicity. I exalt the universe for these moments of unexpected connection.

The bitter flower of arrogance will never take root in my heart when I reflect on how these glimpses of stardom are but whispers of something greater. Friends, please understand – it’s easy to forget when experiencing these moments that we can actually reach people.

God has been kind to me. He has lit the path of least resistance, given me discipline, drive, and passion to appreciate these fleeting moments of magic.

But, rejoice! There is light to be found in the seemingly ordinary encounters of life – in the spaces between what could have been and what was meant to be.
