Life is full of surprises and coincidences

Playing on the famous theme from the movie Forrest Gump: Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get! 😄

Embrace and discover life: It is full of surprises and coincidences

Breastfeeding in public: There was a woman sitting at a table in a public seating area of a shopping mall reading a large sized book, which appeared to be a textbook. When asked about what she was reading, she showed the cover of the book. It was a course or preparation book for a breastfeeding consultant. In the public seating area only a few yards away there was a young family with a woman breast feeding her baby in public without any cover. The two parties were strangers and most likely not related at all. The future breastfeeding consultant was smiling when this coincidence was pointed out to her.
Now you may wonder perhaps how many lactating or breastfeeding consultants are out there! 😄

Two young African adults meet for the first time: In the same mall, there is also a store run by an international French perfume and cosmetics company with a very French name. Next to it is a large store of one of the most iconic and most valuable (in terms of stock price) American consumer electronics, software, online services companies. There is a young African woman working in the first store. In the latter store, there is a young African man working. Both have been working in these stores side by side for several months. They did not know each other.  The young woman hails from Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo and she speaks French. By pure chance, not long ago it was discovered that the young man also speaks some French. It was then immediately suggested to introduce him to the young African woman. Once these two young Africans were introduced to each other, the young man revealed he also was from Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo. Did the young man just say that for whatever reason or was this another almost incredible coincidence? Hint: The DR of Congo the fourth most populous country in Africa
