Sweet Serendipity

So for weeks, I have been searching for a name for my blog page - wanting it to be something with meaning, significance.  Something with relevance to my life as a children’s writer and newly started blogger.  But something sort of fun and whimsical.  
Serendipity is my all time favorite word so I’ve been trying to find a way to use that in the name.  I’ve been asking friends for ideas (and getting lots of great ones).  But, to quote the beloved Bono, “I still haven’t found what I’m looking for”.  
And then what to my wondering ears do I hear?  There on XM Radio - last season’s American Idol winner with the words I’ve been searching for: Lee DeWyze is singing my song - Sweet Serendipity.  
Now I don’t mean this offensively - but, how is it that these practically teeny-bopper, idol-ish,  pop stars can peg my 41 year old trials (Miley Cyrus with The Climb), my tribulations  (Everlast with What Its Like) and now - my sweetly serendipitous life by Lee DeWyze?  
Maybe I just need to acknowledge that good things can come from the most random of places - and be happy with that!
