Episode 626: Happy Accidents

When an unpleasant hitch seems to ruin your best-laid plans, sometimes, just sometimes, you discover later that it was all for the best. That something better than you could have ever imagined was in store for you. In fact, sometimes these "happy accidents" can lead to amazing outcomes, and sometimes even change your life for the better. On this new episode, we talk about the happy accidents we've experienced in our lives and how we never saw them coming. Write to us here (or send us a voice memo) about your experiences with happy accidents. ------------------------------------- COME TO ROME WITH US: Our third annual Bittersweet Life Roman Adventure is in the books!
