For a couple of new moons I searched for artists and through some lucky connections found my artist, Jai Granofsky.
This is exactly what happened when I leveraged 4 or 5 lucky connections to get a job hosting a TV show, then parlayed that into interviewing Shark Tank star Lori Greiner.
His wife, my sister-in-law, only listed the same school his sisters attended in her options for where he was to go, offering no alternatives, and she's got lucky – the sibling connection has proved telling this time around, and he won't have to begin his education over three miles away from where he "should" be.
Mr. Emanuel said he was lucky that, through personal connections, a general in Iraq had learned of his product.
But unless you're very lucky or have great connections, you can probably forget about Wall Street, investment banks, publishing and telecommunications.
But, as a passenger on the First Great Western railway trundles, the journey takes somewhere between two and a half and five hours, depending on how lucky one is with connections, and assuming one chooses to travel on a day when rail workers are not conducting one of a planned series of twenty-four-hour strikes, when it promises to take considerably longer.
Possibly, if we behaved more like a healthy, outgoing individual as a nation and took account of others' opinions of us then we might get more help, feel more part of the world community and be more lucky, make those chance connections that can change our lives, move outside the rigid habits and assumptions that reassure but also trap us.
We're lucky Grindr facilitates these connections.
I thank my lucky stars every day for that connection -- my Internet Connection.
There might be a form of serendipity involved, a lucky moment in which the connection of the right hunches happens almost magically.
