The Chance of a Lifetime
Several blocks from my home is a beautiful park nestled among a stand of cottonwood trees.
A pagoda sits next to a fountain in the park, and in the early mornings following my exercise routine I often find myself gravitating towards the gurgling water of the fountain and the comfortable oak benches under the pagoda.
It seems like only yesterday, but less than three years ago a chance meeting with a young entrepreneur changed my life. I remember he was sitting on my favorite park bench. His back was turned towards me and I could see that he was typing on a laptop computer.
I hesitated, and turned to walk away. Water gently lapped into the small pool beneath the fountain. I looked over my shoulder to the young man on the bench and shrugged my shoulders in resignation.
The events that followed changed my life…
