I am…

Seeing the Same Word Over and Over?
Do certain words seem to follow you no matter where you look? Psychologist William Braud actually conducted experiments to figure out whether the word coincidences he was experiencing were actually due to more than chance or selective attention.

Synchronicity and Personal Transformation: My Interview with Mike Clelland
