Today binNotes gets personal…
I’m a planner.
So at the start of this year, when someone asked me to name my New’s Year resolution,
I announced unexpectedly:
“To allow serendipity a place at the table in 2015.”
Serendipity.
An unexpected guest in 2015 indeed.
But truly entertaining, this new-found patron saint of 2015 I invoke whenever I feel a case of ‘To-Do List” coming on.
“Come on in and sit yourself down, Ms. Sere N. Dipity,”
I’ll say, stuffing my checklist back into my bag.
And in she swoops, aflutter in tutu and glitter and jewels and apron,
(not sure why, but she always wears a chef’s apron…)
sprinkling her magic like cocoa dust,
serving up sweet incidents of the unexpected like dessert at the most unusual hours,
introducing me to colorful new acquaintances and intoxicating experiences,
beckoning me to open unconsidered doors and follow unconventional paths,
her infectious giggle a beacon in the dark, a bolt of light in the day.
Serendipity.
A stranger turned true friend,
her incidents of generosity and abundance of spirit too great to list…
and besides –
she’s not a list person.
But I think I know where she lives…
Sonoma.
More later this week on Sonoma’s food and wine scene…
