Have you ever thought of someone and can’t get them out of your head– only to run into them in real?

Ever think about someone and suddenly they call or text you? These are not coincidences, but synchronicities.

The universe tries to show us the way through small signs, but the trick is we have to be ready to listen to them.

11.11 is more favoured by women than men

Women see this day as a “retail therapy” session. Most of the sales come from clothes, make-up, and household items.
