Just saw her driving in Hollywood


I have been going through one of the most difficult and upsetting times in my life recently and came to visit L.A. yesterday. In the midst of my personal problems, I just experienced the coolest synchronicity.

I'm a lifelong Teri Garr fan and have always, always wanted to see her in-person. I had actually been thinking about her earlier today and was stuck in traffic with a friend an hour or two later, when all of the sudden I had the impulse to look out the window. I saw a woman with very beautiful and striking blonde hair and thought it might be someone famous. We pulled up a little closer and to my absolute and utter amazement, sitting there in her white car directly next to us, was Teri Garr.

Needless to say, I was awestruck. I thought about waving to her or shouting "I love you" out the window but didn't want to bother her. She looked truly beautiful, still very pretty and eye-catching. Even at 69, the minute you see her you can tell you're looking at a movie star. It was also nice to see that she is healthy enough to be driving and that the M.S. isn't holding her back. When I think of the chances of running into her like that, especially at a time when I needed something to cheer me up, I can honestly say that it was one of the coolest moments of my life.

From what I've read-she is a very sweet genuine person

I passed by her while she was vacationing in Newport, RI. Very nice person.

I know this was a while back, but I love your story. Very cool. And I totally agree with your take on the whole synchronicity thing. I absolutely believe that you seeing her like that, a person who has made you feel good and positive and cheery in the past, was a pure sign of hope coming your way. Good for you! And Teri Garr definitely has good vibes in her! Thank you for sharing. It brightened my day!

In my 34 years, I have had a ton of these amazing experiences. Yet I still feel like they only happen when my "quality of life" starts to plummet. The universe operates in ways we could never comprehend with our weak human brains, but usually in our favor.

Thanks Wildheart I feel i was there when you saw her that what a real fan does.

I've had very similar experiences for some years now, and they're almost like little puzzle pieces falling into place so that you can see how either everything is connected in some way, or how God (and the universe) work in strange ways. Or something like that. Either way, the whole synchronicity thing is still intriguing as hell and also one of life's fascinating little mysteries.
