You are right on Rebecca!
Maybe you read maybe not, but I would recommend to look for Lynne McTaggart's books, THE FIELD and THE INTENTION EXPERIMENT.

There are many books on the subject, but these are the ones that i am reading at the moment, and there are many things in there which make sense. Some of them happened to me, many years ago. and since then I always knew there is more to life than just flesh and blood. There are no coincidences, I've never believed in such things as "chance" or "luck". If we pay attention to our actions then we would be able to see how we affect things around us, not always the way we want on a conscious level, but it happens. Well... I'll stop here because I get carried away...
