I heard that song recently and it’s stuck in my head and won’t go away. You know how that feels? No matter what you do the song won’t leave you alone. So I considered it a sign from the universe and I had to write that “it’s a small world, after all.”

Have you ever heard of the concept of “six degrees of separation”? The idea behind it is that you can get to anybody in the world through just six persons or less. I don’t think you have to know them all, it could be a friend of a friend and so on. I wonder if it would work? You can never tell. Let me know what you think. Have you ever tried it and if so did it work? If you try it now let me know how it turned out. Do you really think I could get to the queen of England through six other persons? 🤣 It doesn’t have to be the queen 😃. It could be Desmond Tutu or the emperor of Japan. I wonder….

My mom used to say it’s a small world so be careful what you say to and about people, as you don’t know who knows who. That is so true as I have seen, time and time again. True story, one day my family and I are in the supermarket and my husband and I both wave to the same person. I didn’t know my husband knew the person and he didn’t know I knew the person. The guy comes over and says, I didn’t know you guys knew each other. We just laughed and said we been married for years. Small world.

I remember going to visit a friend in Barcelona, Spain and we were supposed to go out to dinner but he had to wait on some friends. Door bell rings, and I turned around to see someone I know walk in. Our reactions were the same “what are you doing here?” I didn’t even know they were friends. He didn’t know I knew the other guy. They were doing a MBA together. He was also a good friend, husband’s cousin. 😂. For real. I found that out after he and I became friends. Small world.

There are so many more stories I could tell but I know you get the picture. It’s very important to ensure that you are careful what you say about persons, better yet just don’t bother talking about them at all if they get on your nerves. It means less stress in your life as you don’t have to think about them at all. I know it’s hard as sometimes we need to vent, but be careful who is the sounding board or it can be a very embarrassing situation. I always remember what my mom said and that’s why I haven’t embarrassed myself, or see people try to give me a real ass whopping because I spoke out about someone to the “wrong person.” It would not be pretty. There are some crazy people out there. 😉

I would love to get your views and stories on how small the world is. Let me know via any medium.

See you next Wednesday at 8:00 pm.
