1. Diamonds in Disguise
My mother-in-law once gave me an old, dusty sewing machine. Years later, after my husband walked out leaving me with nothing, she revealed a hidden secret inside it—real diamonds! We sold them and used the money to start fresh, moving to France and building a new life.
2. Beginner’s Luck on the Lake
My wife had never fished before, but her very first cast landed just inches from her feet—right into the open mouth of a massive bass. Meanwhile, I was there with my expensive gear, catching absolutely nothing. Sometimes, beginner’s luck is real.
3. The Grade with Cat Fur
I was on the edge of losing my scholarship because of a few missing points. One day, my professor noticed cat fur on my sweater. When I mentioned I had three cats at home, he smiled and gave me the grade I needed. It was a small gesture, but it changed my whole semester.
4. A Fortunate Find in the Snow
Struggling and broke, I found $50 lying in the snow one cold winter day. I waited an hour for someone to claim it—but no one came. That unexpected cash bought me gas and food, and honestly, it felt like a turning point in my life.
5. Cash on the Riverbank
One summer, while feeling down about not affording a festival ticket, I stumbled upon £160 lying on the riverbank. It was a perfect moment of right place, right time. Sometimes, luck finds us when we least expect it.
