I find it fascinating how the world is connected, moreover how people are connected. I am currently reading a book on past life regression through a medical perspective on healing. I have always been someone who experiences a significant amount of coincidences that I may later learn are not of coincidence at all. Today, I was watching Oprah, April 27/ 2010 and her topic was people in this world with the same name and how fate, circumstances, family have carved different paths. I found this topic rather compelling in the compassion of these stories but also in the nature that I feel the suggestion to find the other person in this world with my same name. I think more so today than any other day as I was reading this book earlier this afternoon and they are linked.

So here I am.... following the links... I typed my name in google. The funny thing is that I have always kind of known there is no-one else with MY name. Not many people can say that.....

My name is Merrick Elizabeth Sheridan

I have Irish, English and Scottish roots. I live in the beautiful Rocky Mountains of Canada.

"Merrick" was the middle name of my great grandmother's. Merrick was a surname in the early 1800's in my family in England.

I have a friend who has become very interested in her quest of tracing her family roots. I have many passions and I yet I did not really feel the same compelling desire... until today!

I wish you success in your quest. I am not sure how my post is "related" but life is magical and some of the best things in life come from taking a chance and following your intuition. I believe we are related in so many ways and we are all so different with our own stories and chance to break out of what's laid out for us!

Again, best of wishes in your journey.
