In the midst of the only Friday the 13th slated for the year 2008, cross in front of those black cats and shatter those mirrors with abandon — Dutch statisticians have cleared the unlucky rep. They've found that Fridays that fall on the 13th
are actually safer than their 51 non-spooky cousins. The study shows that fewer accidents and reports of fire and theft occur on the big day than any other — and they're not sure just why.

Since I'm so traditional, you probably won't be surprised to hear that I consider it
bad luck for the bride and groom to see each other before the wedding ceremony. Of course some couples don't believe in that old-wives tale, and I'm sure those that do get a peek or even share a moment together before their walk down the aisle still live happily ever after. I'm just too superstitious to chance it.

Happy St. Patrick's Day! Since the four-leaf clover is one of the mascots for this holiday, I thought it would be a good time to talk about luck!

I've always felt that things happen for a reason. Whether you're experiencing good times or bad, I feel that there's some sort of hidden lesson or purpose in every circumstance. I learn so much from every experience I go through, and oftentimes I find that I grow and mature the most when something unbearable happens.
Do you believe in luck? Do you have friends that always have luck on their side, people that seem to constantly strike it rich in the
casinos for example, or do you know more people that you would consider totally unlucky, aka, when
it rains it pours? I am sure we all know both kinds of people, but is there one specific person's luck that you envy?

Ever since I could remember, I've been "knocking on wood." I learned it from my mother actually - she is an avid wood knocker. It's something we do to prevent something bad from happening.
