Saved by WA, It’s Double Serendipity!
Occasionally lightning strikes out of nowhere, and good fortune lands in your lap.
Ladies and Gents, that’s exactly what happened today.
WA’ers have come to my rescue; once again I’ve been saved by WA, and its double serendipity!
And I simply couldn’t be more thrilled!
Check out the cool image above.
Very artistic, and pretty cool right?
This was the perfect image that I needed for my new website.
But I never would have imagined this.
If not for serendipity, I never could have produced this artistic creation.
It’s Double Serendipity
The definition of serendipity is “…the occurrence and development of events by chance in a happy or beneficial way.”
Or as I used to say, one’s penchant for arriving at fortunate accidents.
Serendipity is when someone accidently finds something good, such as a twenty dollar bill in a pair of jeans you haven't worn in quite a while.
What happened yesterday was SO much better.
It was Double Serendipity.
For the past 2 days I’ve needed to create a special photo with a white background in Photoshop to place the finishing touches on my new MMO website.
I found a great photo to use but needed to extract the dark busy background behind the image so it could blend in with a pure white background on my landing page.
Except I encountered a major obstacle: I don’t have Photoshop installed on my computer, it is on Felicia’s iMac but she has been equally busy so I didn’t have access to it.
So my progress was temporarily halted.
So close, yet so far......
Indeed, I was both frustrated and flummoxed.
Photopea to the Rescue
That’s when yesterday while taking a break from my work, I stumbled upon a blog post while going through my WA email notifications, haphazardly clicking around.
Pedro wrote this GREAT post about he how he has been using this program Photopea – a FREE program which ironically HE also stumbled upon while working on a computer that didn’t have Photoshop.
WHAM-O!!! There was the solution right between the eyes!
That’s exactly the solution I needed, except I never would have known it.
If it wasn’t for Pedro.
Here is the link, Photopea is Great.
Thanks Pedro, and Wealthy Affiliate!
Personally, I’d like to send out a Big Thank You to Pedro for writing his most timely post and exposing me to this extremely useful tool Photopea yesterday, it couldn’t have been delivered with better timing!
Pedro’s well-timed recommendation allowed me to be able to “play” around with my original photo in Photopea and solve my issue….
And that’s right, if not for further serendipity (shall we call it triple?) I would never have been able to come up with this fabulous artistic creation!
It was just what I needed.
If we simply open our eyes and tune in our senses, there are great things all around us.
Yes My Friends, everyday there are opportunities standing right in front of us.
We need to allow ourselves to take it all in.
All the Best in Finding Yours.
Cheers,
Kaju

All that Guitar Playing is messing with your brain (in a good way haha)!
This seems like a wonderful co-incidence to me!
Another great program (if you're ever interested in checking it out) is called "GIMP".
It is free to use and 'Open Source". It works on Mac, I believe.
If not, then continue to use the wonderful program you have discovered!
By the way: That picture looks great! I wanna go out and get me a Fender now! haha
Thank you for sharing this info with the rest of us, it is of great help!
