This is how it happened. Late night, I was at a party in Vienna. One of those frequented by the fashion crowd. I had a few drinks, and for the first time (and last) I was a bit high, and needed desperately a bathroom. And I wandered into a room in search of one, and instead I ended up in a private atelier: uninvited. Then I ran into this mysterious artist painter, enraged by my intrusion. How embarrassed I was…I just wanted to hide somewhere. And after apologising, I asked him to call me a taxi. But to my surprise, instead of doing so and getting it over with me, a total stranger, he offered me a glass of fresh water…And this was it. The very reason I’m telling you my story today…

If he had called me a taxi, and I had gone home, it would have been just one of those silly days in Vienna. And none of this would have happened. But he hadn’t, and my life had changed forever.

Some say this is destiny. Or fate. Do you have one of those moments like this, that changed your life forever? If you do, please do share it with me here. I would be most happy to hear from you. Yes, you. I want to hear your story.
