  “I was hit by a car three years ago while crossing the service road in a shopping center. The driver never saw me. I went flying! Luckily I sustained injuries, like broken ribs, that would heal in time. My head wasn’t hit, which was my biggest fear. That was definitely a wake-up call for me. I was very lucky it wasn't worse. Someone was definitely looking out for me that day!” Pam Anderson

  “By serendipity / timing / God's angels, I'm blessed to have so many “lucky” times. One of the moments, by sheer happenstance, was to run into Johnny Cash in 1986 in the small lobby of a quaint LA hotel when a guy stood me up. June Carter was the woman next to him. I didn't realize how special that luck was until 25 years later.” Lesley Ann Milne
