Pass Me A Fortune, Cookie...

Greetings, Gifted Reader!

Here’s to good fortune in your life right now. Speaking of fortune, an old friend treated Gypsy Stars and her sister to a wonderful Chinese dinner tonight. And, of course, our meal included fortune cookies.


Exactly how did fortune cookies come into existence? According to the website link below, no one really knows:


Although Wikipedia begs to differ:


What Gypsy Stars does know is that she loves reading fortunes and even collects them—pasting them into a calendar notebook and checking to see whether or not those fortunes ever come true. How about you?

Not long ago, a Bay Area friend made plans to visit Gypsy Stars and her mother. For some unfathomable reason, Mom thought homemade fortune cookies were warranted. After baking the tasty treats, naturally, Mom commissioned Gypsy Stars to write the fortunes.

Here are some samples:

You will have a prosperous future.

Your life is going to become so much better soon!

An unexpected windfall will make you wealthy.

A life of pleasure and good treasure awaits you.

What you’ve always wanted will soon manifest.

You will hear good news immediately!

Your life is about to change for the good.

Three of your top wishes will come true tomorrow.

You will soon fall madly in love with a wonderful person.

In your life, you will be both rich and famous.

Good luck is coming your way in three days!

You are about to hit the jackpot.

Make a wish. It will come true.

The irony is that the friend cancelled her trip at the last minute and Gypsy Stars and her family were forced to enjoy all the cookies and good fortunes themselves.

What's the best fortune you ever received? Drop us a line at gypsystars@me.com and let us know!


In the photos above, Gypsy Stars enjoys finding good fortune in Vancouver, B.C.'s Chinatown. Cheerio!
