Synchronicity?

One of my major hobbies is creating unique artisan jewelry. It is actually more than a hobby, it is an obsession, a passion. Of course, using only semiprecious stones and sterling silver, the material is not cheap to come by. So eventually I've started selling my jewelry, to 'recover' some of the money invested in this expensive craft.
There are times when sales are good, and like the last month, not so good.
This evening, after coming home from work, I was feeling kind of down because of no recent sales and low Paypal funds, so I've decided to slow down on making jewelry for a while. On the other hand, I made my first newsletter and sent it out to my existing customers. I just kept thinking a lot about Dawanda tonight.
Soon after got a message on my mobile phone from Dawanda, that a sale just came in. Dawanda has this great feature of sending sms'es to sellers whenever they get a sale. First I was overjoyed, and then started to think...Was it a coincidence? synchronicity? Not sure either way, but while most of us just shrug it off, I file it away with other seemingly small 'things' that happen in my life at times like these, to cheer me up, to make me go on.
And no, the sale was not from an existing customer who got the newsletter today, it was from a new buyer :)
