The Divine Intervention of Chance
After reading the forward and Introduction to the Divine Intervention of Chance made me feel like this is going to be a heartwarming book. It left me curious about what happened and how Chance healed you. I can't wait to read the book.

‘This is a story of perseverance through tremendous loss and obstacles. It’s a thoughtful exploration of the afterlife. It’s a beautiful adventure into the world of an amazing horse. Lastly, it’s a tale about the strength in the bonds of family.’
- Foreward written by Patricia Schulte-Lueth
I had several profound feelings of Divine Intervention when finding, falling in love with and buying my first horse (Chance) which was a dream come true. Over time, I learned to listen to this guiding force in my life, and it has never steered me wrong or let me down. Chance saved me. I would later save him in return. Whether or not you’re a horse person, I feel this book will give you some helpful life lessons and insights I have learned when dealing with loss, trauma and everyday stressors. I am dedicated to sharing what I have learned and the healing I have received, and the beautiful grace and glory of his spirit.
One of my dearest friends inspired me to write this story. His name is Chance. He has become my best friend. Yes, I admit it. A horse is one of my best friends. He came into my life during a time I was unsure how to go on. The connection with him has opened my heart and mind in such magnificent ways. I don’t know if I will do the story of our meeting justice, but I am sure as hell going to try. We have had such a beautiful bond the past twelve years. It has been devastating for us both the times we have had to deal with illness and losses. The healing and lessons I have learned from this beautiful powerful being will live inside me for the rest of my life. I know that his presence has made me a better person. I did not know in the beginning that a horse would have such a profound impact on my life and path.

It has been a pleasure to call Patricia my dear friend for over 20 years. She is also a wonderful caregiver to my son who has Down Syndrome and my stepdaughter who has Autism. I have seen firsthand how Pat’s compassion for both animals and people is deeply rooted in her soul. She loves big, cares deeply and feels with passion. This will become evident as you read about the joy she felt watching a boy with Autism belly laugh (his grandma said she had never seen even a smile on his face in his eight years of life) as Pat lead him around the horse arena. You will feel the strong love she has for family as she reminisces about fun-filled gatherings packed with family tradition. You will see how her loved ones hold her up during immense grief as she struggles with the death of a loved one. Pat weaves the beauty of nature and the healing powers of animals throughout her book while reminding us that there is magic all around us if we choose to look. I’ve seen Pat work on this book on and off for years. I’m proud that she has accomplished her dream of sharing her beautiful journey.
