Written by James Livingood There’s nothing better than finding a coin, face-up, on the ground, right? Whether a penny, dime or quarter, it’s all good, as long as it’s looking up at you. But what if said coin saw something in you that made it lucky for you alone? Would you still want to pick it up?

In Lucky Coin, by James Livingood, you find out if what’s in your heart is good enough to help bring you luck. Sometimes money is spent, other times it’s lost. when a coin is found, it decides if your luck will be one of greatness, mediocrity or someplace in between. This short story shares what happens when money changes everything. It controls both positive and negative aspects according to your heart.

I loved this tale, mainly because it shared that maybe your luck isn’t lucky, but actually controlled. By the choices of others and the purity of your heart. You want for others more than yourself? Good Luck! You want for yourself while not hurting others? Good Luck! Simply trying to survive by hard work alone? Good Luck! Seek to be greedy? Want for selfish reasons and nothing more? Wanting to see others fail... well, we know what happens there.

For me, it was almost like God in a coin. I liked that it said that good things happen to good people- that’s what I love. That’s why I liked Lucky Coin. Check it out for yourself!
