About

I wrote about reincarnation yesterday. Today I wanted to tell you about a contract between my husband Paul and I that I believe we made before coming to this plane.

When I started dating, I always matched my stride to whomever I was going out with, checking to see if they matched. After going out with many boyfriends, I went out with Paul. We had the same stride! That had never happened before. Now this is not something I would base a marriage on but Paul was different. All my other boyfriends lasted about 3 months then there was a mutual drifting apart. After 3 months with Paul, I knew I wanted to be with him the rest of my life.

There is another side to this story, Paul’s side. Before we met, I had decided to die my hair a dark auburn color (it is usually dishwater brown or dirty blond. Appetizing names right?) I then started to look for a new church. One that I visited and liked had an active singles group of which Paul was a member. So the first time Paul saw me I had red hair. He told me years later that he was looking for someone with red hair like I was looking for someone with the same stride.

Another interesting aspect is that both Paul and I were born in Virginia to Texas parents who moved back to Texas as soon as they could. My family moved to Houston when I was 3 ½ and Paul’s family took a more indirect route through Oklahoma before arriving in Texas. Virginia has always been important to me. People would call me a Texan and I would get very indignant and say, “No, I was a Virginian”.

We took a couple of vacations several years ago that took us through Virginia. Going into the State I had the overwhelming feeling that I was home. When we started heading back out, the closer to the State line we got the harder I cried. There was such grief at leaving and I did not know where it was coming from. This summer I had a past life reading that explained the connection to me. Now I know it was very important for me and for Paul to be born there.
