My interview with EM

Ok you know the rules so will jump in with questions and answers
1. Do you believe in reincarnation?

Most definately.It is the only thing that makes sence. I just don't know why western religions do not embrace it. Well I think I do but that is another long topic. But for me it explains so much. I believe our souls are eternal. We choose the incarnation that we are in to learn lessons and maybe to help others learn their lessons. I heard something once that has stuck with me about our soul and relationship with God. Imagine God as the heart of a sparkler, you know like the one that kids play with on the 4th of July. He is this center of light, and all the tiny little bits of light are us. We are individual yet a part of the center light or God. I think that is the message that churches don't want us to believe, that we are a part of God not just lead by God. Anyway I think reincarnation explains many things like homosexuality. Think of it, if our souls are of both sexes or no sex, just pure light and energy, then when we incarnate we can be what ever we want to be for that life. Also all the tragic things in the world can be explained, why people suffer, die young, bad people live long life, while good people die early. IT is all for a reason, Well I could go on and on. But you get my meaning. It is a subject I have discussed with very few people.

2. If you were to choose a new career what would it be?

That is funny because other than a highschool dream to be in the Air Force, I never thought I would have a career. I grew up in the middle of the era of Suzy Homemaker, where you got married, stayed home and raised the kids, and the Career woman imagine. I never intended to end up being an RN and working all my life. I sort of fell into nursing. Back in 72 I was working as an aide in a little bording home and the gal that ran it was studying to be an LPN. She was the one who influenced me by telling me I could do this too and told me how to apply and how to get a grant to help pay for the class. So the rest is history. I went back to school in 86 to get my RN degree. So I guess you could say I am an accidental RN. For someone who never intended to work for a living I have worked pretty hard. So I guess I have no skills for any other career. Just looking at winding down now and would like to do some traveling someday and take some more college classes, for fun. Would love to take a course in Mythology and have thought of taking classes in holistic health/nutrition.

3.Discribe how your close friends view you and how accurate are they?

Well to be real honest, I have never felt I had many close friends. I have alot of "friends" But I have moved so many times in my life it has been hard to get very close to anyone. I guess the "best" friends are the ones you grew up with who knew you as you were developing who you are. But as years pass those become distant and the miles make it hard to keep up. The current friends would mostly be the people I have worked with for 6 years. A couple I have shared confidences with. I think they see me as honest, mature, dependable, sometimes to dependable, and independant. I think that is how I view myself also. But I have to say that I do have a sadness that I don't have that close girlfriend relationship with anyone. I feel that I have missed out on something.

4. Discribe a single event that has had a profound effect on your life.

In Nov.1978, my husband told me he was cheating on me with a woman that I thought was my friend. I still remember the feeling in my gut that was a physical pain. That moment changed my world forever. I am not saying we had a perfect marriage, but I had assumed we would stick together forever. We were married 14 years. I had trusted him completely and never ever dreamed that I would ever be divorced. But the resulting divorce was one of those blessings in disguise. Because thru all the pain you do grow and it has shaped me to be who I am today. When I was dating my AC, I asked him what attracted me to him, and I was amazed that he said that he saw me as an independant woman who was not out trying to find a man who could do maintance on her car. {Well guess who does maintance on my car} ha ha.

5 How did you and AC meet and fall in love?

OK now you are really going to get personal aren't you? Well your mother was in on it. In the spring after school was out I moved from Ia to So. Mo. Both of my sisters lived there and I didn't know where else to go, but had to get away . I was there about 6 mo. and I got set up on a blind date. Your mother was working with a gal in a resturant, This gal, Mary had a boyfriend named Chuck, Chuck had a friend named AC. Guess Chuck looked out for AC and they found out that your Mom had a sister who was not attached. So they all fixed us up. So it was 3 couples. Your Mom and her guy, Mary and Chuck and AC and I. Cross my heart, it was my first date since I was 16. I still get teased that I didn't even know what to order to drink. So I was given a wine cooler. Later I bought cowboy boots and we learned to two step and went dancing alot. I firmly believe that we were matched by design, {or I was just ready and would have fallen in love with anyone ha ha]. But I don't think I am the type that could have dated around alot. All I can say is that I am so glad I found him before I reached my peak!!! Shocked huh? I had always been atracted to "older"men for some reason. And he is 15 years older. It just seemed that we met each others needs completely. He had been married once 20 years before for a short time. So he had been a bachalor for along time. Took over a year to get him to marry me. So that is my story. I have slept with 2 men and married to both. Sounds pretty dull huh?

Thanks for your questions, they were very thought provoking. I am working on questions for HG>
