"We have come together, you and I, many times before; each bringing to the other the exact and perfect opportunity to express and to experience Who We Really Are."

       -- Neale Donald Walsch

Aaaaahhh soul mates, one of the most misunderstood concepts in spiritual work. My belief is that a soul mate is anyone who enables your soul to evolve and grow - and that includes learning forgiveness, humility as well as love.

One of the first important soul mates I encountered was the publisher of a woman's magazine in England, and I was one of their beauty editors. She pulled me aside one day, and reminded me, "Georgina, you have one brain, and it's a good one... don't addle it!" At the time I was - shall I say - a strong affectionado of Malt Scotch - and hanging out with the other journalists at the press club. I didn't like what she said, but realized later, that she recognized something in me and wanted to be helpful. And she was. My soul mate who reminded me to honour and respect my mind and body.

Think about who has made you think harder, grow stronger, love and laugh louder, listen quieter, and be kinder, first to yourself, and then to others. These people, your soul mates, share in this life and other lifetimes to help you become your magnificent self.  And that's also your soul role for others.  Yes, we are so much more than 

we seem. Soul mates all.

Namaste, 

P.S. Bravo!  The U.S. has finally caught up to us and made same sex-marriage legal....and just marriage.
