Thinking About Soul Mates

Soul mates are about work, not play. The word “soul” opens a gigantic can of karma. While dating and light relationships are all about fun and playfulness, soul mates are all about deep emotional support, trust and faith. When you choose to go deeper with someone, you’re opening yourself up — you become emotionally vulnerable. Susan Strong, San Mateo-based astrologer and metaphysical counselor jokes, “Sometimes our soul mates become our cross to bear. You marry someone who is your soul mate and, over time, you realize you’re connected not just through chemistry, but because you are there to help each other.”

To love someone and be loved is a deeply spiritual state. [I never thought about it like this before, while at the same time realizing there is no assurance that a soul mate is for life. Just learning from the other person is the gift.]


Maybe I am ready to work now!
Thinking about Eternity while living in the present- the human condition.

Hi there,

My name is Daphne and I'm a producer with CNN iReport, the user-generated section of CNN.com. I saw your blog about Brazzaville and wanted to reach out.

We are doing a project to get photos and video from every country in the world, in an effort to educate our audience about some of the lesser-known parts of the globe.

We are down to 6 countries – including the Republic of Congo. (Learn more about the project at www.cnn.com/globalchallenge)

I wondered if you would share an iReport about life there? You would retain rights to your work, and if they are used on CNN or CNN.com, you would be credited by full name.

Here is the link to upload: http://on.cnn.com/b5Fc13. You just have to click on “Share Your Story” button.

Thanks for listening, and I hope to hear from you. Feel free to email me at daphne.sashin@turner.com.
