I've changed the background design on my blog to "cityscape Los Angeles" instead of London.  I searched the entire site looking for cityscape Visalia....hmm, not one there.  Go figure.

So, I'm reading this little book called, "Before I Got Here: The Wondrous Things We Hear When We Listen to the Souls of Our Children."  The book is tiny and I read it in one sitting.  The consistent theme is that children choose their parents.  No, those souls saddled with parents who are doozies might think that is NOT what has happened but I find the whole concept most fascinating. 

Of course anything in the realm of reincarnation, the paranormal or supernatural, I have my face in right away.

I love, love, love hearing stories about supernatural (or to me, actually, not super, just natural) experiences.  The unexplained.

Back when I worked for Laura Dern and Billy Bob Thornton, they had a lovely woman working for then from Central America.  She was a hardcore Jehovah's Witness and wouldn't so much as entertain anything having to do with reincarnation.  That was until the day came where an American Indian man showed up to help with a move.  The above referenced woman took one look at this man (who very much identified with his Native American roots) and burst out crying.  I couldn't figure out why she was so upset.  I tried to console her.  She shook her head and informed me that she felt something she didn't understand.

She had no idea why but every time she saw ANYTHING having to do with Native American she was overwhelmed with emotions.  This was unexplainable to her as she had no experience (in this lifetime--me saying that, not her) with Native Americans that would cause such grief.  But the mere sight of this man, with his head pulled back with a leather tie with beads and a feather broke her.  Okay, I confess, if there were anyone who looked like the classic vision of what we would identify as Native American, it was him.

And later he proudly announced his roots.  That day was a form of hell on earth for this poor housekeeper.  She wouldn't agree that there was any such thing as reincarnation but it did make her wonder why she had such strong emotions surrounding America's native people.

I even asked her about Central America's indigenous people....not such feeling about them...not that she had any negative feelings, they just didn't rouse such emotions as our original folks here did.

Would love to hear your experiences with the unexplained...but no negative weirdness please.
