Unfinished Business

I have felt that my life, since age 14, has been a series of coincidental incidents. I have said many times, “Life gives one glimpses into the future if you pay attention to and acknowledge the signs”! For example, at age 14, I met my future mother-in-law and some how “knew” she would be an important part of my life. Twenty-five years later, I married her son. True story. I have experienced many situations like this in my life but only put a name to it when I read your book about SynchroDestiny. I now believe nothing is coincidence, it’s all part of the grand plan designed for us by G&d. My question for you is this: Is there a concept of “unfinished destiny”? I ask because I have someone in my life who is becoming more important to me and I wonder if we have an unfinished destiny to explore. Do you believe this is possible?

Doing Shadow Work to Eliminate Old Patterns

I feel I am at a crossroads in my life. I am 57 and have two children one who is married and the other who is about to leave to live in her own apartment. I divorced my husband around 20 years ago after suffering a lot of mental cruelty. I separated from my last partner two years ago after nearly 14 years together as I felt I was losing my identity in our relationship. I recently left my job as I suffered bullying at work and could not stand it anymore. I am hopeful of a better future but I feel I have hit rock bottom and do not want to repeat my old mistakes. However I feel that I have not learned anything and will somehow make another bad decision. Have you any suggestions for me that might help. I have read your book the Seven Spiritual Laws of Success many times and find great peace within.
