Your Baby's Soul


Your baby’s soul is their life essence, and it has a mission that is unique to them.¹ That’s why they need to be born at the right time and in the right place so they can do what they need to do for the planet.  They have special talents they bring with them that this world desperately needs, and they have other souls around the world with whom they need to connect in order to fulfill their divine plan.²

Some souls try their best to communicate with you—or anyone who will listen to them—to let you know that this is their time, and they are determined to get here and make their mark.³

Alex’s Story

A couple of years ago I was at my sister’s house, looking at the new black and white pictures of her two kids that she had blown up and framed. They fit perfectly on the wall between the window and the fireplace in the living room, without an inch to spare on either side. She was excited about them.  As I was standing there thinking how cute they both looked, I saw something sparkling up to the right of the pictures. It was like a 4th of July sparkler, but clear light, not any color.

I was really surprised, and it stayed there for a minute, just sparkling and then I heard a child’s voice say, “I’ll be there soon!”  I didn’t know what to say or do, so I sent a loud thought back to it, “OK!” And then, the sparkling sphere disappeared, but it still felt a little sparkly in the room. Since my sister was in the hall, I shouted, “They look great! But what are you going to do when the third one gets here?”

She ran into the living room and said, “What third one? What are you talking about? We’re done.  We’re not having any more kids.”  I said, “Well, I just saw a sparkling soul or something that told me they were coming soon!”  She said, “Uh huh. Whatever. We’re not having any more kids.”

Three months later, she called me up and said, “I’m pregnant. We can’t believe it. Whoever this is, you’re going to be the godmother.”
Later that year, Logan was born, and I was his godmother. He’s really cute and smart and when he’s older, I’ll tell him how I saw him sparkling in the corner to let me know he was on his way. It will be interesting to see what he does when he’s older.
