      I think people know too. Kids pick up on it faster, but you feel when you're related to everyone in the room with you. I can anyway. It's like a thread feeling. I adore talking to cousins on ancestry though, so who knows.

    My older sister died last month. I keep getting signs that her soul is still with me. Today I was driving into town thinking of her and out of nowhere a rainbow appeared. It hadn't rained that day in our town, perhaps it had farther away. I knew right then that she was with me. I pulled over and burst into tears. What a special person she was!

    We discovered we were cousins!
    I told her about my close relationship with her grandparents.
    I had even been set up as a potential match with her father by her grandmother around 40 yrs ago before he met her mother!
    When i met my cousins father recently he reminded me of us being set up.
    he also told me about meeting my mother when we were kids.

    Karmic connections- we all have and come from large soul families on the other side. The universe knows what it’s doing. So happy for them.

    Wow .. 65,000 population in Eau Claire WI … I was a foreign student going there back in 1974 .. population must be 45,000 or so then .. and student population itself was like 10,000 .. really a nice small city where residents are very friendly .. nobody locked their doors in my neighbourhood 916 Graham Avenue .. strangers would offer to pick you up on a snowy day … $1 all the beer you could drink on Water Street .. beautiful campus … exceptional basketball team which me and my buddy attended practically every home game for 4 years .. Anyway .. really a great sisters meeting up again after all these years .. congrats
