It all turned out exactly as it needed to. It turned out the young woman would have broken up with me even if I was an hour early. There were some daddy issues involved. Her father ordered her to break up with me. And she was only doing karmic payback because I had dumped her in at least two other lives. And I needed that heartbreak because it got me to finally get the hell out of Texas. I traveled the country for two and a half years having incredible adventures. Then I ended up back in Texas and we got back together and got married. It was after we got married that I learned that she suffered from arachnophobia.

Then after over twenty years of marriage she dumped me one more time. Final karmic score: Me 2, Her 2. All karmic debt was paid. In hindsight I realized that the two times she dumped me were two of the very greatest gifts I ever received from anyone in this life. I think we must have planned it this way.

The other piece of karma was our daughter. She had been our daughter in three other lives and in all three of those lives she died as a small child. This life was our chance to make sure she survived childhood and lived a long happy life. On this karmic account we got it right this time. We settled a lot of karma in this life. It feels so wonderful to have released our personal karma.

On a side note, our daughter also suffers from arachnophobia as does one of her daughters. Not me, though. After what I saw on that Texas back-country road no little spider is gonna scare me.
