I pretty much agree with LH, but I also believe in reincarnation and that we make choices as to what or who we come back to, i.e. parents, etc. Each time there are lessons to be learned.

I also agree with Donuel when he said "I respect premonition and practicing intuitive caution..."

I've always told my kids never to doubt if they seem guided to take an alternate route to work or wherever when driving or in other activities of their days and nights. There were times when we would come upon a pileup of cars and know, had we taken our usual route, we would have been part of the melee. It's just automatic with us all, now. We go the way which *feels* best. One ting else I taught them was to surround anyone in trouble with a healing light, i.e. ambulances, car wreck victims, etc. It doesn't hurt anyone and it may just help.

Fate, to me, is something people use as an excuse...a set-in-stone excuse. If you weren't on that plane, that day, Kendall, you weren't supposed to be...the Great Spirit had other plans for you AND, as LH says, we also may exercise our free will.
