Well, to continue with my story about my destiny!  It seems I was unawares of a little fact til after I met my fiance.   I finally had told my ex-husband that I had met someone else and about to get married again.  When I told him my fiance is from England.  He was abnormally shocked and not so surprised. It was when he finally told me why.  He said that when we had first been married 9 years ago that in my sleep I would talk about England.  Imagine my shock! That is another piece of divine nature intervening on my behalf.  Who knows why I was doing that back then. As far as I recall, I don't remember watching any shows about England at the time. But to top it all off, my ex chose not to tell me til recently.  I asked him why. He said he was afraid that I would run off to England so soon after our wedding.   Who knows what I would have done??

I really feel like it is my ancestors calling to me from deep within my genetic blueprint to go back home to England.  And that urge is getting stronger the closer my fiance gets to closing the contract.  One more week and it is done.  The next three months will be quite a ride as he and I get ready for our wedding day, and then we have to take another business trip to Dubai which will double as our honeymoon after he concludes his business there.  All of that won't leave me much time to get settled in our new home until we get back from the trip.  Once back, then I will take my time getting our house decorated the way I want for our family.

Another reason that my destiny is leading me to England is my career. I just started a freelance graphic design career. And the UK is crying out for those to fill that position. It is in high demand. I won't have no trouble finding a job there.  I can be entry-level or what they call a junior designer until I feel comfortable enough to branch out on my own in my home. But that will wait. I told my fiance that I won't work for at least six months until we are settled in our new routine and I am used to the time difference. My body will have to adjust to jumping ahead 6 hours. That will be rough. All I know is that my fiance and I have trust and faith in God to see us thru our trials and to help us merge our lives together.

Hi Lovely blokes and gals!
 I thought I would introduce myself to the world of blogging.  I am now realizing this is a step up for readers of these posts from actually reading a hardback book.  I will start off by telling why I feeling British. I just met the most wonderful man from London, England to whom I am engaged to for almost 10 months now.  

But our journey didn't start out rosy.  You see, when we first met, we did feel that passionate chemistry only spoken of in romance novels or in movies like Sleepless in Seattle.  I just know when he is bout leaving work or bout home when I would get this passionate feeling towards him.  The feeling gets so strong and it is right on the nail.  We just knew that we were destined for each other, and made for each other. But he works for a company that buys and sells refurbished medical equipment and he has to sit on a contract before he can bring me home to Britain.  Oh such agony to wait for my Lancelot to bring me home!

Actually, my journey towards meeting him started long before that! And it wasn't til a few months after I met him that I realized how far back my destiny was set for me.  My maternal grandmother was American-born but of British upbringing when her father, my grandfather, came to America from England.  One time she took a trip with her husband to London and brought back one of those palace guard dolls for a souvenir to me of which I still have to this day.  And later on during my elementary school years, I was spelling words in the British sense like "colour" instead of "color".   Bless my teachers' hearts for trying to correct me!!

My paternal grandmother is so passionate about our family history and she has done a lot of work and research over the years to find the connections.  I am descended from my ancestors in Germany, England, and supposedly Scotland.  We are still trying to find the missing link to Scotland.  So, one day, I knew that I would have to go to Scotland and find the link there since we can't find it here.  But all that would have taken money.  So, I prayed to God that He would help me get there.  Read on! There is more to why my destiny started way before.

Then later on in my adult life as of about 4 years ago,  my accent started to change a little. I have had people ask me where I was from and when I would ask why, they say I sounded like I was English. Imagine that! I had been married for 9 years before I had had enough of living with an alcoholic when I realized that I deserved better.  So much that I prayed to God to help me find a man who doesn't smoke, doesn't drink alcohol, and also goes to church since I couldn't get my ex to do the above-mentioned.  I prayed that I would find a family who would accept me whole-heartedly and love and respect me for who I am.  So imagine my surprise when shortly after my divorce when I was introduced to the man of my dreams from London, England!

He was married before his late wife died from a car accident almost three years ago.  He has a daughter from that union who is in college right now.  From what they told me, he at first didn't want to find anybody else.  Then his sweet daughter made him go out and find a wife.  He had found two women who didn't suit his type he wanted to marry.  His daughter had a say in it too since his future wife will be her mother.  They fell in love with me and I with them. Shortly after meeting me, he had a visit from his late wife who told him that I was the one.  And just recently, his daughter told me I behave exactly like her.  He told me she was left-handed as I am also.  He and I are both the same height. Lately, tv shows would point to London also.  There were so many coincidences that were adding up.  So, there you have it! See how it all came together for me and my destiny! I know God has a hand in this journey I am on.
