Q & A with Dorothy Thompson

Q & A with Dorothy Thompson

I've had many people ask me questions about the soul mate experience, but I'd like to take the time now to answer those questions that people ask me about how I became involved in the first place. This will be an ongoing series here in which I will answer whatever questions you have for me and hope that it will help you understand why I'm on this mission. If you have a question you would like to ask for a future "Q & A with Dorothy Thompson" regarding my experiences with the soul mate phenomenon, email me at thewriterslife (at) yahoo.com and your answers will appear on this blog at a future date. Here are just a few questions to whet your appetite for more!

Q: How do you know so much about soul mates?

A: Insight. An incredible amount of insight. I think that when one experiences things in life to the point where it becomes so much a part of their life, they pick up on some incredible information which evolves from this experience. I don’t know any other way of explaining it. It’s a gift and one in which I want to share and, hopefully, save a few people from making earth-shattering mistakes not only in their relationships, but in their own personal lives, too.

Q: Have you always believed in soul mates?

A: I was like most people out there, unsure if what I was experiencing was the real thing. I believed that there was someone out there and that person would be my knight in shining armor. Boy, was I wrong. I made many mistakes, but it’s those mistakes which I have learned from and today, I have found my companion soul mate and am very happy. But, if my twin soul hadn’t entered my life years ago, I would never have become enlightened to what the twin soul experience is all about and it’s not what most people think it is.

Q: You speak of having a companion soul mate, but then a twin soul. Aren't they one and the same?

A: A companion soul mate is different from your twin soul. They are but two of the three kinds of soul mates that enter your life. The karmic soul mate is the third.

In my life, they are two different people, but yet they are two different people that were meant to come into my life. Between them both, they have given me incredible insight on what the soul mate experience is all about so I can share it with you.

Q: Where is your twin soul now?

A: My twin soul died in 2001, the same week the terrorists attacked New York City and Washington, D.C. Mixed emotions that week, for sure. He was the inspiration for my latest book, Romancing the Soul.

Q: What do you think people think the soul mate relationship is all about and how is this different from your own views?

A: In my experience, most people think that there is only one out there for you and that person is the one who you marry. While this is true in some cases, what about those soul mates out there that you don’t marry? We can’t sweep them under the rug like they don’t exist, can we? I believe that we have many soul mates and each one has a purpose in our lives. Some we have deep friendship with, some we marry and some are just special people who make impacts on our lives.

Q: How would you describe a soul mate?

A: A soul mate is someone very special who comes into your life to give it new meaning. Their appearance isn’t coincidental. Timing plays a huge factor in when a certain soul mate shows up. It just depends on which road in life you are on.

Q: Do you think we all have soul mates?

A: Of course! That’s what my book, Romancing the Soul, is all about – exploiting the myths and making people realize that everyone has a soul mate.

Q: What do you say to people who feel frustrated that they haven’t met their soul mate yet?

A: I tell them to not worry about it. If you actively pursue a “soul mate,” it’s only because you feel a void in your life. Accept happiness into your life by doing things for yourself – things that make you happy. If you want someone to love you, become the person someone would want to love and the only way you can do that is to love yourself first.

Q: I understand that you have an ebook about soul mates, too. Can you tell me where it's sold?

A: My ebook, How to Find and Keep Your Soul Mate, is only available for download on my website. The price is only $4.99! Thanks for asking!

Q: Will you have more books coming out in the future?

A: Sure! I am presently in the final stages of writing a nonfiction relationship book focusing on the soul mate relationship which should be finished by the end of the year.
