Odd Synchro

This one is from Carol Bowman, author of Children’s Past Lives and Return from Heaven.

Every Christmas, Carol’s editor at Harper Collins, Larry Ashmead, would give out a notebook filled with photocopies of weird newspaper articles, letters, and photos. Carol’s husband, Steve, was cleaning out their attic and and came across one of the notebooks. He had it on the kitchen table for them to look at.

“After we read a page, we used it for paper on the floor of our bird’s cage. Steve came up to my office late this afternoon. I was on FB and showed him this article about a French woman who lived to be 122 (or close to that). When she was 90, a lawyer agreed to buy her apartment for 2500 euros a month for the duration of her life. The lawyer was 47 at the time. The lawyer ended up dying at 77, and the woman lived on. The lawyer’s widow had to keep paying the old woman because they had a contract, which stated they had to pay her until she died.”

Steve went back downstairs and looked at Larry’s notebook. It was opened up to the story of the French woman from an article from the year 2000.

What are the odds?

Carol felt it didn’t have any particular meaning. But my take is different. I think it refers to the new book she’s starting.

Here’s the story about the French woman.
