[first lines]
Emmie : [narrating] Some people say that before you're born you agree to a spiritual contract. You decide the circumstances of your life and relationships with your spirit peers, so that you can all learn something. Something that will help you evolve as a human being.
Emmie : I can just imagine us, sitting at the Akashic café, sipping coffee, deciding what we'll do this time around. And I said, "I know, I'll be your mother and I'll let you eat ice cream for breakfast." And she said, "No, how about this? I'll be your mother and I'll be a drug addict." And then we tossed a coin to see who won.
