I Asked And I Received.

Tge PhilippinesA 67-year-old American retiree enjoying love and life in the Philippines.
After a long breakup, my newly retired life in newly found southern California seemed lonely and empty. As a gay man, I knew who I was and also knew that my now ex and I needed to move on. All my life I never really worried about my love relationships. They existed and I learned that when it was time to move on, I would be alright.
This time it seemed different. I was in the state I always wanted to be in. It had beautiful weather, a bounty of fresh produce, wine and the always constant ocean and her beach waves. The San Diego Zoo Safari Park was just minutes away. But now, I had no one to share my joys. My ex’s extended family were always there through this difficult time of my regrouping of what to do.
My daily walks allowed me to think about what I really wanted. It was easy now to prioritize and figure it out. I wanted another man who was joyful, had a great sense of humor and wanted to share life and mutual experiences. I knew it was mine somewhere out there! On my morning walk, I said these things as I looking skyward. It was so clear! I deserved what I wanted in another person.
That week, I scrolled through a gay match app, like I was scrolling through a magazine in a dentist’s office. I had no desperate need, I just thumbing through it. A young man contacted me. Friendly and genuine. I didn’t know we would find commonalities aplenty!
We talked twice a day via Skype. His morning in the Philippines was my night in the states, and visa versa. We did this for a year. It was so much fun joking and laughing and it never ceased! I finally agreed I would go to visit him.
The 10 day visit has now gone on to 5+ years! We are thinking about where we will marry, as it’s our mutual desire. I know his extended family and I can say I’m part of this family. My extended family and friends enjoy knowing him as well. Our love for each other is as fresh now as was when it all began.
I’m grateful for understanding the power of the law of attraction and recognizing my intentions. What’s very interesting is that my partner knew this instinctively! We both consider ourselves beautifully blessed. The treasures found in The Secret truly work. Just believe in them.
