I Found The Man Of My Dreams

I had been divorced since 2005. I had unsuccessfully done the online dating thing for about a year, went on many dates, but never found the right person. I was feeling hopeless, that no single man would want to be with a divorced woman with children, and many men my own age would rather date younger women in their 20s (with no baggage), much to my dismay.
In 2006, I had a dream one night that I was finally with my soul mate and truly happy. I woke up knowing that he was out there somewhere for me, even though I hadn’t met him yet. This dream compelled me to write a poem describing my dream soul mate, how he makes me feel inside, how I felt he was beautiful inside and out, and he felt the same for me. I would look at the poem I wrote often, even shared it with a few close friends and coworkers, who told me that it was good I knew exactly what I was looking for.
At that time in 2006 when I wrote the poem, I was asking the universe for this man, but I wasn’t mentally ready to meet him yet. Although I knew he was out there for me, I had horrible self-esteem at the time and didn’t love myself. Two years later, I realized I had to remove all negativity out of my life, bad habits, and bad people. Then all of a sudden I began to feel better about myself. My self-esteem rose. I still would read my poem to myself every so often to remind myself he was out there somewhere.
I decided to try online dating again, even though it hadn’t worked so well for me before, and suddenly I met my soul mate, the man of my dreams.
We have been together for 2 years now, and recently I have been waiting for his proposal as I know he is the man I want to spend the rest of my life with. I just listened to the audio book of The Secret last week, and not only did I receive a couple checks in the mail but I also received his marriage proposal two days later! We have been engaged for a week now. Thank You!!!
