I Walked With You Once Upon a Dream.

Tampa, FLI'm a 26 year old graduate student in Tampa and a strong believer in the LOA!
First, thank you Rhonda and the team for all the work you’ve done to help people change their lives for the better. I am truly grateful and happy to say that so many wonderful things have come to me because of reading your books! Thank you!
This is an incredible story of how my soul mate Merin and I, attracted each other into our lives.
First, let me begin with my back story:
My whole life I’ve wanted to find my soul mate. As you can probably guess, I’ve had a long history of failed relationships. When my most recent ex-boyfriend and I broke up in February 2014, I was devastated. I was so unhappy and angry with myself for letting yet another relationship fail. I was beginning to fear that maybe I didn’t have a soul mate, that it was just some stupid fantasy people invented.
It was during this time of depression that a close friend of mine introduced me to The Secret.
It changed my life!
I used it to get into the graduate school I wanted and to get the job and tuition waiver I needed to pay for school. I was so ecstatic. I was no longer struggling with anxiety like I had for years and I was reaching deeper levels of self-love and appreciation like I never had before.
At first, I tried to use the LOA to get my ex-boyfriend back, but I realized that after being introduced to the LOA I didn’t really want him back. I realized he didn’t accept me for who I am and wanted me to change to better suit his wants and needs. So, I let him go.
I then began a List of Qualities that I wanted in a soul mate. I took the summer of 2014 to really get to know myself and to fall in love with Me. I read and re-read The Secret and watched the DVD almost every night to remind myself to have faith.
Then, one day during the summer I came across an old journal I kept when I was really little. When I was 9 years old I wrote in my journal “I want a guy that doesn’t try to act cool, that is kind and gentle but not perfect.”. I wrote this journal on October 3, 1999, and remember this because it’s important. I took a picture of this journal entry and saved it to my phone to remind myself to focus on what I really want: to find my soul mate.
About 4 months after I wrote my list, I met him.
From the moment we saw each other we knew we were soul mates. We kissed that very night, but it was unlike any first kiss either of us had experienced. It was like kissing a lover after they’d been gone for a very long time. After an incredible few weeks, I was scrolling through my phone one day when I came across the photo of the journal entry I wrote when I was a little girl. I showed it to Merin and said, “Look, isn’t this cute? I was looking for you ever since I was nine years old!”
His eyes widened when he pointed to the date of the journal entry, October 3. We both went nuts, laughing and hugging and completely amazed by the Universe. October 3rd is Merin’s birthday.
My advice to finding your soul mate is to love yourself first. When you love yourself you are attracting mates who will also love you for you. If you want your soul mate then you must ask for him/her. Believe that he or she is on their way, and prepare yourself to receive their love. Some other things I did to attract Merin into my life was to make a vision board of what happy relationships looks like. When you see a happy couple walking in public, don’t feel resentment because you don’t have what they have, but feel happy because you will have what they have.
Ask. Believe. Receive.
Merin and I give you all our love and best wishes!
