CaliforniaLoving life and grateful for The Secret.
In 2005, my life was very rocky. My marriage was ending which was a good thing but it was tough being a single mom to a teenage daughter. I had lost my job of 8 years, which was probably a good thing, too, and I wound up being unemployed for months.
In 2006, I watched The Secret, read the book and started thinking about things differently. I hadn’t been dating but I thought I might want to date again someday and I wrote a letter thanking the Universe for my amazing man and describing my life with him. I also made a list of the attributes I wanted from a future relationship. I wanted him to be kind, funny, honest and I also was very specific about a few things. I wanted him to love sports, especially baseball, and I wanted him to enjoy playing board games. However, I still did not feel it the time was right to date.
In mid 2007, I started to feel like I was ready to meet someone new and I start dating. I met my love in August 2007 and we had our first date in September. I was delighted to find out his favorite sport is baseball, he played all through childhood and through much of his adult life. He had started a umpire training program for the Little League in his city and was still umpiring and managing/coaching. The crazy thing was the board games. His brother owns over 900 board games and we have dinner and game night once a week! I adore his brother and sister-in-law, my stepsons, step-nieces and my daughter loves the extended family as well.
We have been together for nearly 12 years now and he is definitely the love of my life. I am so grateful!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
