Dear Soulmate Manifesters,

We live in a society of instant gratification and many of us have lost the fine art of getting to know someone. While it’s true that sometimes when soulmates meet, sparks fly and it’s completely obvious to both parties that the ONE has been found, more often than not this isn’t what happens.

I’ve spoken to many, now happily married couples, who once had an idea or fantasy in their head that their beloved would have dark brown hair, or light blond hair or some other physical feature. And then, they met a redhead and felt certain he or she could not be the ONE. Fortunately, they were smart enough to become friends with this wrong-colored-hair person and eventually they fell in love and discovered that their soulmate had been right in front of them all along.

Rather than judging someone by their physical features, or questioning whether or not there is “instant chemistry” (which I believe, for certain people with emotional baggage, can be a sign that you have found someone who fits your past negative patterns not your future), it’s important to seriously examine how you “feel” when you are dating someone. Do you feel heard? Seen? Understood? Is there an ease to your communication? One of the reasons why a Soulmate Wish List is so useful is that it’s there remind you about the traits and qualities that are MOST important to you.

While you are in your manifestation process it’s possible that you will meet potential mates that initially “seem” like they have great potential, only to discover they are not the ONE. This is a good thing. Don’t give up. It just means that you are that much closer than you were before. And, when you meet someone new give them a chance…don’t give up so easily.

Wishing you love, laughter, and magical kisses,

Dear Soulmate Manifesters,

I love going to weddings and this past weekend we had an amazing time at the wedding of our dear friends Kim & Nova. The setting couldn’t have been more perfect – Napa in the Spring – flowers in full bloom, warm breezes, and love so palpable you could feel it everywhere and in everyone. The bride was stunning and beautiful and deliriously happy, an even though her wedding day was probably 15 years later than she expected, her groom was worth the wait.

Theirs is a modern-day love story.

The groom mentioned to his friend, Jimmy, that he was ready to meet a great woman. Jimmy, in a flash of genius, knew the perfect woman for him, Kim.

And, thus a love-match was made.

As I heard the story of how they met, I was reminded of a party I once went to when I lived in Los Angeles. My friend Rita asked her single friends (both men & women) to come to a Sunday brunch and to bring two things – something delicious to eat and a former boyfriend or girlfriend. The idea was to bring some one really wonderful, someone that we were still friends with but, for whatever reason, were no longer dating. Rita’s idea was till fill her home with pre-screened (you might even say test-driven) great singles and let them all get together to mingle.

I remember being in the house and the place was just buzzing with excitement. It was easy to talk to everyone because we all had a story to share about who we had brought to the party and why. What I enjoyed best was that I felt really comfortable. Surrounded by friends, old and new, we all wanted to the same thing – to connect and meet someone but without any awkward pressure.

Last week we began this conversation about sharing the great guys & gals we meet with our friends…here’s a way to take it one step further – create a gathering like Rita did. You never know who is going to walk through the door.

Wishing you love, laughter, and magical kisses,

Dear Soulmate Manifesters,

Synchronicity is a wonderous thing and I love to pay attention to the seemingly random yet connected things that happen in my life.

One day, many years ago, my friend Cathy called to tell me about a man, Joe, she wanted to fix me up with on a blind date. Cathy shared that Joe was tall, handsome, successful, lots of fun, spiritual and, oh, by the way, she had been dating him for the past month.

Whoa.

Hold on sister. Why are you trying to fix me up with this great guy if you’re dating him?

Cathy explained that Joe was a fabulous guy but he just wasn’t right for her and she thought that someone in her circle should benefit from meeting him and she chose me. I thought it was pretty strange but agreed to meet him.

Joe and I went to a very chic restaurant for dinner. He was everything Cathy had said and more plus he spent most of the evening massaging my feet. (I have a weakness for great foot rubs)

By the end of the evening all I could think of was: wow, great guy but not for me. Who can I fix him up with? It turned out I really wasn’t a perfect match for him so we decided to become pals.

A few weeks later my friend Holly asked me if I new any great guys I could fix her up with…I thought about it for a few seconds and said, “Yes, you’ve just got to meet Joe!”

So, Holly & Joe went to lunch. And they became…….really great friends.

And yet, again no love match for Joe. But…just a few months later, Joe introduced Holly to his best friend, Jack, who Holly instantly fell in love with and later married.

We never know when or where we will meet our soulmate but when we approach every new person as a possible “friend” unimaginable possibilities could unfold.

Wishing you love, laughter, and magical kisses,

Arielle
