When the stars align anything is possible. A moment that takes our breath away…meeting someone for the first time and Knowing this is a gift a blessing, right here and now.

I've been alone and on my own for years now and have lived with peaceful acceptance of being alone. I was alone but not lonely.
I even came to terms with the possibility of being alone the rest of my life and found peace with that as well.

Then on a beautiful autumn night the stars aligned and there he was and in that moment I found the most comfortable wide open space to Be.

Since that evening I find myself singing for no reason. I feel lighter and more joyful. I think about him, how he looks, what he says, how he moves. I realize that when alone it's good to find peaceful acceptance because it is what it is.  Today life is full of possibilities and for the first time in many many years…I no longer see myself alone. I want to share everything with him…who I am, my life, my world.

When I wrote Adirondack Retreat My Midlife Journey to Wholeness…I thought I found wholeness and in many ways I did but today I know that wholeness is about sharing life with someone you love, being a part of another, sharing space, sharing time, growing and learning…being a family. I trust in this relationship because I found myself and because I know myself and through this attracted to me the best man in the world for me. We understand each other, "get" it and are enjoying every moment of this beautiful beginning.

If you are looking for love…become the person and experience you seek and then allow the Universe to make the connection. Universal Wisdom is far more accurate than we are. A few months ago I came across the worn out typed up sheet that describes the relationship I wanted, the experience I wanted to have that I wrote back in 2006. Every day for a few years I read that sheet, I read it to myself, envisioned it in my meditations, and sometimes would read it out loud always before or after daily meditation. Then one day I put it in my altar drawer and would read it now and then. I have become those affirmations. I have become and manifested everything on that sheet. Once again I put it away and on that autumn night I knew I met my mirror. He is everything I hoped for and more.

We have the power to manifest our hopes and dreams. The mind when in alignment with our highest good is a powerful tool. Patience is the path to allowing the Universe to do the work. Become what you seek and then wait for it to come to you.

I am so grateful for all these years of healing, for manifesting what I would hope to experience in a relationship and finding so much of that and more with this man.  The ways of the Universe…God's abundant gifts are so full of surprises and I am blessed by that moment in time when the stars aligned and Know this is a rare and precious gift…because the Universe declares it so.

When The Stars Align

How long it's been

alone on my own

Time passes years go by

I grow accustomed to this solitary life

Walls built up

I'm safe inside

For years now…I hide

Slowly I change

find my way

I ask to open

ask to receive

if there be One for me

On the beach I bare my heart and soul

spread open my arms before the mighty ocean

and declare I am ready

I am open to receive the love that awaits me

The stars align

on that autumn night

comfortable, sweet, open, peaceful

Knowing this the beginning of something wonderful
beautiful

meant to Be together

the Universe declares it so

Stars align

I slip my hand in his
