I already wrote this in one of the stickies, but it fits...
I was talking to a friend about how I would loooove to get with George Clooney. Well, right after I got off the phone with her, a George Clooney impersonator wrote me a message on my MySpace and tried to chat me up!
I had actually been doing the exercises in this wonderful book called, "Calling In The One". Fantastic! She talks about I-M in it, and a lot of the exercises are creative visualizations involving your and your ideal mate. Well, for me, it's someone tall, foreign (I love German guys the most), and creative, a little older or the same age as me, with a great bod and lots of passion. I keep this picture in my mind.
A little bit later, I go to see a band at my favorite club. The lead singer fits this description, but is married (boooo). Ah, well, innocent flirtation never killed anyone. He actually kissed my hand. Cute. But I couldn't, and wouldn't, ever take him home with me, lol!
I had listed myself on some dating sites that were recommended by a friend that had some success with them. I put up terrific pics, and wrote a great blurb. No replies. Nothing. Maybe four or five in almost a month, but nothing close. I knew, deep down, that I was barking up the wrong tree, and that I needed to keep my eyes straight, because I'd been getting what I wanted when I asked for it. Perhaps I was close...
The same day that I killed my dating membership, I got a letter in my MySpace (yeah, yeah...hush) from a man in Germany. He was 28, tall, in great shape, and blonde. And, strangely enough, he was coming to the States in about a week to stay for a bit
Hahaha! He decided to write to me because of my blog. Funny that...I was always told in tarot readings and such that once I figure out what my calling is, my perfect match would pop up. We hit it off instantly.
Now, remember that I-M brings you not only what you want, but what you need. That's what's happening to me right now. He's going back to Europe. He's not staying permanently. Also, he's very much a loner, just like me, and doesn't want an normal "boyfriend/girlfriend" thing. The big lesson that he's come to teach me is 1) I have to become more open, which is super hard for me because I've been hurt and abandoned many times, and 2) that I actually need someone who will give me space to just be alone, and won't be up under me. In other words, a LDR may be perfect. But, I would never have even been faced with solving those problems, if not for I-M.
I don't know what's gonna happen. Now I'm facing my ego impulses to cling and worry that I'm getting left behind somehow.
But the moral of the story is this: if you put it out there, and you're making yourself the best possible person you can be, and you're open to the possibility of love, it'll come to you. Just watch what comes with it!
