When I was 58 years old, I fell in love for the first time in my life, madly, wildly in love. It was a true midsummer’s night dream. At that time, I had been widowed for some 6 years after 25 years of marriage, and this lovely Swede simply swept me off my feet. After 7 months of communicating with him, I went to Sweden and spent 7 days with him. At the end of that time, I was heartbroken, knowing that our romance had come to an end. But that heartbreak launched me into a new life of seeking enlightenment.

Now, at 68—nearly 69—I know that in matters of the heart, age means nothing. When my love and I first meet, we will each experience such a shock of recognition that we will each gasp, “Oh! It’s you! Of course it’s you!” Our relationship will be one of consummate spirituality and of consummate sexuality because we both know that the two are inextricably intertwined—at least for us. Having many years of deep life experience, we will have the wisdom to come together almost seamlessly and with little drama, but we will challenge each other so that we both continue to grow more toward each other and more toward light. Our inner selves will burst into a new level of being because of our being together.

Our daily life will be one of joyful, playful giving back to our world through our many volunteer activities and philanthropy. But our most valuable gift to our world will be providing a model to family, to friends—to all whom we meet—of just what a committed relationship can look like. To be in our presence will bring a smile to the lips and a joyous song to the heart. We will give others hope of what their future can look like.

And at the end of the day, when we lie together in bliss, we will be unable to tell where one of us leaves off and the other begins. Our time together on this plane may be short, but it will be intensely sweet, simply a prelude to our eternal joining.

JEESH…..what a year that was! It started with me macramed to the couch with my cigarettes and sarcasm…to sitting in this huge plane next to…well, my Angel. I have been calling her all sorts of nicknames like: sweet knees, scouchie face, buttercup, sweetie….but I think my angel is most appropriate. Why the plane, you ask? In about one hour we will be landing in Rio…heck I’m still pinching myself…I hope we get to spend some time on the beaches. I know what your thinking…just a couple of love birds on a vaca. Not quite.

When she responded to my message on the LOA site it was because she liked my life path and my decision to live in the now with love, acceptance, forgiveness, and joy…this I know…but she was also open to my passion to give back and bring some light into the lives of others…mostly kids. I can’t tell you what that means to me. She said yes! Yes to a life of global giving and receiving. Yes to a life full of surprises ( not what most women want in their 50’s..trust me on this one ) and the creative flow that can be a roller coaster ride if you are not open to it. Yes to exploring the Blue highways…the path not taken. Yes to…well…me. Now we are here together as one. We work. We meld, We are buddies. We are in love again. We are like two silly friends who are always in on the joke. Every time I watch her just being her…I have this incredible warmth start from my heart and just spread over my body until it vibrates and I think other people can feel it. I have to stop and close my eyes sometimes just to thank my self for being clear and direct in my visualizations.

It’s funny, I don’t question any more …I bless, release, accept and act. This beautiful soul next to me is the direct result of allowing. So…I bid you a farewell, my friend…..we are just about to land in Brazil and take 25 soccer balls and 100 soccer shirts to the inner-city slums and see how many smiles and hugs we get in return! Oh…and she is video tapping all of for our non-profit website…. she loves doing this stuff! Ciao!!

6 Months after meeting my soulmate: I’m thinking to myself WOW, WOW & WOW. I’m feeling that deep soul level sense of complete and utter contentment and excitement, “finally I’m with the person I’ve always dreamt of”. I’d always known it could happen and am so glad I’ve trusted spirit enough to allow it. In my life now with my soulmate I feel kind of invincible in everything I set out to do. A feeling of coming home to myself and true spiritual nature. My gorgeous, sexy soulmate and I are having so many laughs together, you know those real belly laughs that bring tears to your eyes. I can’t stop marveling at how in sync we are with each other, emotionally, our sense of humor, our visions of how we can both make a difference in the world, especially working with young people, helping them to be, do and have everything they want in life. It feel just so right on every conceivable level, as though we’ve always been together, never not been with each other, hmmmm funny that, I guess its our destiny.

Each day I wake up, I feel so happy I could burst and at the same time feeling very grounded. When I look over at his handsome face on the pillow next to me and he opens his eyes with a smile on his face, holding me close as he doesn’t want me to get up, I just think - damn - this is magical and damn I’m one lucky woman, keep wanting to pinch myself and tell the world that I’m in love with the man of my dreams and he’s in love with me, Yesssssss, woo hoo!!

The best part of being in love is that feeling of knowing that I’ve got somebody by my side who supports me in all I do, loves me inside and out, believes in my dreams, aspirations, life purposes and someone who connects with me on a deep spiritual level, all mixed up with so much laughter and fun and adventure. Being in love will allow me the opportunity to support and love another without conditions, share my and his world and form an amazing basis within which to bring up beautiful spiritually minded children.

My days will be us both waking and giving each other space to meditate and set our intentions for the day, followed by a loving breakfast together where we talk about what we’ve both got planned for the day and see where we can spend our quality time that day. Most days there is so much sexiness crackling between us that we have trouble getting out of the door to go to our respective appointments on time that day. Some evenings we will go for a meal and see a film, acting like teenagers in the back row, snuggling up, sometimes missing big chunks of the film, but who cares, doesn’t the world know that we found each other at last Other evenings I’ll surprise him by meeting him from work and taking him on a date, making him feel extra special with lots of little surprises because he’s so worth it. Other day’s we’ll make plans, me to catch up on girly nights out and he catching up with his friends, catching up with each other later back at home, excited to see each other just like the first time we started dating.

Our plans for the future: We’ll have amazing discussion on how we both want to work with young people, who are going through challenges, to help them heal and reach their highest potential. We’re also looking at putting on workshops on wealth creation, particularly for school age students and property investment, which is his area of real expertise. He’s making it possible for us to see the New Year in New York, staying in a fantastic hotel as that’s always been my dream. I’ve rented out my flat and moved in with him. We are now planning our wedding for 2010 as we just know that “the search is off”. We both can’t wait to have children, but before we do we’re going to do a bit of travelling, holidaying, having some down time, resting, healing and having heaps of fun.

We’ve got soooooo many things we want to do together and individually with each others full support and love that it’s going to take a good many more life times to pack it all in so we can’t wait to get started.

The feelings my soulmate and I have for each other are absolutely PHENOMENAL and we both knew each other was the one as soon as our eyes met for the first time.

Thank you universe for my soulmate & thank you Dawn for giving us all the opportunity to really elevate our vibrations to align beautifully with our soulmates with these writings.

Love and blessings to everyone
