Looks Like It's 10/12/12

If you were waiting with bated breath after October 12th's post, here is the answer as to whether October 12th would manifest my Mr. Right: nope. In spite of the heels, makeup, and a cute dress, the Universe did not provide.

So, ladies and gentlemen, apparently December 10th, 2012 is going to be the magic day. I'll have to put it in my planner. ;-)

Let's all keep our fingers crossed!

12/10/12 vs 10/12/12

A few weeks after separating from my soon-to-be ex-husband, I read The Soulmate Secret. Some of you may recall the collage I created as a result of this book.

Another exercise recommended was to close my eyes and visualize the date I was going to meet Mr. Right. This is what I saw (yes, in big, bold red numbers just like these):

12/10/12

then...

10/12/12

then...

12/10/12

The first two numbers kept switching places. Now, this was back in January. Both October 12th AND December 10th seemed like a lifetime away. However, here we are: October 12th, 2012 is upon us.

Probably a good day to wear heels and makeup. ;-)

Single Girl Snippet: Manifesting Mr. Right

Shortly after my separation, I subletted an apartment while attending job interviews out of town. There was a copy of The Soulmate Secret: Manifest the Love of Your Life with the Law of Attraction on the bookshelf. I picked it up out of curiosity one day. Every chapter, I thought “I can’t believe I am still reading this” --  kind of the way I feel when I read celebrity magazines while waiting in the checkout line at the grocery store.

The book presents a multistep plan to manifesting Mr. Right. Clearly, my soulmate manifestation skills are subpar, so I decided to play along. This involved:

1. Making a list of all the must have and will not tolerate qualities desired in a soulmate.
This was a surprisingly useful exercise. My list was definitely not a carbon copy of the one I would have created prior to meeting the man I was formerly married to.

2. Writing a detailed narrative that starts with “My ideal mate is a single, heterosexual male who is available for a committed, monogamous relationship…”
According to the book, you have to be extremely precise because the Universe has some sort of twisted sense of humour. For example, one poor woman forgot to specify the sexual orientation of the man she was hoping to meet - and then manifested someone who met all of her specifications but was gay. I wasn't going to take that chance.

3. The Collage
I took a fair amount of teasing for this one. It's actually a non-trivial amount of work to collect magazines and clip enough relevant words and pictures. The idea is that whatever you put on your collage will manifest itself in your life. I divided my work of art into various sections: career, personal growth, soulmate, family, and home. I've included the 'Home' section below:

The book cautioned that you have to be emotionally ready in order for the Universe to do its thing and manifest your better half. So, it could be a while before my collage and spreadsheet work their magic. But, they are ready. And with any luck, someday so will I.
