I was 37 and single. I was complaining over the phone to my best friend who lives in California. I said, \u201cI can\u2019t find a nice guy.\u201d Joe then said to me, \u201cI don\u2019t know, it seems like the guys you\u2019ve dated are nice enough, they\u2019re just not what you actually want. You pray and have faith, why not ask for what you really want in a future husband?\u201d Something in me just clicked!<\/p>\n
In true teacher form, I got lined paper with the 3 holes on the left and I made my list! I was incredibly specific. I did not skip lines. I made 3 columns and then turned the paper over and did 3 more columns of traits my husband should have. For 3 years I had that list on my nightstand, and I would take it out periodically and read it.<\/p>\n
Fast forward. I was 39 and went on a date with a man I met on a online dating site. It was love at first sight! After dating him a bit I felt comfortable telling him about the list. I said you are actually everything on my list except that you\u2019re probably not a Taurus.\u201d He replied, \u201cI am a Taurus I was born in May.\u201d I didn\u2019t believe it. He had to show me his driver\u2019s license. I got so excited I told him I want to show him my list. When I went to get the list it wasn\u2019t on my nightstand! I took everything out of my nightstand, not that I ever had much in there. Mind you, I lived by myself, I didn\u2019t even own a cat! All of a sudden he looks at me and says, \u201cThe list in probably not there because maybe it\u2019s the Universe\u2019s way of saying to you, that you no longer need the list, I\u2019m here.\u201d<\/p>\n
A year later we married. My husband is my Prince Charming. He is all 120 traits I desired and I believe that I attracted and manifested him into my life. This to me is proof that if you have the courage to ask for what you really want, the Universe will provide it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
