Earlier this afternoon, I was having yet another awesome conversation with one of my good friends. (Nothing in particular made the conversation “awesome” — just that she’s an awesome friend, and thus makes conversations with her just as good. It’s like that with many of my close friends.)

We were talking about many things, including what it feels like to be a parent. She’s a mom of a 9-year-old girl. I, myself, well … I’m not sure if I even want to have kids at all. I’m open to it, but feel no real emotional need or desire either.

“That could be just because you haven’t found The One yet,” she said. Maybe, once I met that special girl I’d want to spend the rest of my life with, I’d feel differently about starting and raising a family.

Maybe.

But half-joking, I asked if she had any idea when I might be meeting That One, just out of curiosity. hehe.

She didn’t know, even though she is spiritually gifted and has sensed other things about my future. She just hadn’t really thought about it, is all. My main focus lately has been getting my financial life in order, so that’s been primarily what we’ve talked about as far as the future is concerned.

And by the way, on a side note, I’m taking positive action towards improving my financial well-being. I’ve reached threshold; I’m sick and tired of being sick and tired. Emotionally, I can’t afford to be broke any longer. In addition to some other steps I’m taking, I signed up for a 3-day long intensive class on advanced technical stock trading. In other words, I’m starting to learn the advanced tools and strategies for limiting risk, maximizing profit, and making money regardless of what the stock market is doing.

Most people only know to “buy and hold” or maybe “short sell” a stock they expect to go down. That’s all I knew until I started educating myself and digging deeper. Turns out there’s tons of other options out there, really cool stuff, that I hope to share with you soon.

Back to the story…

My friend said she’d think about it, see if she sensed anything about when/where I’d meet “The One.” Quiet honestly, at this point in my life, I’m not even sure there is a “The One.” There might be multiple “Ones,” or, a more jaded part of me, fears it’s all just a silly fantasy we only find in movies and children’s stories.

I don’t need a soulmate to feel loved. I don’t need a soulmate to be loved unconditionally.

For years… most of my life… I dreamed of this one girl I’d meet who would love me totally, unconditionally, forever — and we’d get along great, always, and everything would be just perfect.

Right.

Well, I’d love to have that. But I don’t need it. I can’t wait for my soulmate to show up, for me to give myself permission to love myself unconditionally. I can’t wait for a soulmate to start enjoying life.

So I’ve started without her, and hope she joins me for the adventure soon. :)

Anyway, we left it at that. Later, I checked my MySpace page to see if I got any new e-mail, and I had the most synchronistically coincidental friend request.

I had a request from someone named “2 Hearts ~ 1 Soul.”

In their comment section, included with the friend request, was a little note:

“Hello! Would love to add you as a friend. Our profile is about Twin Flames. Stop by anytime. Love and Light~ Natasha”

Natasha?

Wow. You guys remember that name? If not, you might enjoy reading an old blog, called Left Behind.

It’s a different Natasha, I’m sure. The person who wrote me is 34 years old and living in Arkansas. And she’s already found her Twin Flame, her Special One.

His name is Michael.

lol.

My last name is Michaels. When people first meet me, they often get confused and want to call me Michael. The beauty of having two first names, I guess. hehe.

I found the timing and name similarities all coincidental enough to be humorous, and worth writing a blog over. :)

And that’s all I have to say for now.

Gosh… I had forgotten about the Natasha I met on the beach all those years ago. That was, what, back in 2003? Five years ago?

If she is my soulmate, she’s probably a lot like me, and must’ve moved to three different states by now. LOL. j/k.

:)

Oh well. Maybe I have a Twin Flame somewhere out there. Maybe she’s out there hoping and praying for me. I sometimes ask God to take care of her in my absence. But whoever you are, wherever you are … I thank you for waiting for me, for not settling with some other guy, someone less than your heart truly desires. I, too, am waiting for you.

I love you.

Namaste, my friends,
God bless,
David Michaels
