The 100 (Part 1)

No, not the fantasy, sci-fi TV series, but a list of 100 qualities, characteristics, experiences, moments I desire or want from a life partner. I was fortunate to have one of the most amazing spiritual guides give me this task. She said it would be difficult. It’s been years in the making. And, well, it’s still not done. I did start it…and I was surprised by some of the things I have written. So, maybe this 100 Days of Writing Project will give me ample opportunity to finish it. For now…

This is where my list stops and it is where I plan to begin again. She did say it would be difficult. She also said it will help me to be more specific and clear about what I want and that it will be something on this list that allows the Universe to signal to me who will be that life partner. Stay tuned for more!
