I Could Never Have Planned To Meet My Life Partner This Way

by Marci Shimoff

There’s something about a great boy-meets-girl story that has the power to renew your faith in love.

Especially when you’re single and wondering when the heck the right person for you will appear.

Maybe you’ve been waiting for a long time.

Maybe you’ve had so many disappointments along the way that you can’t even imagine how everything will just work out.

That’s exactly how I felt.

I’d go years between relationships. I also had a very definite idea of what kind of man I’d be with.

Yet he was nowhere in sight.

Then one day I decided to have a reading done by a Vedic astrologer.

Three Men In Three Months—And Then Things Got Interesting

I hadn’t told the astrologer anything—including the fact that I was single and yearning to find a life partner.

Yet what he said astounded me.

He said that in the next three months, I’d meet three men—back to back.

I told him that this was impossible, because I rarely met anyone I was interested in, let alone so many men in a short period of time.

He also said each of these men would be foreign.

And that NONE of them would be my guy.

Geez, I thought, this is not helpful. Why is he even telling me this?

But he insisted this was all going to happen, and then—this is what really got me on the edge of my seat—he said that in six months to a year, I’d meet my life partner.

“I Can’t Help It; It’s Your Destiny”: The Words I Wouldn’t Believe

He went on to describe him—in detail.

Dark hair. Mediterranean. Born and raised in Italy. Working as a therapist. Six years younger than me.

That’s when I really dug in my heels.

I told him this was just not possible—I never dated younger men.

But he said, “I can’t help it. It’s your destiny.”

I left, believing the reading was a total waste of time and money.

Well, within three months I did meet three men—all foreign. But I never got involved with any of them romantically, because I didn’t feel any of them were right for me.

I thought, “Huh, that was interesting.”

And then I completely forgot about the reading.

The Dance Of Destiny Unfolding Before My Eyes

Six months later, I went to a personal-growth program in Upstate New York. There were 600 people in this program.

It’s a huge campus with a big gravel parking lot. And, just as I was pulling into a parking space, there was a woman in the space next to me getting ready to leave. I instantly recognized her—she was someone I had met the only other time I had visited.

I said, “Kathleen, what are you doing here?!”

She told me she had just finished a dance course there and asked me if I was still single. Because—get this—there was a guy at the course she thought I would like.

Then she said, “Do you like big, macho guys? And do you like older men?”

And I said, “Yeah!”

I could barely contain my excitement.

Then she said, “Well he’s not either of those.”

My anticipation quickly evaporated. But then, just as I was telling her that I didn’t really want to meet him, she pointed out that he was walking across the other side of the parking lot.

So she called him over and said, “Sergio, this is my friend Marci. You have to teach her the dance.”

And right then, before he even said anything, he took me in his arms and danced me around that gravel parking lot.

I looked into his eyes. And I knew.

I Could Never In A Million Years Have Planned This

Believe it or not, I had completely forgotten about my astrology reading.

We dated, but it was a challenging relationship, and we broke up after a few months. Then I remembered the reading.

I pulled out the notes I took when I visited the astrologer, and I called Sergio. I read the description of the man who was supposed to be my life partner, and Sergio fit every single criterion.

There was silence on the other end of the line, until Sergio said, “Well, it’s our destiny.”

And we’ve been together ever since.

When I think about how it all happened, it’s truly miraculous and beyond anything my logical mind could have ever anticipated.

There was no way I could have planned to run into my old friend on that day, when there were 600 people, and that Sergio would have walked across the parking lot.

How To Allow Your Own Magical Love Story To Unfold In Divine Timing

When we trust the universe and our future, we’re able to be in the moment. We’re present.

The happiest people are in that state of flow—in that state of trust—where they are in the moment.

When you trust life’s unfolding, you’re not worrying about what’s going to happen in the future, so you’re more able to be in the present moment.

And when you’re present, divine timing can take over—bringing you exactly what you need!

In my program 30 Days to a Happier Life, I’ll teach you the specific mindset, attitudes, and habits of the happiest people in the world—people who trust life and are masters of living in the flow.

The incredible way I met Sergio taught me that there’s something much bigger than our logical mind working in our lives, and that what life has planned for me is so much better than what I could come up with!

In the program, you’ll learn to work with the magic of life rather than against it. Because the program is structured in bite-sized videos—one for each day of the month—you gradually build your “happiness muscles,” including becoming present so that divine guidance can bring you everything your heart desires.

Bonus: people who are in the present moment are also infinitely more attractive. That’s why learning presence is one of the best things you can do to draw your soul mate to you.

With love and happiness,
