My Man

This has so far been the most important piece of magic I ever created. I strongly encourage every single man and woman to take some time to search your heart and mind for what you really want-exactly-and create this kind of magic in your own life.

For me this magic began as a collage. I love collages like I love crayons--and that's a lot. This one was my vision of what I wanted for my marriage at that time--represented by happy couples holding hands, looking into eachother's eyes, adoring one another and being joyous and content together. I made it and then put it away. I didn't really feel like I had anywhere to put it.

Eventually my marriage fell apart. And by fell apart, I mean it really fell apart. So I had to start over. And I got to thinking that telling myself "I just want a good guy" was not going to be sufficient to attract the kind of man I really wanted into the type of relationship I really needed, or to even survive the dating world in the first place.  So I got specific about what really mattered to me. And it took me a while to figure out what really mattered to me. I took the time to ask my heart and ask my mind and write the things out that they said. I ended up with a whole bunch of words entitled "My Man and Our Happy Healthy Relationship." Probably the awesome-est thing I've ever written.

So I dug up my old collage and posted it on my wall alongside my newly-written description of that love that I really wanted. Not long afterward I was able to pin a picture of me and my awesome, real-life man to the words and the picture and move them from my vision board to my gratitude board. I tease him now that I voodoo magicked him into my life, and he just smiles :)
