Love Story: A Journey of Passion and Manifestation

My first inspiration came the day I met “Mr. Explorer.” Five years my senior, but yet he had already accomplished so much, seen so much, traveled over 60 countries, spoke three languages, he had loved, he had lust, he had hated, and he had felt sorrow - he had lived a full life. I sometimes think I fell in loved with him before I met him. I remembered hearing his name; without knowing this person, I felt a magical divide energy pull me, wanting to know more.

Weeks later, I came to meet him. No one had mentioned to me how attractive he would be. He was beautiful, charming, witty, a misfit with a childlike spirit to him. It was more than just a mere attraction to him; it was not lust; this was something else; a force was drawing me to him. When he asked for my number, without hesitation, I gave it to him. Like a true Explorer, our first date was not your typical “dinner and movie” date.

Our first date consisted of a flower festival, an adventurous walk through dim caverns, monkeying around with an actual monkey, a beautiful hike through a lavish jungle, bird watching, a spontaneous jump into a waterfall pool, and being completely drenched from our swim, we finished our date eating the best-fried fish I had ever had. I knew it was too soon; I felt I was crazy to feel this way, was it the adrenaline rush from an amazing date - but on that day, when he came over to dry me up after a dipping in the chill fresh water, his eyes met mine, and he gave me the most beautiful childlike smile, I knew I loved him.

At that moment, I did not know what his feeling were for me, nor did I care, all I knew was that with his smile, he awoke my soul and forever changed my life. For the first time, I felt a vivid energy of living for someone else; I love him. I wanted to live to make him happy, to do what was in my power to see his childlike smile again, the power of my inspiration.

Time and years have gone since our first date; a love child was created in between with his same exact smile. Through time, the same intense energy has only grown as we experience beautiful memories and adventures as a family.

I share this in the hopes others may find their passion that will forever change them to live to the fullest. In many ways, I manifested him into my life, through visualization, affirmation, and a deep belief in the power of the universe to bring us together.
