I am going through a similar issue. I too, found the partner who seemed like all I’d ever waited for. I’m 43, divorced and had my shares of disappointment, but I met the most perfect man not long after I’d read The Secret and had begun practicing the LOA. I attributed finding this man to my doing the LOA, so when the relationship ended, I began blaming myself for somehow doing the LOa wrong. I felt like I’d attracted our break up and even that the LOA was punishing me. This was not the case, but more negative thoughts were adding more negativity to my life.
Your story is helping me process this whole thing. I realize that the timing of my relationship was way off too. I love your description of lightening striking twice and I believe it can too.
I’m now coping with the possibly loss of a job as well but I am working at having no fear. My latest mantra (developed by some of your quotes) is Everything happens for a reason. and God/Universe wants the best for me. I had to renew my mantra as my old mantra of My life is blessed w abundance had grown stale and wasnt exciting to me anymore. Anyway, thanks for encouraging me from 3000 miles away..I believe we are all connected in some unique way so maybe soon I’ll be encouraging someone as well! Rhonda from FB

Today was a super hard, shitty day. I had to walk away from the love of my life, because the timing is just not right. There is part of me that wants to hate a lot of things right now, and doesn’t understand why I attracted this perfect person to me, who is the description of everything I’ve asked for yet the timing is not right and I still have to walk away… I don’t know why right now, and I’m pissed no lie. But I still trust the process. I trust that I’ve learned some beautiful things and if I could attract something so amazing once then I can do it again and next time the stars will align.

I just have to believe it. I don’t have a choice. The other option is to sit down and cry all day and feel sorry for myself and life’s too short for that bullshit. So we press on… 🙂
lots of love! thanks for sharing 🙂 it will get better, that much i KNOW.

And I did it, I finally let go, but honestly part of me died in the letting go process and sometimes I fear my cynicism and my walls will be my life partner.

I’m not trying to rain on anyone’s Law of attraction parade. I’ve stated this before, that what I love about you Sarah is that you are not living in Law of Attraction/Secret la la land. Sometimes shit just happens and we did nothing to attract it. I do think we can channel our energy into attracting something good to replace the shit. I need to feel that I truly did nothing to “attract” my recent boyfriend to stop loving me. I didnt attract all the garbage at my job, my co worker who embezzled money attracted it and I have to suffer. I didnt attract my cat dying..he’s 17 and it was just his time. I am trying to rise above all my recent losses by using the LOA to bring light at the end of my tunnel. Sometimes all I can do is look at my vision board and write down my mantra..My life is filled with abundance and somehow I am going to end up in a better place than if I let myself spiral downward. Well, I am rambling and I’ve actually had a few glasses of wine so I hope my spelling is ok. I’m glad I dont have to be zen-buddha purist to make this LOA stuff work. I’m a human who is doing the best that she can….Rhonda Jones/via FB
