I awoke to the sound of my radio alarm and an ad for a local country music bar. I thought, “You know. Maybe I need to go there for the country line dancing. I think lots of men line dance.” Then I heard it—the voice. The voice of a Spirit Guide. At that time, I hadn’t fully become aware of Spirit Guides and connecting with them. I was newer in that spiritual journey.
“Put an ad on Craigslist.” I lay there in bed thinking, “What? Put an ad on Craig’s List? Do you mean that place that has all the ads with no one’s pictures, and some people are just looking for hookups? The same place I got my bedroom set and china cabinet?”
Yes, I got confirmation that Craigslist was where I was to put an ad. There was a section for personal ads for dating.
I carefully crafted my ad, or so I thought. I needed to meet someone who understood energy work because I didn’t want to convince someone about Reiki. I also wanted someone who had done personal growth work and was on a path of discovery. I did not add a picture of myself. My experience on traditional dating sites was that men who saw my picture would ask how big my tits were, and I was already placing an ad on a site that was known for hookups, so I left the photo off the ad.
In 24 hours, I had close to forty replies. Some were interesting enough to respond to; some were not a match, some were dick pics, and some were looking for a hookup. I ended up in an email conversation with one man, and we met for dinner a few days later. We dated for about three months. Honestly, I don’t even remember his name. I remember he was a shapeshifter, but that’s a story for another day. We planned to go away for my birthday weekend, but we broke it off right before my birthday, so I went alone.
I spent that time away doing a lot of soul-searching and created a vision board for the man I wanted to attract into my life. I connected with my Spirit Guides and listened to them. I came back ready to put another ad on Craigslist. This time, I had a better plan.
My title was catchy. Pique me. I wanted someone who would pique my interest. I again spoke of energy work, but I clearly stated that if he was going to send me a dick pick, they weren’t the guy for me. Once again, I got many replies. I ignored some, thanked others, and started writing to a few. One stood out, though, and we began writing in earnest. We sent emails a couple of times a day. His name was Walter.
For some reason that I don’t remember, I’d gone away for a few days and been away from my email. Upon return, I had a friend over for dinner, and we and I were talking about dating, so I shared Craigslist with her and signed in to show her the men’s ads. There it was. An ad that said, “Pique me- come back.” I stared in shock and said to her, “Wait. That’s for ME!” The ad was asking where I’d gone.
I emailed Walter back, and we proceeded to phone conversations, and he had a glorious voice. Then he asked me for a date. I arrived for our date and sat in the parking lot, waiting for him. About ten minutes after our meeting set meeting time, he still wasn’t there. I called a friend, stating that I was thinking of leaving. She encouraged me to stay. I called him, and he said he was on his way. There was a table under his name, so I should go in and wait for him.
That night, time flew by. We were at the restaurant for about three hours. We closed it down. Our conversation was fluid. We spoke about so many things and connected on such an extraordinary level. Little did I know it was the start of our love story.
I’m writing this six weeks after Walter’s death. Tears are streaming down my face as I remember the love we shared. We were so blessed and very fortunate to have the love we did. It was not our first time in this physical world, and I know he is with me in spirit, so we are still together.
I’ve been listening to “That Voice” or my Spirit Guides for a long time, but this is one time that I remember so clearly because it told me to go and do something far from my everyday thoughts. Boy, howdy, am I glad that I did.
