Am I Too Old to Find My Soulmate?

Dear Arielle and Brian, My name is Maria and I’ve been raising my two daughters on my own, for 15 years, working very hard to provide the best that I could for them. Now that they are now both in college and I am 57 years old, I have decided to think a bit about myself, and who knows maybe find my soulmate. I have read your book, made the treasure map, listened to the feelingizations every night before going to sleep, and I have even signed myself up on a dating website here in Melbourne, Australia. Nothing has happened to me at all, am I too old? Do soulmate success stories only happen to rich people and CEOs or does it happen to ordinary people like me too? Thank you,nMariannArielle's answer: Before we get started with your question about you finding love in your future, please know that the two of us are giving you a standing ovation in our office right this minute as well as dancing on top of our desks to celebrate YOU! Please follow our lead and do a quick celebration dance (I’m serious) in your house to honor your contribution to the planet for raising two beautiful independent young adults and sharing your deepest love and wisdom to young souls who needed your guidance. Cheers Maria!!! Now..if you did your celebration dance I’m sure it brought a smile to your face (maybe even some belly laughter) and a warmth to your heart—please try that out daily because that will be the quickest way to connect with your lovely spirit, Maria. I think you just need to kick start your love engine and the key to that begins with as much love, laughter and tons of fun that you can muster!!! So please give yourself some time each day to dance, laugh, sing, or just go for a walk to reconnect with your spirit and then go back to all those wonderful practices you outlined in your e-mail and do them with passion and fun. And finally please remember to nurture and care for yourself in this process and please be patient and accepting of what unfolds with no real strong attachment to any expectations or results that you might place on yourself. Maria, hopefully these simple suggestions will help you align yourself with a soulmate. We know that ASKING for love is one of the most difficult things for anyone to risk but by risking it from your deepest heart, you open a door that will never close again. This holds true for all walks of life. So yes, Maria, soulmate success stories can manifest for the rich, the poor, all colors, all religions. The entire global family.nWe are sending you our love and prayers and we’ll continue to dance on the tabletops in your honor and to wish you all the best in finding your soulmate.
