Updates For Ya!

Well, it has been about 4 months since I have written here.  Of course, the last thing I wrote was about shopping...my current true love!  LOL!  Unfortunately, things remain the same here.  Still have not run into my partner...of course, I have not been looking much either!  I had met what I thought was a nice guy but he too has fallen into the lot of men who cannot seem to tell the truth to save their lives.  I won't get into what happened but he knows who he is and what he did...and even more importantly, He (as in the Lord Above) knows what he did. 

My family life is good.  I am so grateful for (most of) them...but especially my little buddy (too bad he can't read!)  LOL! 

I think yesterday (the 23rd) hit me hard as far as partners and soulmates are concerned since it was the 15th anniversary of my uncle's death.  He and my aunt were the prime examples of soulmates in my life and they seemed to have the type of relationship/marriage that deep inside I still long for.   (I am glad this is not a want that consumes my life or I would probably be a complete wreck right now.)  I wrote about my aunt and uncle in an earlier post.  And it is as true today as it was when I wrote it, my aunt STILL has not even as much as looked at another man.  My uncle was her soulmate, her true love.  That space can never be filled by anyone else to her. 

I still wonder if there is a soulmate for each person and are there some lucky folks who have more than one. 

My career is going well.  I have a new job with the same company...MUCH less stress and BS...that is ALWAYS a good thing.  I actually have the time to date and spend with someone if I wanted to...of course, there is no one to spend that time with!  LOL!  What a vicious circle!

I am trying to stay hopeful but I know it is not getting any easier as the days pass.   I am curious if anyone else is having the difficulty I am.  I am beginning to believe that finding your soulmate when you date interracially is getting harder by the day! 

I often get emails from folks from all over the world thanks to this blog...I am hoping someone will email me and reassure my hope that love is truly possible!  Let me know if you have been successful in finding your soulmate.

Help Find A Marine's Sister!

It is not often that I post things that are circulated to me.  I rarely send out chain emails or the like...but when I saw this email today at work, I was compeled to send it out.  When I saw that her brother is a member the brotherhood known as the US Marines, I stopped what I was doing to post this message.  It is NOT a hoax...if you know any one in the New Hampshire/Vermont/Boston, MA area, PLEASE pass this on.

Hi all-

You know that I never bother you with forwards or fill your inboxes with messages asking you to send something on to the next 20 people in 5 minutes so please realize that this e-mail is not another mass forward...Its important because it involves my cousin and maybe you can help.

My cousin Laura didn't come home from high school on March 8th and she has been missing since that time.  She is a senior, relatively quiet and it appeared that her biggest concern when I saw her on March 5th was what college she was planning to attend.  This is truly not in her character and everyone in my family is confused and upset.  Maybe she is overwhelmed with her senior year or her relationship with her boyfriend but to me, she is not someone who would seek attention in this way.  Her brother is in the Marines in Iraq and she already knows what anxiety her parents are experiencing and I really do not believe that she would add to it.  Granted, maybe this situation may end fine but the police have been investigating for over a week and they have no leads and still have not been able to find her.

Maybe this is a long shot but I don't know what to do in this situation.  Especially since she lives in New Hampshire, I feel helpless to this situation.  Especially if you know anyone or went to college with anyone from the NH, VT, Boston area, can you please pass along this e-mail and link to her site with info.  Who knows- I can't help but try....It has her picture and contact info.
