Have you ever seen the movie Practical Magic? One of the witches casts a spell, a love spell for a man who does not exist. Because if her true love doesn’t exist, then how can she ever fall in love and be hurt?
Let’s try that, shall we?
Wanted: One man.
Not to fill my husband’s shoes, because I am sure that role died with him.
But a man. Preferably one who is tall and strong, with nice eyes and a kind smile. One who is funny and makes me laugh, makes me see another side of life, gives me a fresh perspective. One who is tough and strong and can make me feels taken care of, but can talk about things and be soft when they need to.
Someone who is emotionally strong and stable, and financially so too. Someone who’s heart is in the right place.
Someone who is nice to my children, and understands that they will always, always come first.
Someone to dream with. Someone to watch movies with. Someone to laugh with. Someone to cry with.
Someone who thinks I'm pretty, who doesn't mind that I talk too much and love to sleep.
Someone who can make me laugh, just with the tone in their voice.
Someone who gives me butterflies; and makes the world a better place to be. Surely that’s not so much to ask for, is it?
Interested applicants can apply via the universe. I will be waiting.

You just made me cry a li'l bit. Love to you, sweet girl. xo
I know the movie and absolutely adore it. Hope your wish comes true.
That was me being anon at no.2 ... fat finger disease on the keyboard tonight! Sorry.
I hope you find somebody special, Lori. You deserve to be happy again x
He is out there.
He is absolutely out there.
Hope he finds you soon. xx
You listed strong three times.
You've been so strong for so long - it would be beautiful if someone could be strong for you.
:-)
You deserve all of that Lori and so much more Xx
Best of luck to you in your search, Lori.
You deserve The Best!
He will come, and you will both be happy, you deserve it. xx
He'll find you - he might not be in the guise you were expecting but you'll recognise him when you see him.
Much love and luck to you Lori!
I'm sure you will find Mr. Right! Hugs from me in your endeavours.
Ok, i'll email you, soon. Just have to do something now, and will need to think a bit, about this one.
I didn't expect you to respond, a few days back, in that way, in any way. I don't read your writings every day. Just about, but some days I skip. Then I come back, and always find something to smile about.
Made me think, quite a bit actually. I'll need to think a bit more..
I hope you find someone to make you happy again, you deserve all the love in the world.
:) x
One of my favourite movies :)
And I think that he sounds like the perfect man.
Lori..I had this list a few years back when my husband left and I had a tiny tiny baby and I was so scared about being alone and I wanted 'us' to be part of a family..I couldn't comprehend not being a big, loud rambling family. At my wedding 2 years ago I told everyone that I had sat alone on christmas eve with a 6 week old in my arms almost 4 years before, staring at us in the mirror and I willed the universe to send someone to find me...18 months later I met my lovely husband on a random street corner on a RSVP date...he was lovely and kind and he laughed at me when I got my left and rights mixed up and he was a single dad so I got to road test him as a dad for my beautiful girl...having her made me make sure that whoever found us was worthy of us...as a single girl with no kids I'd let so many people trample over my heart...but not this time...I waited and he found me...it will happen...you just have to wait x
Good luck Lori. Such people actually exist (just ask my wife).
What you're asking for is what everyone should strive to be.
I have been following your blog for about 2 years now without commenting but I just couldn't help myself this time.
I will begin growing an adequate sized peen ASAP, Then I can help you out for the interim. Ps guaranteed cling wrap stage 5 ;)
I love your list. I bet you get everything on it and then some.
:) Mr anonymous made me smile. Lol. It will happen Lori, when you're ready for it and the stars align. Until Mr Serious happens, have some fun... and if Mr Fun... turns out to be Mr Serious... Well that's just awesome.
I made a list, very specific, 15 years ago and prayed over it, a year later I met my beautiful husband and he was unlike any boy I met before. He had everything on the list, right down to a lovely Scottish accent.
At the top of my list was kindness, and he is so very kind.
Can I email you too? Been reading for awhile and slightly jealous of your other anon man..
When my marriage died, a little bit of me died too.. how could this man who I thought was my soul mate 'outgrow me', or in your case choose to die on you, .... BUT if he really was my soul mate he would not have done such things to hurt me... I finally found my soul mate and we have been together for about 15 years now... I AM SURE that you will find yours and maybe this will put this whole sorry sad business into some sort or perspective.......
You deserve only the best Lori, accept no substitutions. I just know a good man is out there for you.
OMG, I remember watching that movie when I was younger and getting all starry-eyed. It was gorgeous. Must rent it again.
I love that you are putting this out there. Good on you. You'll find what you want Lori, in all aspects, because you are tenacious and brave. Love to you!
