To my beloved husband, Mark, and our beautiful daughter, Alexandria— the
fruits of my labor
“Katherine is truly gifted! Her magical techniques and seminars are life-
changing . . . especially if your heart is blocked to receiving love. Her insight
and wisdom can assist anyone wanting to find ‘The One.’ Her processes worked
for me . . . I am now in an amazing committed relationship with my life mate!”
RENEE PIANE, author of Love Mechanics: Power Tools to Build Successful
Relationships with Women and cofounder of RapidDatingUSA.com
“You can’t get what you want until you know what you want. Katherine
Woodward Thomas helped me to define what I was looking for and helped me to
create a path to call in the love of my life. Now, just about a year later, I’m
shopping for engagement rings. It works.”
DEBRA TENNEN, M.D., ophthalmologist
“Working with Katherine Woodward Thomas opened my heart and mind to
embracing and healing all aspects of ‘The One’ in me. Yes, I have called in the
love of my life, a lover beyond my wildest dreams! Most important, I’ve called
in—and live in—LOVE.”
KAREN RUSSO, corporate trainer
“Katherine is brilliant at helping to create an inviting space for your divine-right
partner to show up. Within six months of working with her, Paul showed up and
we are building a vision of a shared life together. I am grateful to her for her
support, clarity, and inspiration.”

“This course became my lifeline, best friend, and guardian. It gave me what I
craved most: the compassionate understanding, loving support, and practical
tools to guide me in releasing old blocks and patterns that were inhibiting love
from entering my life. The work required some time and dedication, but as I’d
made the commitment to do it diligently and honestly, I was amazed to find it
comforting and pleasurable. Just two weeks after finishing the course, my life
has more meaning, I’m happier, and I actually love ‘me.’ The most challenging
predicament I face is how to schedule time for each of the five great guys who
are calling me right now!”
DEBRA KAUFMAN, television writer and producer
“‘The One’ I had to call in first and foremost was myself; and this course gave
me the tools to do that. I am now standing in the vision of the great love I always
wanted in my life, but never before truly believed I could have. I am now
creating it. A beautiful, healing journey into the heart, expanding it to let more
love out, and welcome more love in. Definitely a life-changing experience on
many levels.”
MAGDA MOLINA, actress
Special Thanks
If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.
—Isaac Newton
All accomplishments in life, both great and small, can be traced to the
influences and efforts of many. This book is no exception. It has taken the love
and support of many wise and caring people over the years to help me arrive at a
place in my life where I have something valuable to say. The collective kindness
and generosity that I have received in my life is a debt that I can never repay
directly, and can only hope to pay forward for the rest of my life.
I do, however, wish to thank certain people for helping me, not only to write
this book, but to become the person who was capable of writing this book. To
my “vision keepers,” Naomi Benghiat and Jennifer Holt, thank you for
steadfastly holding the vision of what love could, and would, look like in my
life, when I was too weary to care; and for the depth of your devotion to the
fulfillment of my dreams. To Lora Cain, for providing many, many hours of
encouragement, editorial advice, and edification. To Tamira Hughes, for being
the incredible gift that you are, sweetly arriving in my life just in the nick of
time. To Natalie Lehman, for your kind and loving support. To Benjamin Dover,
for pointing out potential pitfalls and thus guarding my every step like a pit bull.
To my agent, Angela Rinaldi, who, with great kindness and care, skillfully
managed to shepherd this work into the world. To my editor, Jennifer Kasius, for
blessing this project with the magnitude of your talents and creative abilities. To
Nancy Hardin, for your generosity, commitment, and common sense. To Carrie
Thornton, for so graciously and adeptly stepping up to the plate as we came into
the final stretch. To Karen Minster, for enhancing my words with your beautiful
design. To Teresa Alas, for keeping my daughter safe and loved on those long
afternoons of writing and rewriting. To Philippa Burgess, for your sound advice
and ever-optimistic encouragement. To Douglas Evans, for being one of those
rare and special people who actively seeks to bless and prosper those around
you. And to Maureen O’Crean, for insisting that I write all this down in the first
