Ten years ago I would have loved to have stumbled
upon the book you are now holding in your hands!
At that time, I was a forty-year-old single woman
with many blessings to count. I was healthy and
creatively fulfilled, and my career was thriving. In fact
my life was firing on all cylinders except one: I still
hadn‘t found my soulmate. During those years,
Arielle (who was then the brilliant publicist for my
Chicken Soup for the Woman‘s Soul books) and I
spent many long hours on the phone lamenting our
plight. Here were two kind, intelligent, passionate,
successful women wondering, Where are all the
good men?? If there is such a thing as a ―Poor Me‖
Club, Arielle and I were certainly members in good
standing.
Because we talked almost daily, I had a front-row
seat to witness the remarkable sequence of events
that unfolded as Arielle began applying the powerful
Law of Attraction to her love life. The fact that she
manifested a loving, supportive, and nurturing
relationship with a man as wonderful as Brian
certainly inspired me. And her ability to take those
timeless principles to the final frontier—the domain
of intimate relationships—provided a clear blueprint
that I followed. One year after Arielle met her
soulmate, I met mine.
In the film and book The Secret, I shared that
most of us have been conditioned to seek outer
circumstances like wealth, success, and intimate
relationships because we believe those things will
make us happy. In fact I‘ve discovered (and wrote
about in depth in Happy for No Reason) that it‘s the
other way around. The happier we are, the more
easily we draw to us everything we want.
Every moment of every day, we are sending out
energetic signals that are felt by the people around
us. This explains why a desperate person draws to
himself or herself more desperation, while a person
who is already fulfilled becomes a magnet for
greater fulfillment. If we want to attract life partners
who are happy, passionate, and empowered, we
must first seek to generate these feelings within
ourselves.
This is the exact formula Arielle followed with
great success in her own life and now prescribes—
clearly, practically, and inspirationally—in this book.
The Soulmate Secret guides you through enjoyable
processes and hands-on exercises that help you to
savor and celebrate the love you already have in
your life, as you prepare yourself on all levels to
share that love with another.
As you begin this beautiful journey, I invite you to
focus a little less on the happiness you‘ll extract from
your soulmate relationship, and a little more on the
happiness, love, and contentment you want to bring
to this relationship. Trust that the timing will be
perfect and that, as you fall more deeply in love with
yourself, your beloved will be drawn to you like a
moth to a flame. See that, know that, feel it all around
you, and experience the gratitude as your heart‘s
desire is fulfilled.

With love,

introduction

The minute I heard my first love story,
I started looking for you not knowing how
blind that was.
Lovers don‘t finally meet somewhere;
they‘re in each other all along.
Rumi

Have you ever wondered what it takes to meet the
love of your life? Is it your dream to find a life partner
who will love, cherish, and adore you? If you‘re
longing for a soulmate, this book will show you how
to use the Law of Attraction to prepare yourself in
body, mind, and soul for the arrival of your beloved.
As someone who didn‘t meet and marry my
soulmate until I was forty-four, I learned a lot along
the way about what does and doesn‘t work in the
world of love and romance. I dated controlling men,
passive-aggressive men, men who ignored me, and
men around whom I felt insignificant and small. In
other words, I‘ve been with my share of losers! But I
also discovered a formula—what I‘m calling the
Soulmate Secret—for becoming a magnet for deep
and passionate love.
This wonderful Universe of ours is set up to deliver
to us the people and experiences that are consistent
with our personal belief systems. If you don‘t believe
you will ever find ―The One,‖ then guess what? You
get to be right…you probably won‘t. If, however, you
learn to believe that The One is not only out there but
