Hi Cotton,

Just wanted to say that I've been following both of your threads and have found them very inspiring.

I have been really up and down about this whole attracting your ex/attracting a specific person thing.

Sometimes I feel totally empowered, and other times I feel it's toxic to cling to this kind of hope. BUT - for a long time, until this past October, I had very split energy on this subject. Not only were my own desires going back and forth, but I have come across so many spiritual teachers that have flat out said you can't attract a specific person, it's against their free will, or...even if you do and you can, it won't really be what you want. In other words, the saying that is beaten into almost every person on this earth's brains - be careful what you wish for.

Needless to say, it's stirred a lot of doubt. Even though I believe that you can attract someone, even in the LOA community, we've been told so, so much that you can't. 

But with posts like yours, and Lanie sharing her awesome story about manifesting her ex back (which I barely read the other day - I had been trying to avoid that section), it is so helpful and so inspiring...and more importantly, it's comforting and gives people hope. 

I ave been doing that a lot too & he is engaged to someone else.
Now, I am going to focus on me & figure out what I really want. I am completely healed from my fall & ready to start my marathon training so that will put me in a good frame of mind.

Thank you Cotton for the wise words.

OMG! That is one crazy story!!!!!!!
Glad that you are ok.
 

Just catching up on this, as I have been out of comission due to a bad fall, I am happy for you awesome sauce :D that is very cool!!!
