I was reading an article on Oprah's O magazine. A very interesting article written to single people who are looking to partner up. The author Leigh Newman, advised singles this:

The greatest thing about love, I believe, is that it’s the most democratic of human experiences. Anybody can do it, and just about everybody does it (with the exception of sociopaths). What some of us forget to value or recognize is that even if we aren’t doing it in a romantic way, we’re doing it in other ways—and doing it well.
Look at the people you love and who love you back. Now take out the family members, because you didn’t choose them. This leaves your friends. Narrow these down to the three you have the strongest relationship with, the ones who you trust in any situation. At first glance they may seem dissimilar. For example, one may be a quiet stay-at-home mom, another an outspoken interior designer, still another a wisecracking novelist. But your relationships with these three will have a few things in common, even if at first glance these qualities aren’t obvious. Going back to the pals above—which, okay, are my pals—I have to point out that all three are wildly independent people who are also pee- your-pants funny. And...not the best dressers.
This is where I do love well, and luckily after years and years of badly managed romance interactions, I met my husband, who shares all these same traits. Understanding that not only are you—like everybody else—absolutely, positively capable of love, but also that you are awesome at it with certain, very specific people gives you confidence, yes. But it also really narrows down the field.

Pondering this, I thought of my two close buddies (Sunshine and Reflecto) and drummed out a list of their attributes. They:
- Are in touch with Spirit, deeply and intuitively.
- Are Wise beyond their years.
- Are Smart and attractive.
- Eat healthily and take care of their bodies.
- Can both cook well and enjoy good food.
- Adore me and I them.
- Love me as I am packaged.
- Really get me and I them in the spoken and unspoken.
- Are non judgmental.
- Have gone through a life altering experience.
- Are very private.
- Despise drama.
- Laugh easily and often.
- Do not drink or smoke.
- Love family fiercely
- Are very loyal.
- Are confident and regal, as if they were Queens in a previous life.
Thanks Leigh Newman!
