Dear Soulmate Manifesters, 

This weekend we went to see the new Garry Marshall film Valentine’s Day which stars half of Hollywood’s A-list including Julia Roberts, Ashton Kutcher, Bradley Cooper, Jessica Alba, Jessica Biel, Queen Latifah, Shirley MacLaine, etc, etc.

I totally enjoyed this fluffy, light-hearted two-hour film that featured two of my favorite TV guys – Eric Dane and Patrick Dempsey (both from Grey’s Anatomy).

When it was over, Brian who bless his heart sat through it with me, asked me what I liked about it. I thought about it for awhile….and finally told him that “it’s like eating cotton candy – sweet, pretty, and fun.”

I began to wonder…what is it about sappy love stories and romantic comedies that capture our fancy? I decided to ask an expert, psychologist Dr. Gay Hendricks. He explains it this way: “Growing up, girls have a great deal more opportunity to create fantasies and scenarios of love…later in life these movies remind us of these earlier sweet, innocent feelings.”

Is there a benefit to seeing these kinds of movies? “Yes, anything you can do to trigger these feelings has a healing benefit…it’s like dipping your nerve endings in honey.”

Should men see these films?
“Actually, love stories can open them up and teach them relationship skills. Successful relationships depend on your ability to be present with your own feelings and your partner’s feelings. Often in a romantic comedy, the heart of the story is about clearing up some kind of communication glitch. We don’t get much training in that in school, so watching movies can teach us how to do this.”

So, what is Gay’s favorite film about love? Moonstruck starring Cher and Nicholas Cage. “I love this film because one of the big lessons in it is to hold out for love rather than settling for less. Hold out for the passions of your heart.”

Amen to that.

Wishing you love, laughter, and magical kisses,

Arielle

THE SPIRIT WHISPERER

There’s a special language that transcends time and space—a language that’s not constrained by the limitations of just words—but one that consists of signs, symbols, energy, and thought. A language that can only be heard when one truly listens. It’s the language of The Spirit Whisperer. This work chronicles John Holland's career to date and includes some enlightening and heartfelt real-life case studies.

The Spirit Whisperer: Chronicles of a Medium


The Reincarnationist

By M.J. Rose is equal parts modern-day thriller, historical fiction and love story. The exploding bomb in Rome that nearly took news photographer Josh Ryder's life triggered in him a series of wildly strange historical flashbacks. Memories of his past lives in ancient Rome as Julius, a pagan priest in a desperate mission to save his love, and in Victorian New York as Percy Talmage, son of the Phoenix Foundation founder, haunt Josh as he tries to bring his episodes under control. Rose's engrossing thriller effortlessly leaps to and fro through the centuries. Dramatic suspense and intriguing characters expertly set the stage for this first in a series.
