But I did not slip into a sort of suspended life that would be forever gray and meaningless if you did not somehow come back to me. I put back the pieces of my heart and kept on living. I am not the woman I was when I was in love with you and expecting to marry you. I am not the woman I was when I heard that you were married.

It's vitally important to be specific. "Guides, I'd like you to help me become happy" is a request that causes your spirit guides to shrug their shoulders and look blankly at each other. (Not literally, of course.) On the other hand, "Guides, I want your help in getting that job I've just interviewed for" gives them something to get their teeth into. — Ainslie MacLeod
