With a new year begun and the changes we envision for ourselves fresh in our minds and hearts, it's an apt time to look at manifesting our intentions. Many of us set intentions around love and partnership, but are unsure of what steps to take next. I spoke with author and friend Arielle Ford about manifesting one's soulmate, a process she details in her new book The Soulmate Secret. Arielle talks about soulmates as not only romantic partners, but as friends, children and even pets. She believes too that we are not limited to one soulmate in life but can several relationships that feel timeless or like 'home' to us.

Arielle's intent is "To share with millions of people that having BIG LOVE in your life is your divine right." I invite you to try out our new feature that allows you to comment on Arielle's intent.  Also, please share your intentions and stories on love and soulmates.

During our conversation, we talked about how Arielle manifested her BIG LOVE, her husband Brian, and how I met my husband, Sumant. Do you have a story about finding big love or are you on the journey now? We'd love to feature your story in a series we're putting together for Valentine's Day in February. Please tag your post 'big love' so we can be sure to include it.
