I've heard it said that to get what you want, you have to ask for it. And in that spirit, I'm placing an order with the universe. Something I've never really done before. I mean, I'm looking for Mr. Right, so it's time to really put the request out there. To give it out to the world and let it go, trusting that the order is already "being filled", as it were. I mean if you don't ask, you can't get, right?
Dear God/Universe:
