At last count, that is how many people we have weaving through this haystack called earth. If we subtract out the ones not living in the USA, we can cut the number down to 310,435,839. Of course no matter our sexual preference, we’re only interested in one half of the population so let’s cut that in half to just over 155,000,000. This is the pile of hay we are left with in which to find our “soul-needle.”
Why "soul-needle"? Because it IS like trying to find a needle in a haystack. Let's admit it... finding the one we are meant to be with is no easy task. We've all felt rather silly looking back on a past relationship, remembering the time we thought: they are the one. I’ve lived many years looking for my elusive “Soul-Needle”. I've had everything from childhood crushes which escalated into Puppy-Love to a 15 year marriage which ended in divorce. I’ve dated, rebounded, and bounced a couple of times before finally landing at the feet of the woman I know is not just the person I am going to spend the rest of my life with, but is the reason I have one…my Soul-Needle.
