This book is dedicated to my partner in life, Shawn Moninger, who came from out of nowhere when I least expected him, and brought me a life filled with love and spiritual connection that I never could have imagined.
I would like to thank all the wonderful couples and individuals who so generously and inspiringly shared their “How They Met” stories with me and allowed me to share them with you.

If it hasn’t worked out yet,
then it’s not the end.”
