It was love at first sight. Joe Stravisky, a very tall (over 7 feet), regal and sexy man, was wearing "black, ornamented, dazzling boots" that caught Heart Wishbringer by surprise. This porcelain-skinned beauty with white hair or black hair depending on her mood, was thunderstruck and instantly in love.

From the moment these two adventurers met, they spent the next three weeks together. They chatted for hours at a time, never running out of scintillating conversation. They met for the very first time atop a waterfall above a lush green valley. Their romance was magical from the start.

After three weeks of non-stop communication, they got married, stating their vows while standing on top of that same waterfall where they had first met. That's when they both threw caution to the wind, didn't worry about what anybody else might think. They stripped down until totally naked and jumped into the cool water in the pool below.

Love knows no boundaries. These two found passionate, romantic, sustainable forever love, the kind most of us dream about but only a few lucky souls ever attain. These two lovers found it and are still enjoying their shared love today.

Only one glitch to this too good to be true love story. They met online, that is, their avatars met on line. The two real people, Rhonda Lillie lives in California and Paul Hawkins lives in Wales. Neither have abundant money and both are caring for children. Paul is unmarried with two children, one an autistic son, and Rhonda is divorced with 3 children and now lives in her parents' home while she is completing her college degree.
Where did they meet?

Rhonda and Paul met in an online virtual social community called Second Life. They created avatars to express themselves in a way they could not possibly do in their real lives and their real bodies. They are still in love, having only spent a very small amount of real time in real life together. But they chat daily online, using Skype to see each other and to hear each other's voices.

The world is limitless and the possibilities are endless now. We are not limited by attempting to find our match in our nearby local community. We can now search the world to find love and our soul mates.

So, is something limiting you in your search for love? Do you have a tiger inside of you yearning to come out and scratch the surface of the world? Do you have an angel hiding inside an outwardly cynical or cold person? Are you a silent adventurer, wanting to climb mountains and go deep sea diving, although your real life personality could never attempt such feats?

Many of us have scoffed at virtual communities like Second City, but this one couple found love – and this appears to be lasting love. How many others have slowly gotten to know a total stranger across the miles through sharing their fantasies of what life ought to be like? Don’t knock it till you try it.
But if virtual reality doesn’t do it for you and you are having relationship difficulties, then what are you waiting for?

Let go of your fears and face the reality of your situation. Speak to somebody about it, preferably an educated professional. Or find yourself a fantasy avatar psychotherapist, someone who will listen to you, understand you, support you, believe in you, and say whatever you want to hear, while your real life situation remains the same.n

As a member of The National Writers Union for many years, I have been aware of the problems experienced by educated, professional writers. Many have been deprived of their contracted fees. Others have had their writing plagiarized or syndicated without their consent and without payment to the writer by unscrupulous publishers and authors. But the Writers’ Union has done something about that. Jointly, as a group, they have managed to fight for the rights of individual writers.

Reawakening love IS possible. It happens all the time. Just when you most feel like giving up, letting go and moving on, stop and reevaluate before leaving. Yes, there are some relationships that have truly run their course. Perhaps the reason for connecting no longer exists and both would be happier elsewhere. But very often, two people reach an impassem, an inevitable butting of heads and personality differences, and instead of working through the issues they just give up and leave.

What do YOU believe are the 3 causes of all relationship problems? * Inadequate Money? * Not enough or too much Sex? * Friends interfering? * Family triangles and intrusions? * Poor communication? * Emotional Imbalance? Relationships are more complex than many of us care to admit. We choose a person who attracts us because of the way they look, behave and feel. And, inevitably, as we get closer and know each other better, those very same previously wonderful qualities can become a thorn in our side.

Ever since I began seeing my private therapy and coaching clients, over two decades ago, I have been longing to work with a Virtual Assistant. In fact, I wanted this type of personal assistance to help me cope with my family, my relationships, my career path, and even my health many years before this type of service became available online. When I was single, I would often choose a partner who looked good physically or sounded wonderful at first but proved to be either emotionally or financially bereft – and I thought I had made another “bad” choice.r
