• If having a list takes some of the magic out of a romance that’s okay. Sometimes magic comes at a price I’m unwilling to pay.

My first sponsor suggested I make a list of what I want in a partner. It looks like a partnership may form soon, and I’m making lists now out of what I want in this situation, what private things I want to be careful not to let become secret, these sorts of things. That first sponsor taught me that making lists organizes thoughts, and sometimes patterns or ideas emerge as a result, and my experience has backed this up. At the very least the clarity helps.
