not over work yourself. Patience is a virtue and it would help you to bear that in mind.
"I can take a look at your love life next if you'd like. Would you like that?" Merlin looked at the beautiful young woman before him and wished he was a much younger man. She had a beautiful feminine energy that matched her slim figure and flowing long brown hair.
Julie blushed and looked at Linda, "This is amazing, so far, he's been very accurate. I'm not sure I really want to look at my love life. Maybe we should quit while we're ahead."
Merlin smiled, "We can stop now if you like, it's entirely up to you."
Julie moved her hands closer to Merlin. "Oh don't mind me, the curiosity is killing me, go on, please."
Merlin looked down at Julie's hands and resumed the reading. "Very well. Let's take a look. Hmm, it appears that you are coming to the end of a period of reflection, a time when you needed to pause, to reevaluate who you are and what you really want. This is good and very necessary. When this consolidation period comes to an end, shortly, you will meet someone special but where you least expect it. At first, he will not be what you're looking for and sparks will fly. In fact, you may dislike this person intensely before love eventually blooms. If you both choose, this will become true love."
Julie giggled, "Really? I hope you're right."
Linda whispered, "He's always right, trust me."
Merlin laughed, "It's not me, I'm just telling you what 's already in your mind, your intentions that are out of view, and the path you are currently on. Anyway, it was great to meet you. Julie, your future is bright, enjoy every minute of it."

Julie had finished rearranged her wardrobe with Linda's help. She now had a new look, stylish new clothes, a new hair style and a wonderful array of new shoes to choose from. She bagged up the old clothes and sang along to the music pumping out of the TV. She was so excited she could barely contain herself.
She'd made other changes too. Reluctantly, at first, she'd tried speed dating, on Linda's insistence, and even enjoyed it. It was a blast sizing up a guy in seconds and doing your best to impress with a ticking clock counting down. She had met one nice guy, or so she thought, but he'd turned out to be a pervert. One date and she ended up storming out of the restaurant because of his lewd comments.
Still, she was unperturbed. She'd sort through the chaff and she would eventually find a good man, it was just a matter of time. She knew that.
Then of course there was always Merlin's Blind Dating Service, that had proved to be very interesting. From time to time Merlin would email her a profile that he felt would be a good match. He never provided a photo only a nickname and an email address. Merlin explained that he could tell which couples were a good potential match. Julie had dismissed the idea as hocus pocus until Linda revealed that it was Merlin's Blind Dating Service that had introduced her to her future husband. Once she heard that, Julie signed up on the spot. Within days, Merlin had emailed her what he called her perfect match, a guy she only knew as, FastDriver.
A daily email exchange between FastDriver and her, BlueCat, quickly became the highlight of the day. He was witty, smart and very sophisticated. Later they would exchange photos if the dialogue moved along and they both felt they had a connection. Hopefully soon. The only issue with FastDriver was his location, based in Cardiff, he was a long way from London. Still, if they clicked they'd find a way to make it work.
For the first time in longer than she could remember Julie was optimistic about the future. Her weekends were full with horse riding, volleyball and tennis. She was fitter and happier, she'd lost those extra 11 lbs that had stubbornly clung to her for years. Everyone said she looked fabulous and she felt even better than she looked.
The funny thing was, she didn't know if she even had time to have
