Jenny has spent the last 12 years involved with the online dating scene. Being fascinated with the social dynamics of this particular cultural phenomenon combined with the acceptance that her life is a journey filled with interactions that are much like a wine tasting event, Jenny is modestly engaged with the entertainment online dating provides.
One spring day William is browsing the personals. Spring is a time when the change of the seasons is quite powerful. Fall and spring have this power over men making them either want to nest because it is getting cold or frolic because it is getting warm. Either way the change of seasons inspires men without companions to capture one.
William is in his mid 40s tall, passionate, confident and amused by his own pass times. William plays in a jazz/blues band, sings in a choir and teaches music to young people. His day job is not so fulfilling, but lucrative. William longs to meet the love of his life—he is quite a romantic. This is a new awakening for William. After spending years in a loveless marriage, William awoke with a desire for a deep kind of love, hoping it wasn’t too late. Being a romantic he thinks there is time and that it possible. Not finding the deep love he longs for among his networks--he decides to try online dating. He looks through many pictures, reads many profiles and when he encounters Jenny—and her laughing eyes—he feels something stir in his chest. He decides to introduce himself.
Jenny--a personals veteran--has decided to have coffee with one of her latest personals contacts. She is skeptical about this one. She can usually tell from a few emails and phone conversations whether there is chemistry. She is getting mixed vibes—good email humor, not so great phone conversation. In it a way it warrants a quick coffee—it is not like the commitment of dinner or something where escape becomes awkward if the union is excruciating. So, coffee it is. Dale is very handsome—tall, nice everything. However, the chemistry is a bit too sexually charged—as if Dale is checking this one out for a quick fling. Dale also has a youthful spirit. It is cute, but Jenny is attracted to “old soul” wisdom. Not being turned on by a youthful, sexually charged encounter—at least at this time--Jenny and Dale part ways and neither phones the other again.
One morning Jenny notices there is a little love note in her personals mailbox. This one is from William. Jenny begins to read William’s email….

Manifesting
I just learned something important from Summer McStravick (http://www.flowdreaming.com/) about manifesting. She said life is a "dance" between surprise and my personal power. I love that image! She also said that it is like going to the movies. We go for the surprise in story, but we get to pick which movie we go to.
I am picking a romantic comedy for my life at the moment. Comedies are light-hearted plots consistently and deliberately designed to amuse and provoke laughter (with one-liners, jokes, etc.) by exaggerating the situation, the language, action, relationships and characters.
Here is the synopsis: Jenny O is a capable woman—interested in learning about people, cultures, food—understanding the social world. She travels and does research in many places. She is laid back and fun loving.
Jenny is a part of a circle of friends—kind of like a Sex and City crew. They meet for drinks, brunch, they travel together—they talk on the phone—talk about the men in their lives, hopes, dreams and desires. After having a series of romantic mishaps on her travels—Jenny decides to through off the shackles of convention and have a man in every port she docks. In this romantic comedy Jenny learns how fulfillment can come in many forms and that sharing your life with one person may be overrated.
She also learns that while having fun there is a greater calling she is drawn to attend to. She starts to have clarity about her travels and her work need to evolve into something more productive, more creative. This sequel will be a drama.
Dramas are serious, plot-driven presentations, portraying realistic characters, settings, life situations, and stories involving intense character development and interaction. Usually, they are not focused on special-effects, comedy, or action.
Stay tuned for the adventure/little action sequel. Adventure films are usually exciting stories, with new experiences or exotic locales, very similar to or often paired with the action film genre. Action films usually include high energy, big-budget physical stunts and chases, possibly with rescues, battles, fights, escapes, destructive crises (floods, explosions, natural disasters, fires, etc.), non-stop motion, spectacular rhythm and pacing, and adventurous, often two-dimensional 'good-guy' heroes (or recently, heroines) battling 'bad guys' - all designed for pure audience escapism.
In this film Jenny O writes a novel about a woman who gets in trouble, fakes her own death and disappears. Jenny is excited to learn about these new topics. She is most excited about experiencing life through the lens of “living off the grid.” This is when her life will evolve into an action, adventure movie.
