1/ I’ve been thinking about #soulmates for a while. For years, actually, when I began collecting stories from people about these connections.

2/ I realized everybody has a story. A defining jolt of clarity they can describe with vividness, sadness, regret or awe when reflecting on “the moment.” Even when cracking jokes about it, they *knew*.

3/ I've nurtured this idea for a long time; it sprang from my travels. All over the world, in every culture I visited, I would ask this question: "How did you know they were *The One*? (An intimate question, indeed!) I'd ask an elderly married couple,

4/ young #lovers, widows, people from every walk of life, education level, race and age. Every time, without fail, I was told a #story. Sometimes heartbreaking. (More on this in an upcoming episode).

5/ Over the years, I've collected a fair amount of these stories and, as ideas grow and take shape, I began to contemplate a type of *cyber phone booth* where people could come and tell their story (anonymously, if they so wished).

6/ Very performance art, at first. :)

That's the impetus for this massive crowdsourced project, which will likely take the better part several months to fully realize.

7/ We begin the chronicle.

8/ These are beautiful, tragic, moving, strange #romantic stories.

9/ Stories of magnetic eros connections gone hella wrong or ridiculous #sexual attraction you can’t explain. *You just can’t explain it*. You were warned, and you did it anyway.

10/ What is this? It’s a new #audio #miniseries “Prelude to a Kiss” by writer-producer @CavanaughBardo and we want to hear *your* story.

11/ Stories about synchronicities. The chance, fated meeting. The undeniable #coincidence . The one where you turned down the *wrong* street..

12/ Called in sick to work *that* day. Missed your flight, train, job interview...and *then*. Stories about #twinflames, love at first sight, paranormal love.

13/ A chance encounter at a party (and you *hate* parties). You hadn't planned to attend....and there *she* was…there *he* was...

14/ How can you help? Well, you can tell us *your* story, tell a friend about the project, an ex lover, family member or old college mate, tell them about this idea and send them our way!

15/ Some of this can be down right funny (and it is!) or perplexing; it’s the zone for unbelievable, bizarre, crazy, beautiful, obsessions! The #soulmate kind.

16/ Here’s the audio trailer for the show.

17/ Find more info on how to participate, episodes/themes in the works and, importantly, how record that first taste of your story. (I’ll keep everyone up to date.)

18/ Here’s the virtual confessional booth (metaphorically speaking) where you can leave a voice message (this is the *first* step).
