"Thank You, More Please": What Getting Engaged Taught Us About Gratitude and Miracles

"The more grateful you are, the more you have to be grateful for."

This was one of the first quotes we ever shared on social media—and it's become the foundation of how we teach singles to attract love. Last week, we lived it in the most magical way possible.

We got engaged.

But this isn't just about our love story. It's a lesson in how the same energy that magnetizes your future love to you can also open doors you may have never thought possible. 

This same energy of attraction—that brought us together—just gave us three "impossible" blessings on our flights home from celebrating our engagement with friends—and it's the exact frequency that will call in the love you're seeking.

Let us explain.

The Blue Diamond Surprise

Roger had been planning this moment for six months, keeping it completely to himself. He studied diamonds until he found the perfect example of what he was searching for: a blue diamond. Knowing Kim's love of the ocean, the golden color of the sand and the blue of the sky, and wanting the ring to be as special and unique as she is, Roger knew without a doubt that he had found the one.

We were on our favorite beach in Malibu, dressed up for dinner—to celebrate five years together, and to take some video beforehand for social media. Kim wore a beautiful blue dress, per Roger’s suggestion, and he wore shades of blue as well. When Roger suggested Kim sit on some nearby rocks for what she thought would be B-roll, the running video was actually capturing something entirely different.

It recorded Roger asking Kim to marry him.

Kim was stunned, over the moon, and her feet have barely touched the ground since.

We then celebrated at the restaurant where we had our first date, waited on by the server who knows us well. Just days later, we flew to Wisconsin to meet dear friends from Chicago for a week in a cozy cabin in The Dells. We were treated to more celebrations—Kim experienced her first champagne sabering, which Roger executed seamlessly—and lifted even higher by the love of our closest friends.

When Gratitude Becomes Your Default

Here's where the story takes an interesting turn—and where the teaching for your own love journey begins.

We'd booked our flights too late to get seats together on our connecting flights to Wisconsin. But we were so elated, so full of joy about our engagement, that we simply let it go. We weren't attached to the outcome.

This is the first key to magnetizing love: being so genuinely fulfilled in your life right now that you can hold your desires lightly, without desperation.

Miracle #1: Champagne in the Last Row

On our very first flight—heading to our connecting city—we were at least seated together, but ended up in the very last row, as far from first class as you can possibly get. A flight attendant was preparing champagne for first class passengers as we boarded, and seeing where we were seated, he said, "Enjoy the party back there."

Roger responded, "We'd have a better party with some of that champagne,” and then proceeded to tell him that we had just gotten engaged. 

Without hesitation, the attendant handed us each a glass.

We got to our seats and did what we always do—gave thanks for what we had. We simply said, "Thank you! More, please!"

Here's what happened: We were grateful for being together, even in the last row. We expressed our desire playfully, without need or demand. And abundance showed up in a form we never expected.

This is exactly how love works. When you're genuinely joyful in your current life—finding fulfillment in your friendships, your work, your creative pursuits—you radiate a frequency that attracts unexpected blessings. You're not performing gratitude to get something. You're living it. And that authenticity is magnetic.

The person who will fall in love with you isn't looking for someone who's desperately incomplete without partnership. That magical person is looking for someone who is already whole, already celebrating life, already raising a glass in the last row because they know how to find joy wherever they are.

Miracle #2: The Only Empty Seat (First Time)

On our connecting flight to Wisconsin, we knew we'd be separated. Roger checked at the gate.

"Absolutely not. This plane is completely full."

So we settled into our separate seats across the cabin from each other. One seat remained empty next to Kim. They announced they were waiting for someone who never arrived.

Out of more than 250 seats, the only available seat when they closed the doors was the aisle seat next to Kim—exactly where Roger always sits when we fly together.

The flight attendant confirmed Roger could move. We were stunned.

Again, we said, "Thank you! More, please!"

Here's the pattern: We stated what we wanted clearly at the gate. We accepted the "no" without resistance. We released attachment to the outcome and settled into our separate seats with grace. And then—impossibly—space opened up for exactly what we'd hoped for.

In your love journey, this looks like: Being crystal clear about the qualities you desire in a partnership. Asking for what you want. And then releasing the desperate grip on how and when it arrives. When you can be at peace in your separate seat—content with your life as it is—you create the energetic space for your person to appear in ways you never could have orchestrated.

Attachment closes doors. Openness allows them to swing wide.

Miracle #3: The Only Empty Seat (Second Time)

A few days later, on our flight home from Wisconsin, the same situation unfolded. Roger asked at the gate.

Same answer: "Completely full."

We even had to gate-check our carry-ons due to the packed plane.

And there was Kim again, middle row, with an empty aisle seat beside her as they closed the doors.

She had someone alert Roger. He double-checked with the attendant, hardly believing it could happen twice. She confirmed.Yes, the doors were closed. Nobody else was boarding.

Once again, out of 250+ seats, we ended up together—exactly as we always sit, Roger on the aisle. Kim to his left. 

We were exploding with gratitude.

The universe was confirming: When you stay in this frequency—gratitude for what is, clarity about what you desire, release of desperate attachment—the pattern repeats. The blessings multiply. The impossible becomes inevitable.

For you, this means: When you align with love internally first, when you practice gratitude and openness as your default way of being, you don't manifest love once and then lose the frequency. You live in a state where miracles become natural. Where doors keep opening. Where your person doesn't just arrive—they stay, because you're both vibrating at the same frequency of abundance and appreciation.

The Practice: "Thank You, More Please" in Your Love Journey

These weren't coincidences. They were the natural result of a practiced way of being—one you can cultivate in your own journey to love.

Here's how to apply this:

1. Cultivate genuine gratitude for your life right now

Not performative gratitude or "I should be grateful" obligation. Real joy in what already is. This might mean savoring your morning coffee ritual, delighting in time with friends, or pursuing creative projects that light you up. When you're genuinely fulfilled, you stop radiating the frequency of "I need someone to complete me" and start radiating "My life is already beautiful, and I'm open to sharing it with someone equally whole."

2. State your desires clearly, then release the grip

Get crystal clear about the qualities you want in partnership. Write them down. Speak them aloud. And then—crucially—let go of controlling exactly how and when they arrive. The desperate energy of "I need this NOW in THIS exact form" repels love. The open energy of "I know what I want, and I trust it's coming" magnetizes it.

3. Say "Thank you, more please" when blessings arrive

This isn't a mantra you repeat before miracles happen—it's your response when they do. The key is paying attention. It's so easy to miss blessings when you're rushing through life or focused on what's still missing. A stranger's kindness, an unexpected moment of beauty, a conversation that shifts your perspective—these are all miracles worth acknowledging. When something wonderful happens (expected or unexpected), pause and say "Thank you, more please!" This practice trains you to notice abundance and stay open to more flowing your way. It shifts you from scarcity thinking ("that was lucky, but it won't happen again") to abundance thinking ("more goodness is always available to me").

Your Turn: Practicing Gratitude and Openness

Here are some questions to guide your own reflection:

What would it look like to desire a loving partnership while being genuinely grateful for your life as it is right now? Not "settling" for singleness, but authentically celebrating the freedom, the growth, the experiences that are uniquely yours in this season.

Where are you holding too tightly to how, when, or where love should arrive? Are you so attached to a specific timeline or type of person that you're closing yourself off to the miraculous ways love might find you?

Can you practice stating your desires clearly, then releasing desperate attachment to the exact form they take? Write down the qualities you want. Then practice saying, "This, or something even better" and truly mean it. 

What small act of gratitude could you practice today? Not for what you don't have yet, but for what already is. The friends who see you. The work that fulfills you. The moments of beauty that cross your path.

The Invitation

When you're grateful for what is while remaining open to what could be, you create space for miracles—big and small. You shift from the frequency of lack to the frequency of abundance. And from that place, love doesn't have to be chased or earned or worried over.

It simply finds you.

Like an empty seat appearing on a fully-booked flight.

Like a glass of champagne reaching the last row.

Like a blue diamond on a Malibu beach.

The doors (and the seats) that open up will blow your mind.

Your person is out there, and they're looking for someone who knows how to celebrate life in the last row, who can release attachment with grace, and who trusts that what's meant for them will find them. The question is: are you ready to step into that same frequency and meet them there?

If so, your most beautiful love story is ready to be written.
