Finding your YOU that leads to TWO
The posts in the Finding Love category relate to bringing love into your life, whether you are currently single, dating, or in a relationship. This category includes topics such as finding yourself, knowing what you want, living your life, etc.
"You know," he said, "the more accepting I am of my own imperfections, the more I can accept yours."
I’ll never forget the night he spoke these words to me. What he was saying was crystal clear to me.
And it was huge coming from him.
But it was what I had suspected for some time. It confirmed what I have long come to know.Continue Reading
There's a girl down the street who reminds me of someone I used to know. She’s barely a teenager and she’s already got the look.
The one that says "Pick me, pick me, please somebody pick me. Make me feel of worth. Make me feel like I’m something."
Make me feel like I matter.
Like I’m attractive. Beautiful. Worthy.
Make me feel like since you picked me I must be worth something. At least to somebody.
She's not the only one. She gets lost in the crowd there's so many of them.
She doesn’t know why she does what she does. She just knows it's what she's supposed to do. She puts herself out there like a showcase to be picked. Competing with all the others just like her, hoping it's her turn this time.Continue Reading
You want to know. No, you need to know.
Is he The One for me?
I get asked this question all the time. Did I know my husband was the one when we were dating? How long did it take before I knew for sure? And how do you know?
Is it the way he makes you feel?
Is it how he treats you?
Is it how much chemistry there is between you?
Well, I can tell you that when we first met, I didn’t know for sure. In fact, since we met twice (with a year and a half between the first and the second time) I can tell you that the first time I definitely didn’t know for sure.
But was it because of anything to do with him? Or was it more likely because I had learned from my long line of heartbreaking experiences with men that it takes more than a date or two to know for sure if anyone is the one?Continue Reading
You’ve asked me what it looks like. You’ve asked me how it happens.
And as much as I try to give you words that I hope will resonate most with you, there is nothing that compares to hearing from someone who was just like you, asking me these same questions.
Someone who wanted nothing more than to know the "what" and the "how" as well.
You met her on the blog about a year and a half ago, when she wrote to me after a devastating breakup, questioning "Will I Ever Find Someone Else?" Now, I have a follow-up letter from her that she wrote to share with our community.
Dear Jane,
I have been meaning to write you for some time now to update you on my journey.
I’m not sure if you would remember me, but I wrote to you about a year and a half ago, writing under the alias “Looking for Hope"...
I had just ended an engagement with an emotionally unavailable man; I felt so heart-broken from my past and scared for the future, but what I felt the most was confusion. I didn’t know how or why what had happened with my ex-fiancé happened, but deep down I knew there were answers to those questions.
It was your blog and coaching sessions that was the beginning of me peeling away to get to the root of that confusion.Continue Reading
You’ve got your list. You know what you want this year.
Love.
Someone special to share your life with. And everything else. But nothing quite compares to love.
And finding him. Finally.
Right?
Ok, so there’s something we have to settle first. Something that’s been holding you back more than you realize, more than any of us realize.Continue Reading
What do we have after the last of the Christmas gifts are unwrapped?
A new resolve. A new determination. Empowered by what we didn’t get but how we survived anyway, we’re emboldened to blaze a new trail and finally find what we missed or didn’t get with the passing of the old.
And so in this week between Christmas and the New Year, we’re filled with a time of reflection of what was and didn’t work and what will soon be the opportunity for everything to be fresh and new and different again.
For those of us without plans for the New Year, or at least New Year’s Eve, we scramble to start making some.
I don’t want to be alone. I don’t want to live like this anymore. I want to DO something. I want MORE.
And the coming New Year with it’s New Year’s resolutions will give us that chance to do exactly that.Continue Reading
