Finding your YOU that leads to TWO
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
We look around and we see so much of what our culture calls strength among our friends, our colleagues, our role models, almost everyone it seems. They let things roll off them, they don’t take everything so personally, they walk away without looking back.
They make everything look so much easier than the way it feels to us.
The way it feels to us.
It’s this part of us that gets the least amount of validation from the world around us and the people who are the least like us. In a world where success is evaluated by the measurable things that have nothing to do with our hearts, it’s no wonder we can feel so wrong, so misplaced, so counter to what we feel so otherwise pressured to be.Continue Reading
We all know the importance of self-love. We’ve heard it so many times, we’ve got it memorized.
You have to love yourself first because someone else can love you.
But what does that really mean?
Does it mean we have to be alone until we get this right? That there’s no hope for us to attract that special someone in our life until we’ve reached a certain level of self-love and emotional, relational health?
That’s just about enough to cause us to give up completely.
Why bother when it seems like we’ll never get there? Why try when everyone else must already be there since they’re meeting him and we’re still so far behind? And while we’re at it, why hope at all when we just keep meeting the same type of men over and over and over again?
Except that this isn’t the whole story.Continue Reading
Why would you want to stay with someone who doesn't want you?
Why would you insist you're getting something out of a relationship where you're getting nothing more than crumbs?
Why would you put yourself through this?
They don't understand. They can’t understand.
Because they’re not in it. You are. And when you're in it, there's nothing else to understand.
Except that you want him.
Except that you need him.
Except that you can't imagine your life without him.
It’s opening night.
All eyes are on the curtain as it slowly begins to rise.
There you are.
He’s looking at you like he’s never seen you before. And with good reason. He hasn’t.
Not like this.
You step out into the spotlight and he sees the woman he’s been waiting for his entire life.
You.
He can’t look anywhere else. You mesmerize him like no one else has ever done before.Continue Reading
What if you just need someone to believe in you?
All those plans, all those dreams.
They told you to find something you could actually do. They gave you all kinds of suggestions that sent the clear message they somehow knew you better than you.
They smiled to themselves, or even laughed.
But more than anything else, what they did was make you feel like there was something the matter with you.
Something wrong, something "off".Continue Reading
