“Forever doesn’t last these days”.

It’s Friday night and I am relaxing listening to Jazmine Sullivan. As time draws closer to days that at one time had a significance to me; I allow the words of the songs to resonate. With all the talk about the true difficulties that come with making a relationship work, I acknowledge that love does not come easy! Relationships take work! Marriages, Family, True Friendships, they all take work! There will not always be a continuous cycle of good times! It is how you choose to bounce back from whatever is coming at you that matters!
When you have given that everything your everything to your depletion, it is time to make different choices. Matters of the heart are tricky! Being mindful of where you are emotionally in that moment is key. Pray through it, sit on it, pray again and then when the time is right move on it. Keep Pressing! While things must change, you still have to keep pressing. The choice is yours. #LifeLessons

I saw through him.   I focused on maintaining my calm and on the matter that brought us together. Our child’s crisis. In this moment, nothing was more important than to show up for her. Be present and supportive and to remove myself from the situation.   This was no easy task with what seemed like a determination to trigger me, or was it being in a space with a

If Only I Could

If Only I Could   If I could allow myself to believe.   I would believe in a happy ending.  I would believe I could exist with someone in a space of peace.  That I would find someone who makes me feel seen, heard and protected.   I would believe things can be loving, drama free and flow naturally.    If I could believe.   If I had the experience of being in a space with someone who gives me room to be me. Who supports, encourages me and loves me without judgement.  Someone who would be mindful of my heart and loyal in their conduct.  Then maybe I could believe.    If only I could believe that there may be someone who frees me of my doubts and skepticism.  Who I can be at “rest” with.  Who makes me not want to run. Who is patient enough to work through the walls I have built. Who I can love without fear and reservation.  Who makes it easy to enjoy this journey.    If only I could.   If only.
