Becoming a Butterfly


 It has finally happened.
Back to Full Blog  


Hi everyone... Happy Monday. Have you ever looked for something and found it right under your nose? That has happened to me. I know that I have driven all of you crazy talking about Kevin, who is the "love of my life". Meanwhile I have had a friend , let's call him Joel for about 25 years. We hang out, we go to church together, go out to eat. all the things that friends do. Last night he came over and brought me some things that he got for me in San Diego. He went to a conferance there. He is a shrink. I went outside to meet him and my heart did flip flops. It freaked me out. I realized that friendship has turned to love. I think that he has loved me for a long, long time but I always considered him just a friend. He has been there for me when my life turned upside down. He loves me with no make up, if I gain a pound or two. He loves me. He accepts me. He stands beside me. He would NEVER have done what kevin did to me. Never. He is a good and honest man. I am happy. I am in love and I wanted to share it with you... My friends.

How wonderful!! I'm SO happy for you! He's been right under your nose all this time & you've just now noticed. Well, better late than never! Lucky that "Joel for about 25 years" waited too. My heart is smiling for you.

ValAnne,

Do you know the principle of relinquishment?

The Principle of Relinguishment says this - When we hold onto something, it locks out all other possibilities, when we let go, new possibilities are allowed it.

It is one of the hardest principles to learn because it is so paradoxical.

All love that has not friendship for its base,
is like a mansion built upon the sand.
~ Ella Wheeler Wilcox

I saw that and thought of you and your post.

I am very happy for you.

Good for you ValAnne. I am so glad that you have found love. Enjoy it, you deserve it. I doubt that I will ever find anyone to love me. You see I have a mental illness. I have Bi-Polar disorder with psychotic tendencies. But I do fairly well if I take my meds. And I always take them. I hope you and your new found love will last forever.
