We have a choice of the love we get to experience in relationships.
Part 1
Part 2
We can make them hard, aggravating, taxing or frustrating,
or we can make them easy, enjoyable, exciting, and fulfilling.
They can be based on blame, control, resentment and fear,
or on respect, honor, appreciation, support and freedom.
From what I’ve known about love and the world of love most of us have grown up in,
relationships are often a mix of both.
A delicious love in appreciation is easy when things are smooth
and we are on the same page with each other.
But it does seem that when it comes down to really engaging the tough times,
blame, control, resentment and fear show up more powerfully,
while we attempt to protect our hearts, egos, security and positions.
Many of our words and actions speak for themselves,
though often it is difficult to see the role we personally play,
and the vibration we exude that sets things in motion.
My most recent love relationship has shown to me the full spectrum of my vibrations.
I manifested opportunity to bask in my highest highs, as well as drown in my lowest lows!
Falling in love with a conscious man 24 years my junior
(at the time I was twice his age),
especially after having been married for 25 years to a man 16 years my senior,
provided me plenty of opportunity to face what I never even knew I had in me.
Years of insecurities, fears, doubts and manifestations
came as a whopping topping to the peaceful, delicious, soulful years
I experienced with him in intimate communion.
From the very onset of our relationship I had to question myself
and face years of conditioning.
I had to stand in the judgment of my friends, family and on-lookers.
You see, a woman with a man much older than she was only
sometimes uncomfortable for society to handle.
But a woman (especially a divorced one) with a substantially younger man
(who just so happened to be the eldest son of her best friend)
not only raised lots of eyebrows,
but also put people on edge and gave them something to secretly talk about.
And thus our adventure toward unconditional love began…….
