and... Exhale

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the number of moments that take our breath away...

Everybody needs Somebody

We were born to love and be loved.

Yet somewhere along the way, life tells us to be independent, take care of yourself, and not rely on anyone but yourself.  THOSE ARE SOME MIXED MESSAGES!   It’s no wonder we have so many divorces and relationships that challenge us.  It is our nature to love and we naturally seek connection and relationships yet when we find it, often we resist it...finding ourselves frustrated or even feeling weakened by the power of love because in some way it seems to feel like we lose our identity. Controlling?  Suffocating?  Trapped?  

Or that you have a commitment phobia? Can't trust?  Or are afraid of getting hurt?  I have felt these emotions and empathize with others that feel this way too, it is so common.  But what if... just what if, you allowed yourself to climb into your heart and serve your soul’s desires to love and be loved?  Is it possible that allowing yourself to connect... it could... it would EMPOWER you?  And submitting to another in utmost trust and faith would not make you weak or controlled but rather set you free knowing you have someone on your side.  I do believe it’s very important to achieve independence but in all my life, the most powerful thing I have ever experienced is allowing myself to love and be loved… to allow for the unpredictable and out of my control energy to flow and to trust by the sheer grace of faith.  Everybody needs somebody and having someone to rely on and need can be a very powerful experience.  NO ONE IS PERFECT... so stop looking for a reason why it won’t work or justifying for holding back from it all.  There will never be a better time other than the moment in which it happens.  Don’t give up on people... love or relationships.  God only knows what life will bring... there will be times in which being your biggest fan will be all you need but my hope for all is that everyone finds that someone that is the number one fan through thick and thin... good times and bad.  My wish for all is to love and be loved, to trust and to feel free to be!  So make a promise today to connect and allow others in to be there for you and to love you.  You are so worth it... and lucky for those YOU love back!
