Today’s song jumped out at me…

…and it feels like the nagging little sister that wants attention.

When I had the idea to meditate on love, this song was the first that came to mind. I planned to write about this song later, but I feel guided to write about it now.

I honestly don’t know where this post is going?

For the past three years, I have felt ready for love. There were a few sweet memories and some upsets. Nothing has stuck.

I once was hesitant to love, because of past hurt, but I have since healed my heart whole. I knew I had a few more steps to grow into the woman that is fully ready for the love I desire and deserve.

While I have entertained the idea to settle in recent years, settling never looked good on me. And it doesn’t look good on anyone else either.

Old thought patterns no longer interfere with what I know deep within my heart.

I wonder how many people really fall into love versus settle into it?

There are not a lot of solid examples of deep, healthy love that I feel we are all capable of giving and receiving.

I want my ideal romantic partner to encompasses only five qualities, which is nothing compared to a lot of women. These qualities speak to his character, they are sign posts of a man that is on the journey (that I am on) and has done inner work (which I have done and continue to do) and they reveal my standards and self-worth.

People have told me the type of man that I am looking for doesn’t exist. I believe he exits, but over time, I started to wonder, does he?

This weekend I realized I never allowed anyone to limit my vision of my life and my career, so why allow people to project their reality or belief of love onto me?

I have always said, if I exist, then my equal counter part exists.

While this man isn’t in my life yet, I am meeting men that have many of the qualities I seek in a romantic partner.

Last year I let go and fully started to trust life. Now I take the same oath to trust love, because it is the same source as life itself.

Don’t settle for less then you deserve.
