Relationships are the most potent ways we get to see
the manifestation of how we love.
Most relationships go through phases of ups and downs,
but the foundation on which we build
sets the tone for the overall experience.
When relationships are easy, enjoyable, exciting, and fulfilling,
they are generally based on respect, honor, appreciation, support and freedom.
When relationships are hard, aggravating, taxing or frustrating,
they are generally based on blame, control, resentment and fear.
Many people believe that the other person
is responsible for the majority of the success or failures in the relationship.
Some, however, are aware that they themselves are responsible for their own experience,
and that their relationships unfold in alignment with the self.
I've had so many opportunities to see how my own vibration,
thoughts, feelings, emotions, empowerments and limitations
have dictated my experience in love.
In my younger relationships and while I was raising my children,
I wasn't aware just how much these loves were a reflection of me.
I had insight staring me right in the face.
Had I realized that, my evolutionary process could have been much quicker,
and my path toward unconditional love much easier.
Unconditional love takes real introspection.
Taking responsibility for how we ourselves are engaging relationships
can give us the power to make them rich!
I have been blessed in my love relationships with my children,
my friends, my boyfriends, manfriends and was-band of about 25 years,
as well as those with my friends and extended family.
They were mostly easy and enjoyable, but now that I look back,
they could have been so much more potent had I known then what I know now.
I'll continue to share with you my soul's journey toward unconditional love,
and some of the experiences that have challenged me to the core of my being.
Join me soon for Part 3
