PERSONAL/ LOVE LETTER: MY DEAREST

My Dearest...I have been afraid of living, afraid of loving, afraid of giving myself to you; all the while asking you to live, love, and give yourself to me. I have asked you to abandon the walls that surround your heart without fully abandoning my own. I have held onto pain and darkness and allowed fear to invade me to the point of losing myself and all that I stand for.  When my pain got the best of me, I avoided asking you to help me through it...thinking that your fears and your pain would only seek to shame me for my own.


I have looked for reasons to be annoyed, angry, or depressed instead of counting my many blessings and reasons to be happy. I have been human...I have been humbled...and I've witnessed my own Hell as a result of allowing ego to rule my world. With this pain, I step into a place of tremendous personal growth and am finding a strengthening of Spirit that is helping me to grow with every passing day. A strength that has shown me how and why to fully love, give, and trust in all. As I grow and I look at our life and our love with a renewed and enlightened vision, I give to you the following Invitation with no expectations other than for you to know how truly and deeply I love you...
