You are a gift – there is no one else in this world like you. Your life, therefore, will be just as unique. Embracing a life that is true to your heart and soul’s callings can be challenging in a world of expectations, labels, and ingrained social norms. This series is about creating a life that is true to who you are, based on the only story I am qualified to write about: mine.

Take a 15-Minute Soul Break

/in ,

Ahhhh….. What a difference a 15-minute unplanned soul break can make in the middle of a busy day. 

Am I ever glad I listened when my soul said “Turn left!” on my way home from running a bunch of errands with my housemate’s car yesterday.

I’d spent the morning taking down an art show, checking on a print order for a customer, and exchanging the broken microphone I’d recently purchased to make better-quality videos for my blog/website.  I was tired and hungry.

When I was less than 5 minutes from home, the sun broke through after a few days of wind and snow storms.

I cranked my neck to see out the St. John’s harbour as I drove through downtown.  By the time I got the intersection that leads to both Cape Amherst and Cape Spear, I had no choice but to turn left.

I know better than to ignore those soul callings.

My stomach and the rest of my to-do list could wait. As long as I was home for my phone-meeting at 2pm, I’d be fine.

I didn’t even drive all the way down to the Cape Ameherst lighthouse. I made it to the first parking lot and walked along the pier for 15 minutes with my camera.  That’s all it took to get me back on track.

It’s hard to believe I live about 5 minutes by car from where I took these!

I may have a river running through the backyard, but I have such a deep connection to the ocean. It pulls me and lifts me up.

I love St. John’s!

I’d been wanting snowy pictures of the Battery every since I moved here in 2011. I spent 2 months that summer living in one of those houses at the base of Signal Hill, right by the trail head. Click on a photo if you want to see it larger.

So where can you go for a 15-minute soul break in the middle of the day today? Trust me. It’s worth it. You’re worth it.

Does Religion Matter?

/in , ,

“One In Love” (9″ x 12″) – $357

Someone asked me this week: “Can I still benefit from your services if I have a traditional religious belief system?”

It’s not the first time someone asks, so I’m glad to share.

My intuitive readings, guided meditations or energy painting commissions aren’t part of any one religion, nor are they meant to go against any.

In my opinion, my visionary skills are complimentary to your belief system, no matter what that is.

I offer what I do to help strengthen your Connection, your intuition, your ability to hear your Inner and Greater Guidance.

The true answer, though,  lies in how you feel.

I believe you’ll benefit no matter your religion, as long as you’re open to seeing your Self through the eyes of Unconditional Love.

The names and labels we put on that will vary.

But if you believe that you’re being supported by something greater than your human incarnation, then you’ll be open to the messages that flow through me.

I’ve come to realize that no matter the religion or language used, the essence and purpose are the same: to unite as One In Love (the name of this painting).

It’s about letting love in, so it can shine back into the world and beyond – whatever you call that.  

It’s about being the best we can be for our own Highest Good and the good of all humanity.

So it’s not about the names or categories of benevolent helpers that matter. It’s your openness to receiving their help.

 

“Are you religious ?”

I’m a deeply spiritual person.

My personal relationship with Source has been dear to me my whole life.

I was raised Catholic and am grateful for that upbringing because it put a language and context to the connection I already felt within me and around me.

Having lived in several continents and across Canada, however, my spirituality has become more universal.

I’m equally comfortable with

  • God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit, and saints
  • The Universe, Divine Oneness,
  • Great Spirit and totem animals
  • your ancestors
  • Hindu gods/goddesses like Ganesh or Saraswati
  • Mother Earth and the elementals
  • Father Sun, Mother Moon, astrology
  • Buddha and other wise teachers
  • Higher Self
  • Angels, Spirt Guides
  • Quantum physics
  • etc.

“Will you know which of my Guides are working with you ?”

Although I’m a highly visual person who’s been blessed with the gift of visions, I usually sense the presence of what I sometimes refer to as your “Team of Divine Helpers” or “Higher Council”.  I don’t necessarily see them, but the symbolism they want you to work with.

The essence of your team comes through me as One for you to meet them within your own belief system.

I feel their love flowing through me to you, but I don’t see them in a way that would allow me to identify them.  Not usually, anyway.

Who and what you’ll meet along the way (in a guided meditation, for example) will be unique to you. My offerings often present an opportunity for you to meet them, which is the real purpose.

 

“How do your intuitive services fit within traditional religious belief systems ?”

My intuitive readings, guided meditations, and energy paintings are simply tools to access your own Guidance.

If you’ve been curious about my offerings, this in itself is a sign that there may be something here for you.

The beauty is that you’re always free to take what serves you and leave the rest.

I offer my own exploration and expression of my love of beauty and the beauty of love to help you on your path.

Listen to your heart, and you’ll know if I can be of service to you.

And if you have any other questions, I’d love to hear from you in the comments below.

P.S. You can find “One In Love” in the Original Paintings section of my online shop.

Where is Your Heart Calling You To?

/in ,

“Anahata Awakening” (9″ x 12″) – SOLD

Remember after Christmas when I told you that Ireland’s been calling me (see post)?

Well, that’s not where I’m going.

Keep reading… I’ll eventually tell you where it is I am going. But first, more of a lead up.

I’ve been paying attention, but haven’t received any clearer guidance on Ireland, so I haven’t acted on it. Obviously, though, it’s influencing my art. You can see it above.

This is “Anahata Awakening”, one of the 7 chakra jewels I painted in my recent art marathon. Anahata means “heart”. Thanks to my friend Sadie Jane for giving me the name.

This simple cobra yoga pose is a heart-opening pose bathed in heart chakra greens. As she wraps around a magical Celtic design, she opens herself to the love flowing from the inside out and outside in.

Thanks also to the Irish artist Courtney Davis for allowing me to use the line drawing from his book “Knotwork & Spirals”, which is deepening my appreciation of Celtic design.

“The spiral has always been a very magical symbol representing the evolution of the universe and growth in nature, and is associated with primitive dances of healing and incantation. These offer escape from the material world, and an entrance into the otherworld through the ‘hole’ symbolized by the mystic centre.”

He speaks my language.

So there you have it. I’m still following my Irish flow, but have no idea where it’s leading. It won’t be a trip in May like I thought it might be.

Sure, I found many things I could do there and places I could go to deepen both my spiritual and cultural appreciation of some of my ancestral roots. But I didn’t get that clarity I’m used to when Spirit calls.

Not for that anyway.  Not yet.

How about you?

Is your heart calling you? Are you hearing whispers? Or are you feeling so pulled that you know you can overcome all obstacles – real or imagined – to get there?

Well I did.  And yes, the details surprised me.

I’m heading to the Ultimate Sales Bootcamp in San Diego in May.  It’s part of a more intensive online program I’m now doing with Lisa Sasevich called “Speak to Sell”.

Now you might cringe at that program name. I did.  But that’s part of the problem.

Obviously, I still think that sharing what I do might be a disservice to others. Isn’t it the other way around?

Also, it’s true that I paint and channel because I love it.  But if I don’t sell, I can’t keep going as a full-time artist and won’t be able to create the intuitive programs that are in me to create.  That whole “starving artist” thing just doesn’t fit me.

We’re not meant to continually concern ourselves with the nitty-gritty of earning a living. We’re meant to thrive and follow our calling!

Lisa’s work is targeted at big-hearted entrepreneurs who want to get their blessings out into the world. It’s about giving more than is expected. It’s also about formulating your offers and reaching more people.

Sounds good to me.

Remember my Twelve Universal Law mandalas? I know I’m meant to develop some sort of program to help people use these teaching tools to benefit themselves and their loved ones. But right now, they’re in the closet. Literally.

From the strength of the inner call I received to both dive into another study program and to attend the workshop in San Diego, I know I’m being handed another key piece of the puzzle. So I’m answering with trust and curiosity.

So there you have it.  I’m off to San Diego, and when I saw the resort it was at, I tagged on a few extra days to take a much-deserved holiday.

I’ll also be spending time with my parents/family in Ottawa before and after the workshop.

So just to let you know, I can still do intuitive readings and custom guided meditations while I’m in Ottawa, but I only have 1 spot for an energy painting commission in April and the next one will be after my return May 26th.

If you’d like to support this new scholarship fund while adding love & beauty to your life,  you’re also welcome to visit my online shop with your choice of original paintings and prints.

Here’s what I really want to leave you with.

Light up your life. 

Ignite your intuition and clear the Path to live in alignment with your True Self.

When you get your Spirit Calls, listen. Act. Allow.  It’s a courageous and exciting way to live. 

So, once again where or what is calling you?

Underwear and the Passage of Time

/in

The passage of time is different as a full-time artist.

There’s no more Monday to Friday 9 to 5  to mark the weeks.

There are no more bi-weekly paychecks either.

And without kids around, the years all meld together.

I’ve moved around the world a lot, so I wasn’t there to see my nieces and nephew grow up. It’s hard to believe one of them has children!

Sure, there are still the monthly bills.

But my biggest time marker is my underwear.  Every time!

I’m always surprised when my pile runs low. And counting them as I hang them up to dry feels like a total reality check. Didn’t I just do the laundry 2 days ago?

What is this fascination with the passage of time? I have no conclusions – just musings.

If you’re in the here and now, does measuring it against the past or future matter?

I do love birthdays, but haven’t paid attention to the number in decades. I turn “the big 5-0” next November, but that means nothing more to me than when I turned 49, or 30.

I truly get more shocked to find 10 pair of underwear in my wash than about the changing of seasons or decades.

Is that a good or bad thing? Who am I to judge? It just is.

Take last week for example. I spent a very intensive week in the flow working on an energy painting commission. I’m glad my calendar was almost completely clear, so I could get lost in time. I just followed the flow.

As a budding entrepreneur, I still have to pay attention to my calendar – meetings, training, outings, commitments. But I’ve worked hard to simplify my life and my schedule. It feels good.

Maybe one day – when someone does my laundry for me – I’ll live even more in the here and now, without anything to mark the passage of time.

Will that be a good or bad thing? I don’t know.

What do you think?  Would you like to exist in the timelessness?

The Power of a Vision Statement – Coaching in Action

/in
motion photograph of echinacea flowers

“Floralis Dance” from my Blossoming Photography Collection (available in many sizes and mediums)

This is great stuff! I had to share. I’m sure it’ll help you too. Plus it’s quite easy to do.

It only took me about 10 minutes to write up my Vision Statement during a recent life / business coaching session with Brenda Kelleher-Flight of GDP Consulting. She needed a volunteer for her latest certification, and I jumped at the occasion. (You’ll hear more from her later in this post.)

I’m already feeling its effects. My homework is to listen to the recording of this Vision Statment a few times in a row each day to connect to the life I envision for myself.

It’s such a natural step forward from my previous work with affirmations and vision boards. I’ve now got one more tool to build the life I want.

I’m happy to report that I’m steadily aiming in the right direction. And I trust the Universe is working on the elements that aren’t visible yet, but I know are already on their way. All I need to do is keep the faith and continue to affirm it through thoughts, feelings, and inspired actions. My Vision Statement recording will help with that.

Here’s how it works. Write up your vision of your ideal life. Write everything in the present tense. Cover all areas. Be specific or stay general.

Here. Listen / read mine for an example.

 

My Vision Statement

 

I go to bed early in a grateful and positive frame of mind, so that I wake up feeling completely refreshed. I love my morning routine, as I give myself the time and space for sacred rituals: dancing on my mini-trampoline and chanting, yoga, asking and receiving Guidance. These raise my vibration for the rest of the day.

My business day starts between 6-7 a.m. when I do intuitive readings, guided meditations, or energy paintings. Helping people on their path also helps me with my life purpose of exploring and expressing my love of beauty and the beauty of love.

My flow of clients is steady, only attracting those who are a good match for my offerings.

My work is making a significant different in my fans’ and clients’ lives. I feel truly blessed to be doing this work. It’s also financially lucrative so that it creates more freedom for myself and others to live in ways that are aligned with my / their inner guidance. People are happy to be supporting me in my goals as it also helps them with theirs.

My business is organized in a way that allows for an uninterrupted flow of passive income.

I have the freedom to follow my inner guidance to wherever it leads, be it for study, recreational travel, business, and more.

My work day usually ends around 3 pm to focus on quality time with my Self, my life partner, and friends.

My presence is a gift – the result of my open mind and generous heart.

Every day, I nourish myself with healthy foods and take nature walks – alone or with friends.

I am in a mutually respectful and unconditionally loving relationship with the right man for me. We both want the other’s happiness without expecting anything in return.

All those in my life feel connected to me even when I’m not physically present. My love and support are felt with all my friends and family.

I’m happy and healthy in body, mind, and spirit because I choose to live in this way.

The Power of Coaching

Brenda Kelleher-Flight in her officeBrenda and I spent 4.5 wonderful hours together, filled with aha moments and shifts that I felt on the physical, mental, and energetic level.

I can just imagine the benefits of regular life-business coaching!

Here’s how Brenda talks about it.

Message from Brenda

Are you totally satisfied with all areas of your life and work? If yes, this post isn’t for you. If not, then please keep reading and I hope you’ll find the guidance you’re searching for at this time. The guidance I’m speaking about is that of a coach.

Sometimes we feel stuck or as if things could be better, but we don’t know who to talk to, who to trust, or whether things could actually be as we dream. The good news is that a good coach is a confidant. You can tell your coach things you wouldn’t tell others because a coach is trained to understand and be non-judgmental.

A coach will lead you through exercises to help you identify your blind spots. You determine what is holding you back from achieving what you desire and deserve because your coach only has one agenda – that is working in your best interests.

In my training through the Fowler International Academy of Professional Coaching , I’ve learned that it’s essential to set priorities, work on manageable targets, and hold you accountable for taking actions and seeing results. When you report on your accomplishments and initiatives, we get to celebrate together. When things don’t go as well, I’m there as a non-judgement sounding board.

I can assist you to create your vision for your future and see it become a reality. There’s no such thing as failure in my world, there’s only success.

A Change of Scenery

/in , ,

Brigus NL-Dominique Hurley-DLH_3793

It’s only February, and I’m already manifesting my way through my 2016 intuitive vision board. This time, I took its soul advice for a change of scenery and spent 4 days at my friend Victoria’s in Spaniards Bay, a little less than an hour from St. John’s.

I love road trips. I’m constantly gasping at the beauty (sometimes a bit alarming for the driver).

But since I’ve chosen not to have my own car, I don’t get out of town much – especially if I’m focused on work as much as I was in 2015.

So Victoria came to get me, and we spent a lovely 4 days driving around taking pictures, socializing, eating, and getting to know each other and her 4 fur-babies better. It was great!

I first met Victoria in an art class I taught back in 2011. She’s taken almost every one since. She was also instrumental in helping me raise funds for my Vienna Art Scholarship Fund.

I felt right at home in her new house. Plus it was thrilling to see so much of her artwork live. She’s not only thriving with intuitive painting, but creating wonderful figurines and mixed media hooked pieces on slate. Click here to visit her FB Page.

I came home with a closer friendship, lots of new photos, a few extra pounds, work in a new gallery, some cute kitten scratches (the kittens were cute, not the scratches), and all the benefits of recreation.

So there you have it.  By traveling only 50 minutes away, it was a complete change of scenery. What a blessing in so many ways! Thanks Victoria!

You don’t have to go far to play tourist.

An Unconditional Love Guided Meditation

/in ,

Here’s my gift of an Unconditional Love Guided Meditation. May it fill you to overflowing.SCC card spread for unconditional love guided meditation

This is the Spirit Calling Card spread I pulled before starting the recording. It couldn’t have been more appropriate!

After recording the meditation, I took another 48 minutes to actually do it.  These are quite different experiences.

unconditional loveWhen I channel meditations, it’s like watching a movie filled with pauses.  My job is simply to describe what I’m seeing or experiencing and relay instructions.

But when I listen, I connect to different levels of seeing, feeling, healing, and being for my Self. I receive different messages and connect to different Guides each time. Try it. It’s amazing!

Truth be told, it’s as entertaining and a lot more nourishing than some of the Netflix movies I sometimes choose to watch.

So I’m committing to 49 minutes several times a week this Valentine’s month to connect with unconditional love in this way.

Are You Playing Enough?

/in

Playing in my backyard - snowshoeingAre you playing enough? It’s worth it! My body, mind, and spirit are just buzzing from the natural high of doing something I love – something I hadn’t done in years.  Snowshoeing!

As you read this, pay attention to what comes to mind for you. What kinds of play did you love when you were younger and haven’t done in years? Bringing some of those back into your life can do wonders!

We’d had a huge snowfall overnight. It got me so excited. Sure, I had work to do. But I’d promised myself to play more this year.

I didn’t play much last year as I was “too busy” building my website and doing B-School.  I had a lot of studio time, which is always fun, but that’s still work-related.

So when I created my 2016 intuitive vision board, it was filled with soul promptings like “Embrace the Canadian Winter”, “Skate the Loop This Winter”, and “Be a Tourist in Your Own Town” (click here to learn how to make yours).

Vision boards work.  Right before New Years, I went to a movie with my friend Leslie. She had a pile of stuff in her car to drop off at a thrift store, including a pair of snowshoes and poles. So I took those home!

I used to love snowshoeing. I mean really love it!  My old-fashioned wood & sinew pair didn’t make the move to Newfoundland in 2011, when I’d reduced my belongings to just a few boxes.

Now I have new ones – the modern kind. Two days before this snowfall, I’d tried them out in the backyard. There wasn’t much snow, but enough to test the toe grips and poles that had never been a part of my snowshoeing history.

After circling outside the backdoor for a while, I stood at the top of my neighbour’s hill for a good 5 minutes before having the guts to head down. Poles are great! So are toe grips!

I’ve only been down to the river a few times since I moved in 1.5 years ago. I’d originally thought I’d start my days there with water ceremonies and nature contemplation. But I came back from my first trek through the tall weeds with a rash that burned for days.  So I’ve been enjoying the river from the house instead.

With the snow, however, I could make it all the way down the hill and along the river for 11 houses to an intersecting creek.  I felt like an explorer! I stopped and had a lovely chat with a neighbour across the river who came to see what his dog was barking at. Then I marvelled at all the birds and ice-laced rivulets.  I was in total bliss.

I made it back up to my yard and sat there to enjoy my high. I thought the only thing that could make it better was playing with my neighbours’ dogs. So I went to get them and play we did. I rolled around on the ground like a kid and threw sticks for them to fetch. I felt so happy! This was my first winter play session in a couple of years!

So after our huge snowfall, it only took a glance at my vision board to get me out the door again. My work could wait.

I’m so glad I’d explored the territory before though. The light fluffy snow was up to my knees in most places.  But when I’d inadvertently walk over hidden bushes or boulders, I’d slide down or cave in to my waist.  I tell ya – poles are great!  The grips didn’t do much in these conditions though.

At one point, a duck came and landed a few feet from me,  disappearing in the snow. Then her head poked up to look at me. When she realized I hadn’t brought any seed, she waddled her way a bit below eyesight before taking flight again.

This backyard adventure was just as great as the first one!

At one point, I lay down and made a snow angel, closing my eyes and letting the snowflakes melt on my face. I was filled with gratitude – for nature in the backyard, my flexible entrepreneur schedule, the home I share with my housemate, my new snowshoes, my body, and so much more.

I’m so glad my intuitive vision board reminded me of how important it is to play and do things I love. My whole being vibrated with joy.

IMG_9978The next day, I went skating at The Loop in downtown St. John’s for the first time ever before having dinner with my friends Kim and Daryl.  I hadn’t skated in about 5 years! More fun! More gratitude! More health & happiness!

Follow your bliss – that’s the key to the Law of Attraction.

Ireland, I hear you calling…

/in

I got another intuitive hit while I was in Ottawa visiting family this holiday season – this time it has something to do with Ireland.

Ireland

I’ve learned to pay attention and nourish those intuitive seeds. Following inspired action leads to great things.

If you remember, during the 2014/15 holiday season, a seed was planted in my heart/gut that led to the creation of the Enter the Mandala Project. I’m glad I acted on that one! I wonder where this one will lead…

The timing was the same. Maybe it’s because my routine is different, and I manage to slow down in Ottawa.

By the time I landed back in St. John’s, I’d started my research and followed-up on a few leads.

On my way home from the airport, I stopped by the public library to pick up a couple of books I’d reserved online. Celtic knots, spirals, symbolism, and illuminated texts… why are they calling me? They’re like an ancient mix of symbolism, zentangles, sacred geometry, and more. All the math and precision involved in learning to draw these knots on grids doesn’t appeal to me right now, but who knows what it will lead to. I’m just following my flow.

I’ve also spent hours online looking at artist retreats, spiritual tours of Ireland, and artist workshops. I’ve made some initial contacts and have a 3-month dream-itinerary shaping up.

Was it because “Roam Around Ireland” chose to be on my vision board? It’s the second year in a row that Ireland shows up for me in that way.

Or is it my Irish ancestry pulling me across the seas? I’ve been to France and Germany – both flowing inside my veins. But I’ve never been to Ireland … even with a name like Hurley.

Flying there costs the same as flying to Ottawa – thanks to Westjet’s direct seasonal flights from Newfoundland. But spending several months there (or even a week at these retreats/tours I’m looking at) is expensive, especially with the state of the Canadian dollar.

Finding a permanent home for the Enter the Mandala Collection would finance the trip. But I’m not attached to specifics right now. If I’m meant to go, the funds will manifest through art sales or some other means. Who knows!?  I may even be hired to bring my art there.

Our job is to tell the Universe what – it figures out the how. All we need to do is listen and act on our intuitive guidance. Take inspired action.

Right now, I’m in the listening, dreaming, following inspired action, and paying attention to signs mode of manifestation. So I have nothing else but an intuitive nudge to report.

The Law of Action mandala

The Law of Action

But I’m sharing this with you now in case it inspires you to pay more attention to what’s calling you.

What guided actions can you take right now to aim you in that direction, even if you can’t see the whole picture yet?

One inspired step at a time, the doors will open and the resources will be given you. That’s the Law of Action.

Intuitive Guidance For 2016

/in

My 2016 Vision Board

No, I’m not prophesying about the future of the world. I’m showing you another example of how you can find your own intuitive guidance for 2016 by making an intuitive vision board.

First, let’s look at how last year’s board helped me. After that, you’ll see how this brand new one is already showing me how to use the Law of Rhythm to my advantage this year.

There are many kinds of vision boards, but intuitive ones are my favourite. They’re quick and filled with meaning that reveals itself with time. They’re also a great visual tool for decision-making.

To learn how to make your own, click here to get to my “7 Easy Steps To Creating An Intuitive Vision Board“.

My 2015 Vision Board

Here are some examples from last year.

photo of house and word CocoonI was quite the little hermit in 2015 and loved it. Whenever I’d start feeling guilty about it, my board reminded me that it was OK. After a year of hopping around 3 continents, it was time to cocoon. It’s the only way I could have accomplished so much.

Look below at all the circles. These pieces kept encouraging me to move forward in my Enter the Mandala Project. I had to go deeper into both my passion for painting and intuitive visions to create art for contemplation. I needed to constantly connect with Source to understand and paint the 12 Universal Laws.

 

magazine photos And yes, I was driven by design this year – designing my business model through B-School, designing my website, designing my online store to offer my designs to others, and creating the Life by Design blog series of inspirational articles.  I spent the year creating a business and a life that’s a perfect fit for me.

little girl with dogI also reconnected with my love of dogs. I was obsessed as a little girl. This year, I got to spend time with the neighbour’s dogs whenever I felt moved to. I’d take breaks from the studio to throw a ball in the backyard or take them for walks. We all needed that!

My Intuitive Guidance for 2016

So what’s my new board telling me about the year ahead?  Looks like the pendulum is swinging the other way.

No more hermit for me. It’s time to get out and get active.

My board is motivating me to play tourist in my own city, go on road trips, and gather with community. I may even go to Ireland this year. It was on my board last year, so I trust that some seed has been planted and may just sprout in 2016. The train means movement – maybe across Canada with my mandalas?

It’s important not to take everything literally with vision boards. Look at possible meanings when you’re in need of guidance. I’ve never been much for crowds or parties. To me, that quote has more to do with some kind of springtime celebration.

These pieces of the puzzle are already motivating me to lighten up. I went deep and intense with work on my website and mandalas this past year. I need a bit more fun and active living in 2016.

magazine photos about solo activities I’m also being guided to make sure I spend time alone. As an introvert, I need that to energize. I’m definitely calmer, happier, and better if I take time for my Self.

I really like all the words in red boxes I found in travel magazines. I know my heart will continue to open and expand as I see the world through new eyes. I understood this year that the more intuitive reading and energy painting commissions I do, the more I connect to people’s Higher Selves and the more loving I become.

As for the “pick up artists” piece, I hesitated using it. I’m so not a “flirt”! But my heart leapt when I saw it as I tore through magazines in the 25-minute gathering phase, so there it is. It could mean collaboration with other artists or the art of de-cluttering. Who knows?! I’ll tell you in a year.

I’ve been lucky to have explored this through 2 significant relationships in my life. It’s been years though.

He’s been on my board before, so I know he’s out there. We just haven’t found each other on the physical plane yet. I trust in divine timing and am grateful for him no matter where he is.
