The Road to Conscious Love
It wasn't what I wanted, but it was what was best to salvage whatever we had left in our connection. We were trying to build on quicksand every time we came into each other's lives, and he asked to go back to being family friends because we just couldn't give each other what we needed or wanted at the time. He wanted surface leveled-no strings attachment, and I couldn't give him that. I needed a soul-depth kind of love, and he wouldn't give me that. So we had to go our own ways, again.

The Road to Conscious Love
After meeting with my new therapist for the first time since my other had her baby, I was surprised at myself for how I was able to cliffnote my life story in one hour. I feel so grateful that I’m learning how to open myself up and see growth in my healing journey, and it feels really good to feel this secure in myself. This journey has opened my eyes, heart and soul in ways that I never knew I had within. They say that the longest journey in love is from your head to your heart, and this 13-year road to Conscious Love has never been more true of a statement.
