My Quest for Love: Create the Love You Desire

[This post is the third in a series where I’m sharing my journey with re-inventing my personal life. If you want to start at the beginning, go here. If you missed the 2nd post, go here.]

About the time I started datingChris Marcus, I found thisquote by Susan Bednar:

“Rather than expecting to ‘fall in love,’ pick someone with whom you can create the love that you desire.”

I had a strong feeling that this was a man with whom I could create the love I desired. But my heart still hadn’t fully hea...

Quest for Love: What Are You Expecting?

In my last blog entry, I shared with you about creating my SAM list. This list became, not only a way to Spot A Mercy when it happened, it also became the nickname for the man I felt God promised would come into my life.

In the two years after the divorce, when I’d date a new man, my girlfriends would ask me, “Do you think he’s your SAM?” This made me refer back to my list and evaluate whether the person I was datingtreated me like SAM would.

All of the men I dated had “SAM” qualities. In a w...

My Quest for Love: Where Does Change Begin?

Many people have heard me tell about the drive back from the beach in August of 2011 that changed my life. On that drive I realized my personal life had to change. I wasn’t happy in my marriage, but I caught the vision of what was possible for me in a loving relationship.

I envisioned a fully connected, communicative relationship with a mate who loved life, people andnature as much as I did. I envisioned someone with whom I could co-create an amazing life.

I Am Titanium

Over the last 3 years, I’ve traveled a rocky road: from business demise to financial stress, from a failed marriage to a broken heart. I’ve often felt more like a battle-worn soldier with her legs blown off, trying to elbow her way off the field than a single entrepreneurial mother of six.

I know I’m not the only one. I know a lot of people have been suffering in the last few years … many in a lot worse situations than mine. When life’s relentless daily and monthly demands march incessantly f...

How Dare We?

Our servicemen and law enforcement officers do not take on their duties “for the money.” No amount of money is worth risking your life every single day. Yet they do it. Why? I’ve never quite understood it until I got to know one of these men who served both in the military and is a local police officer.

Why does he risk his life every day? Honestly, I haven’t even asked him this question yet. But I’ve learned a lot by observation. These words come to mind: patriotism, honor, valor, compassion...

Numb

Where are You?
Once so near
Now far away.
Once beloved
Now lost.

Numb inside.
Callous and cold.
Going through motions
Habit
Lifeless and dull.
Will enough motion create life?

Renew the flame.
Spark my hope.
Quicken my understanding.
Enlighten my mind.
Infuse my heart.
Help me trust You again.

Where is the keeper of the flame?
Can He, will He
Fan it anew?
Or will it die
In dark night’s slumber?

Tears of loss.
Broken heart
Cracked wide open.
Dark and bleeding
Damaged beyond repair.

Through the...

Leaving a Legacy

I used to think I wanted to change the world. Now I’m focusing on creating harmony, love and acceptance in my own life. I used to think I wasn’t a success unless I impacted thousands for good at once. Now I’m understanding that loving and accepting the one, has a rippling impact on thousands.
