Love has no agenda …

From a client:

I had a date with a guy last night. It was our third date. He’s very nice, funny, intelligent and considerate. In short, I like him, and I enjoy his company. I’m attracted to him, but not overly, if you know what I mean.

At the end of the first date, he kissed me on the cheek and thanked me for the date. I thought that was so nice.

After the second date, he kissed me and then started kissing me again (hoping for a make-out session, I think), and I kind of kissed him and said thanks for a nice time. I got a call from him the next day apologizing for “trying too hard” and saying that he just likes me. I told him there was no need to apologize, that I’m not anti-kissing, but I just think if we jump into certain situations too quickly, things will change. He was fine with that.

Last night we had a third date, and there was some hugging and kissing afterward. He e-mailed me later, and we had a “conversation” about being physical. I’m not real sure that he understands, because then he told me that I shouldn’t be afraid to take a chance.… More

To find “the one” is to become “the one.” And part of that is learning from relationships with those who are not “the one.” We can run from the learning; but it won’t lead to “the one.” … More

God’s got us, whether we follow His lead or fight Him every step of the way. He’s not afraid to let us hit bottom, because he knows how the story unfolds. We’re the hero! And, ultimately, we choose love, we find the light. The rest is designed to reveal the hero!

Our resistance may paint the path rocky or rosy; but the light never flickers. We’re going home to love.… More

Don’t just love yourself. Love yourself with the love of your dreams, the way you long for a sweetheart to love you. Love yourself to the core, with unbridled passion. Then, you can love a partner that way. And then, you can let him/her close enough to love you that way! … More

Jan: Maybe we have a lot of pictures of you holding me??

Sam: You’re the little girl. You can help men understand that—that women are baby girls.

Jan: Women might have a tougher time with that than men do.

Sam: I know.

Jan: My baby boy!

Male or female, we are our most lovable when we are vulnerable. Don’t shy away from it, don’t be afraid to revel in it. It won’t weaken you; it will strengthen you. We don’t have to choose between baby vulnerable and adult independent, we get to be both.… More

We can be aware of our ego, without being distracted by it. We don’t have to offer the attention it craves. We don’t have to give it a voice or appendages.

The ego sees lack and gets scared and greedy. Love knows there’s enough for everybody. Love knows everybody can win.

And when we simply yield to love, instead of ego, we allow love to serve everybody’s highest good. Love can do that in any situation. That’s the magic. … More
