Is love ever enough?

I have often heard the expression from Michelle and always my body reacted against it, But I am also starting to believe that love alone is not enough to sustain a relationship. I remember my astrologer once telling me that you need three things in a relationship for it to work long term. You need connection (sex!), common goals in life and communication.

When any one or more of these factors breaks down, then the relationship beings to topple. Love is the glue that holds all the above together, but you can absolutely love someone and still not have the makings of an awesome life together. So if love between two people is the given, then it is these other three that need working on and paying attention to in order to stay in love and in connection in your relationship.

Is commitment more important to you than your souls’ happiness. I have been through so much internal and external stress in the past threee months trying to re-engineer my life. My intention for this year was 100% re-alignment, no matter what that meant. If it meant for me personally that I needed to let go of my relationship, then that might be something to consider. When we start down a particular path of action, we can NEVER be sure of where it will take us. You can’t stand at the beginning of a windy path, no matter how beautiful or scary it looks ahead of you, and be able to know all that you will find along the way. Life is about showing up and dealing with what comes your way as you travel the path.

So My partner and I embarked on a journey that we did not know where it was going to end, and for me it still has not ended it is just in a werid place right now for us… there have been a few hailstorms, surpirse tornadoes, some sun and some rain along the way. The path suddenly seems to have got steep with no end end in sight for us, but we have to keep making decisions at every step of the way which fork in the path to follow.  Trust for me is a huge element…..not trying to control each and every outcome, but letting it unfold no matter how uncomfortable, painful and frightening.

So whilst i mourn the loss of one thing, I fund myself also rejoicing in the fact there is change in my life and there is new afoot……and I have no idea what that means down the line for us, but that old, stuck structures we created around us no longer had enough energy and fluidity to sustain both of us in a delicious way…structures that did not serve us are being torn away at a rate of knots, allowing us both hopefully to get to the top of the mountain in tact and able to admire the scenery whilist being connected to all that lives within and around us.

I wish you the ability to make a choice even when you do not know what choice to make

Blessings
