I talk a lot about relationships. I am all about them. With yourself, your kids, parents, friends, your boss, and your special someone. I thought I would tell you what a relationship with a partner means to me. So here goes.
When I was in my twenties, I had no clue what made a relationship work. I met my now ex-husband at 20, I was married at 23 and away I went. Yep, I’ll figure it out.
I never really figured it out. Picture the opposite of figuring it out. That was me.
It took until after my divorce 25 years later to learn what it’s all about for me.
I want a relationship, but it’s more than that. I want a partnership, to be part of a team. A best friend I can sleep with, make love to, travel with, adventure with, live with. A partner in crime, a partner for life. I want someone that I can laugh with, cry with, make memories with. A person that can challenge me, but also show me grace. Somebody I can trust with my dreams, my fears, my money, my heart, and my life.
Most importantly, someone that I feel lucky to love.
That’s what I want.
That special human.
For me to get there, I first had to heal. I had to learn some things, unlearn A LOT of things, try at love, make mistakes, learn some more, and yes, try again. It was painful, there were moments when I wanted to throw in the towel, but I wasn’t giving up. This was important to me. It still is.
After a long, hard road, I have found that person. To me, he’s a unicorn. I have to pinch myself to make sure this is real. I feel incredibly lucky to love this man. This special human. But to fully be in this relationship, the person I always knew I could be, the healing and hard lessons were critical. We work so well together because of the growth we’ve both done on our own. He doesn’t fill an empty hole for me, nor do I for him. We were both complete, happy people when we met. THAT is the key.
I am on a mission to help people build healthy relationships and/or strengthen the ones they are currently in. Teaching these skills fires up my soul.
I have done it the wrong way. Made a LOT of mistakes, learned some HARD lessons.
I sought out help, I learned the skills, put them into practice, and worked hard to create a relationship that is a true gift.
