Last night, I attended a group healing by Maria. It was nice to introduce friends to my energy person.
We went through an exercise to ground ourselves, and I decided that it will be yet another tool for my spiritual growth.
Just as the meditation has helped me, the grounding reminded me that I don't have to be everyone's savior.
Ironically, my biggest challenge in life is how to focus inward rather than always trying to be everyone's best friend.

coupled but still independent
One benefit of meditation is observing my own emotions with neutrality.
Rather than being caught up by my ups and downs, I can be calm about it.
Given our different interests, C and I have to juggle two different schedules. Sometimes it's frustrating to not be able to be together, but I don't let the frustration get to me.
I welcome the opportunity to be apart and relish being able to be on my own although I am officially in a relationship.
Tonight and tomorrow nights are women's nights. Taking a large group to see my energy lady in a free public session. Tomorrow is the real estate women's dinner at my place. Good thing I still have my girlfriends to fall back on.
Taking the emotional ups and downs out of life makes it more relaxing. Now I can focus on work and the upcoming trips!

letting go
One theme that repeats itself in my life is learning from my past, and the best lessons are the unconscious ones, especially the unintended life experiences.
I never intended to fall in love and marry a dream man, but I did. I am so lucky that the magic of that relationship stays a good memory despite the mutual decision to part ways and divorce.
I never expected to find love again, least of all one so perfect that it humbles me. Nothing about dating C is by the rules, but the fact he also acknowledges our unique path reassures me time and time again.
What do all these life events taught me above all else? That there is a bigger force than me. I must respect fate and allow life to show me what is my destiny. By accepting my ignorance and giving up control, I find peace and fulfillment.
I still struggle to not judge others and myself, and the answer is to be more child-like. Having children may not be my calling right now, but I'm constantly surrounded by children and child-like souls reminding me of pure joy.
I'm truly grateful for life.
