Fall Madly in Love

My niece's grandmother passed away last week. She was 80. I don't know whether at the end of her life she was pleased with how she'd lived or not. We are in our senior years who we've become as the result of our actions now. I'm thinking about these things because I was talking to a dear friend of mine earlier today and she said, sobbing, that she doesn't want to grow old alone like her mother and auntie did. That's one of her primal fears. All of this because she was advised by someone in a 12-Step Program that she attends not to be in an intimate relationship with a man for at least a year.

I used to think I had to have a man to be happy. Then, one day, I woke up and found ME. And my purpose. I'm now so wrapped up in living my purpose and salivating over the possibilities for my life that I simply don't have time to feel lonely. Actually, I'm just having so much fun having breakthroughs that I wonder how I ever thought being with me was so horrifying. Did you know that most people don't like the company they keep...with themselves? That's why addiction is so pervasive. And yet we're relentless about securing a relationship with another person. Imagine that, we don't like our own company but we expect that someone else will.

We've got to fall madly in love with the woman in the mirror. Fall in love with the life we're creating and living. Fall in love with your purpose and possibilities. Whooda thought me, a self-confessed love addict, could be so content that she could spend her entire Saturday doing laundry, cleaning, writing, reading, recording videos on my new web cam, shopping for a gift for a friend's new baby boy and not have one moment of loneliness. Not ONE moment. In fact, I was so pleased that no one phoned me. It was me, myself, God and my excitement about life!

If you want your senior years to be golden you've got to work on that now, today. If you resist your own company, that's precisely who you need to spend more time with, YOU! When we love ourselves madly, we will magnetize love and abundance in every area of our life.

I love you! DeBora
