“As soon as the love relationship does not lead me to me, as soon as I in a love relationship do not lead another person to himself, this love, even if it seems to be the most secure and ecstatic attachment I have ever experienced, is not true love. For real love is dedicated to continual becoming.” Leo Buscaglia

This is a powerful quote and one to live by!!

Currently, I am in the process of ending an engagement with one of the most amazing men I have ever met! I feel like the container of “us”, wasn’t leading either one of us to our true selves! Although magical and wonderful we both needed to evolve deeper on our own!

Just because I am not engaged anymore does not mean that I do not love him. I love him deeply and I also know that I need to become more, as does he!! I have faith in knowing that as we follow our own unique paths we will find the love that we both desire and deserve!

Leo also says, “One does not fall 'in' or 'out' of love. One grows in love.” I totally agree! We often have this idea that once we are in love, we stay in love forever or we fall out of love. No, I don’t think that is true. Love takes work, love brings up all of your shit, and love is a process, and not always sunshine and roses! And, sometimes true love means letting go!

I do know in order to really grow in love with another person you must grow in love with yourself and then also consciously choose to grow more and more in love with the other person! It is a process of growing and becoming together!

My heart is currently opening and expanding and I am learning how to love me and learning how to love him and I know that the future is bright for both of us in our intimate relationships!! I feel blessed and honored for the sacred time we had together!
