I see you!

I have met some incredible women along my path, and worked with some of them, either coaching or through my women's series.....and I have remained in their lives, but only touched down briefly in the grand scheme of their lives and stories, and lately I am watching them all bloom, and step into their own.....and it is so beautiful to watch.......and as I opened my eyes this morning, one of those women was in my mind because of a post I saw....and gosh if she hasn't come a long way......such a long way from the woman I first spoke to....and she is owning it......she had a terrible story befall her......one filled with betrayal and infidelity....and emotional abuse......sick games and financial control......just so much of so much......and she had to work so hard to break free under that truth.....and she has:) She has reclaimed her life......grabbed a hold of it and made her way.....and it has been so beautiful to watch......I love watching her do that......and I love that I have seen the whole progression.....and the truth is I see so many women in my situation.....suddenly left in the lurch......holding the bag......and it saddens me.....we heard a story yesterday of another person somebody knew.....a 41 year old man.....leaving his family for a 26 year old girlfriend......and I suppose the grass appears greener there.....especially if you have problems in your marriage....but what I feel folks are missing is that if you take the time to navigate those issues with your partner.....creating real intimacy.....there is magic to be found.....not throwing it away when it gets harder, in the hopes of finding something better.....it never quite works that way.....I have rarely seen somebody leave their spouse and end up happy.....fool's gold.....your relationship issues are still there since you brought them with you to the new relationship??? Until we heal what is broken and bring our new selves forward, we don't reap the benefits of that......I am so grateful I waited as long as I have to have a relationship.......it was so tempting earlier on.....but the timing was not right, and I needed every bit of time I had taken to heal my broken spaces and figure out what I needed....what I wanted.......not wanting to repeat history.......so my point this morning is to say I SEE ALL OF YOU LADIES, killing it!!! Coming into your own and doing YOUR thing......and it is beautiful to watch........and I am honored to have been a small blip in your beautiful story:) YOU GOT THiS:) I am forever rooting for you!:)
