Hey! I'm finally back on Canadian soil and so glad to be home. I missed my last post with my busy corporate career and a current work project that has kept me out of the country for 8 of the last 12 weeks. I have to tell you, if you have to work out of the country, the Philippines is a fantastic place to be. It was my first time there and I have to tell you that I LOVED Manila. The people there are the kindest people I have ever met. We managed to spend some weekend time on some of the smaller islands and enjoy their beauty. I would definitely go back again just to vacation. Now that I'm back, I can start to concentrate more on my stories and future releases. I can't wait to get them to you.
I'm happy to report that romance has found its way back into my life after a brief
time of… let’s call it ‘settling in’. I was scared for a little while that it
was lost, but it was still there. I just needed to stop my girl brain from over
thinking. In talking with friends and family members, I’ve learned that I’m not
the only one who was feeling a little ‘lost’. With that ‘special day’ quickly
approaching… you know the one. The one that every man would like to avoid and
every woman dreams about. Nobody wants to be alone on Valentine’s Day. A friend
messaged me the other day confessing that she can’t get her ex-boyfriend out of
her head. They had a very tough relationship year. She was miserable after
he moved out, at her request. Recently, he dropped in at the house a few times and
offered to help her out with some chores. She admitted that it was tough to see
him leave again and that she was extremely lonely. She's having a hard time moving on.
She said she needed some girl talk and asked me for my
opinion. I’m not sure I’m the best to give advice on relationships. I’m the
girl who proposed to my man and sent our relationship into a downward tailspin
from which I wasn’t sure we’d recover. But this I know… Love is complicated and
worth fighting for until the bitter end. No matter how hard you try, you can’t change people. You can’t fix them or make them do things your way. Your partner in life
must be able to fulfill your most important needs in life, whatever that may
be; financial security; intellectual stimulation; stability; emotional &
intimate support. Everything else is a compromise. You shouldn’t feel angry or
anxious all the time when you’re together, nor should you feel like you don’t want
to go home to that person at the end of every day. If you volunteer for overtime every night
so you don’t have to deal with them, there’s a problem.
I know that he loves her; I could see it in the way he
looked at her. Sadly, sometimes love is not enough. There has to be an equal
effort to meet in the middle on the important things and a willingness to
let go of the things that aren’t. If your partner can’t meet you in the middle
of the road, then maybe you need to take a different road all together. Do you walk
away because the going gets tough? Absolutely not. But only she knows for sure
if she any fight left in her. I want her to be happy, but if he’s not the right
one, then I don’t want her to settle for comfort and convenience.
Every woman deserves to find a partner who lifts her up, and
makes her feel excited. Second, third or fourth chances shouldn’t be needed.
Sometimes relationships are easy. Sometimes they are a lot of hard work. They
are ALWAYS complicated and confusing. I was so afraid that I was going to fall
for the same kind of guy as my ex that I rejected all men for over 18 years. I
know what she means when she says she’s lonely for companionship and intimacy.
I do know that eventually the ‘right’ guy will come along. I’m not the most
patient girl, but I’m really glad that I waited. The love of my life finally found
me and although there are some twists and turns on our happily ever after
journey, we are equal partners in life. Best friends. Lovers.
I guess to make a long story short my advice, to her and any of you who who need to hear it... Don’t settle. You
deserve to be loved.
