I originally wrote this for the sweet and amazing Nicole at My Teacups in Peony, as part of her Love Story series…we thought it might be a neat little twist. Instead, I am posting it on my blog because as much as it is a Love Story, I truly adore how hers are stories of couples, and she was gracious and kind enough (of course) to understand and support me posting it here…for you. Especially because ya’ll have been with me on this journey of mine. You should definitely check out Nicole’s blog if you don’t read it already, it’s lovely!
So It’s a Love Story…of sorts.
I haven’t been single since the 4th grade. Brandon Payne brought me flowers on the playground (lil pimp) and I was smitten with him all the way to middle school where I promptly broke his lil heart and have since dated and loved some of the most wonderful men with whom I shared amazing years, take your breath away special moments, and built memories, some I thought would last forever.
They didn’t.
I am single, at this moment, tonight, by choice. I ended my last relationship in April, and the past 6 months have taken me on a journey that at first had me kicking and screaming, crying and fighting. I didn’t want to be single, you see. I wasn’t supposed to be. I experienced a particularly rough weekend, a few months ago, filled with horrible dates, wasted makeup, multiple teary calls to my best friend after which I told myself NO MORE DATING. Me? I am the worlds BEST girlfriend, I thought. I have so much love to give! What am I going to do with all of it? Why is God, the universe just letting it go to waste? Where’s Ashton because I am totes being punked!
It was one of those moments…lightbulb, kick in the ass, whatever. Maybe I was wasting it on those who were undeserving. What if instead, I channeled all that love into…myself??
I stuck to it. My love story is one of turning inward…and learning to love myself, on my own. I used to depend on my significant other for so much, and I’m talking about way more than late night runs to CVS to bring me ice cream. My self worth, my identity, was always wrapped up completely in whomever I was dating. I lost friends. I hate to say that I was at times, that girl. I’m still a work in progress, but I have never felt as complete as I do now…single. Of course I get lonely, and miss having a chest to rest my head on at night. It’s in those moments, where I look at my grandma’s rosary hanging from the lamp on my bedside table, barely lit up by a street light and remember…now doesn’t mean it’s going to be forever. Have you ever felt your heart getting stronger or seen your identity emerge with a force you’ve never known? I am so different…and I love it. I have had so much time alone to think…to work on myself and figure out what exactly I need from my next, and hopefully last, partner.
With that said, I can’t wait to meet HIM. Now, when I meet someone I am willing to invest in, I don’t forget who I am, what I have learned in the past 6 months, the things you have helped me see. My self worth, my identity will never be dependent on a man. The next man in my life will encourage my friendships, because these ladies aren’t going anywhere, ever. I will never stop loving myself, because as I’ve told so many friends before and finally decided to take my own advice…How can anyone truly love you when you don’t completely love yourself?
They can’t.
So Mr. Wonderful, whomever you maybe…I certainly hope you are working on yourself as much as I am, I can’t wait to meet you, one day. Some day. No rush. My favorite ice cream is cookies and cream, just in case you are, by any chance, swinging by CVS. Until then, I’ll get it on my own. 
See you soon…
See you soon…
XOXO,
Liz
Thank you, Nicole, for inspiring me to write and share this.

You are thr TOTAL freakin bomb for writing this! It's great. And amazing that you put it all out there.
And you're totally bang on. Once you begin to love yourself, you'll be able to immerse yourself in someone else without losing your sense of self.
And don't fret girly, you're awesome and you will find someone. I know it.
One thing i noticed women do before dating or finding "the one" is loving the idea of what they think true love is. you totally have the right idea! i think it's all about independence first, lady! good to know there are still smart women out there not thinking with their just their crazy emotions.
This is beautiful. I completely agree that you need to know and love yourself before you can be in a truly great relationship without losing your identity.
P.s. That last photo is one of my absolute faves!
you know that i think this is beautifully written. i couldnt agree with you more…spend that time focusing on yourself and not wasting any more brain cells on the douches. i couldn't be happier you are channeling the good energy on yourself. You've always been a bad ass bitch and this just solidifies it even more!
Fabulous! You are a strong woman who has A LOT to give another and one day, whether it be tomorrow or a year from now…this MAN will appreciate you for who you are. {With cookies n' cream in hand to share} It takes more courage and strength to say you want to work on yourself first rather than running to the first testosterone hamster in sight. Kuddos my dear!!! Like i've said before…don't rush it…it will be there when it's suppose to be. Things that are forced sometimes go against nature. Shiiiiiit…prance those boots around a little more!!! Stir up the pot and make these men chase you.
Wow, so crazy when you come across things you need to hear at the exact right moment. I just wrote some long post about my last break up. And how I'm so tired of not meeting the right person. And this was just wonderful to read. Plus my favorite ice cream is cookies and cream too. Thanks so much for this.
Hey dear, what are you talking about? I still love you the same. It's not just you, but I've been really slow on checking out everybody's blog lately. Don't worry, I'd be more active in that department starting today. I promise!
oh thats such a lovely post, made me a bit teary! xx
Sherlock your amazing, I love what you have written. Your one totally awesome chick and one guy is going to be SO lucky to get you.
love and hugs Watson ;o
my story is a bit different. i wouldn't say i've chosen to be single. but some of your words touch me very deeply.
we're all diffrent.but somehow emotions are the same.
right!!! now, let's go to the ladies for a bit of make up touch up…yes, i get teary VERy easily!
thank you very much for that post Liz.xxx
ooooooohhhhhh laday!!! where to even START this comment…i almost don't even like to comment anymore because it is like…not pointless but i know your heart inside and out and these are things we talk about on the reg and you know KNOW what i would have to say…that's just how our country cord works…i don't have to say something inspiring or witty or affirmational…cause you just know…
but i will tell you how much i love you and think you are truly one incredible gal…and no boyfriends.none…that'll come LATER…after transitioning pods…cause we're too cute for this one…
lovelove you!!!
this was the sweetest post. its all so true too!
I love this, and totally agree. And we're so lucky to have you!
loved this loved this loved this! So much to comment on because I adore every inch of this post and every inch of YOU! You are amazing.
i'm sitting here all sleepy eyed in my pjs still with goosebumps on my arms and legs, even a few tears in my eyes! liz this was beautiful, i absolutely love it. i'm so happy that you have fallen in love so much in the last six months and had amazing people there for you, some/most people never get to do that and never truely love themselves as much as they need to in order to have a healthy relationship. i think all of us could do more of that and it's really inspiring to read your words. i'm sure he's out there…and mister if you're reading this.. you have an awesome lady waiting for you
have a great day love, and if you're swinging by cvs pick me up a big bucket of mint chocolate chip 
oh liz this makes me so so so happy. i met up with a friend last week who i hadn't seen in a little while and he said, "what's different, you look great, like you've fallen in love?" and yes, i totally have a crush on a guy in my life, but it's more than that, and i'm realizing that for the first time in maybe ever (or at least 5 years), i am falling in love–with myself. i love that quote that say, "you, yourself more than anyone else in the world deserve your love and affection"–of course we do! you are amazing, i'm so glad to have met you through the blog grapevine!
THANK YOU FOR SUCH A WONDERFUL POST!
Seriously…
that was…I can't begin to explain, really..
I was touched. And I felt like I am not the only one trying to get to know myself and love her. xx
i think i just fell in love…even more with you darlin.
xoxo
O my god!! WOW!!! —"How can anyone truly love you when you don't completely love yourself?"
Loved this line!! totally!! its true with me too!! but my problem is I have this awesome guy, but i haven't been able to love him back coz somewhere i don't love myself![i think]
I am sooo a follower now!
I wish I could do what you did too.
i loved this!! it's so so true and something that so many people miss out on! thanks for sharing this.
Great post Liz. You just keep on getting your own ice cream and soup because pretty soon some yummy man is going to be begging to do it for you. I love you for being honest ad saying what you feel it's always so refreshing. Hate you if I didn't love, love , love you!!
Liz this is just beautiful and I'm so happy that you're taking the time to grow to love yourself more. It really will benefit your relationships in the future. When you find HIM, you'll be totally secure and happy with yourself, and it will just make him love you more – if that's even possible. You deserve it lady!
Love this and it is absolutely true.
Thank you for taking the time to write this post. You are absolutely beautiful, and I cannot tell you how much I appreciate your honesty. And one day, when Mr. Right does come around, I hope he realizes what a freaking fantastic woman he as on his hands!
This was a beautiful post! Thank you for sharing beautiful lady! You are awesome.
Oh, and I gave you an award! One you've gotten a hundred times, I'm sure. But awards are kind of like shoes, you can never really have too many, right? Check out my blog!
This is a wonderful post, very beautifully written. I really believe that every girl needs to be single for a time period in her life before settling down so that she can really find herself and know who she is and what SHE wants. As hard as it may be at times this period in your life really is a blessing and is just preparing you for the person you are meant to be with.
I was single on and off all thru my 20's and as frustrating as it was at times I learned so much about MYSELF and what I wanted and I really believe if I had met Kristian even a couple years ago it may not have worked b/c we both weren't in the right place in our lives.
Enjoy this time of freedom because you have the rest of your life to be with your special person. XOXO
I love this! Thank you for writing something so real and relate-able. I'm right there with ya, girl. xoxo
liz – this brought a tear to my eye.
so empowering, so beautifully written…
"My favorite ice cream is cookies and cream, just in case you are, by any chance, swinging by CVS
Until then, I'll get it on my own.
"
you have such an amazing spirit…
Amen to that sista!! So true!
This seriously gave me chill bumps, woman! I love how you express yourself. Many people never learn and grow the way you have been. Thanks for sharing such a beautiful part of yourself. And keep enjoying your time until HE comes along, my love! XOXO
FUCKIN BRILLIANT.
babe, i can't even begin to tell you how much i love this…YOU are amazing and i'm so happy that you're using this time to find YOU, adore YOU, appreciate YOU and not rely on the "US". yes it's the greatest feeling to be in love but it's an even better feeling to LOVE YOURSELF FIRST always, completely and fully…
the next man in your life MUST encourage your friendships because lady i'm not going anywhere…
I LOVE YOU BEYOND THE WORDS I'VE JUST TYPED…xoxo.
That as so great to read and seriously perfect timing for me- my bf of 1 1/2 years ad I are on the verge of either "taking a break" or really breaking up. I am torn on what to do and totally upset over it. I may need to bookmark and reread before I see him again tomorrow… (lol but really) so thank you!
LOVED this!!! i went thru something similar – in 2005, i took some time out to get to know myself, consciously…. once i got to a point where i was pretty much convinced i didn't need a guy to make me happy, future-hubby came along!!!
Girl, this is Deeee-Lish! Haute enough to holler for.
This maybe a little personal, but what are blogs for.
My mother told me after I divorced my 1st husband, being I was only 16, that I shouldn't jump into another relationship, because this one guy really wanted to, that I should fall in love with myself. And that I wouldn't ever love anyone if I didn't love myself first. I fell completely head over heals and 2 1/2 years later I met the perfect man, and literally I loved myself, so I could love him.
You are doing the right thing. As gorgeous as you are, I am sure men are throwing themselves at you. But hey, there's more to life than sex, if you know what I mean. I know that the wait is hell, but you will love the outcome and I am sure there is a WONDERFUL man out there waiting on you and you will be a wonderful wife… and even mother
This is such a good post. When I broke up with my last boyfriend I didn't want to be single, I didn't want to learn to be alone, I wanted to be with someone, I wanted to be loved. Now, I realize, I can give myself nearly everything I want from someone else, and then the rest will happen.
You managed to put into words what so many women feel about being single and learning to love themselves.
I am so proud of you! Ha I know that sounds so motherly, but so many gals forget to search their inner most being and discover the love they have to have for themselves, and they go ho! Your man is def getting ready for you and will be the perfect one! You will = P.E.R.F.E.C.T! Cheers to that!
I love this post! You are doing the smartest thing a women could do.
I watched my mom go from loser to loser pretty much my whole life. It was actually a great thing for me to watch because it made me the exact opposite. At 48 she has finally realized what you did.
I'm so proud of you
I now love you. I truly do. I too am single, and while I want to meet Mr. Perfect, and have the little fairytale, I think that you have to find out who you are first. To know your own likes and dislikes before you can help someone to learn theirs. This is such a profound post. I simply adore it.
Oh, about the clip-on bangs…I would be worried that I would unconsciously run my fingers through my hair and pop – off the'd come in my hand. Though they do look quite adorable in the advertisements. Perhaps a more affordable clip-on bang will emerge in stores soon?
This is such a moving post and proves how strong we women can be. Those men, or boys, we refer to as exes, help us appreciate what we have RIGHT now. And the fact that you take the time to love yourself, and do not need a man to feel complete is the best thing ever. I think there are ladies out there that need to take some of your words. We should never stay with Mr Right for Right Now because there is nothing better. We deserve so much better. He'll find you Liz, Mr. Right…but for now, enjoy your cookies and cream and I'll enjoy my pumkins ice cream…because nothing can real beat a good DVR, some icey cream, and bloggy friends:)
xoxoxo
I absolutely love this post, and I really admire your attitude. The first love story really needs to be with ourselves instead of trying to find happiness with someone else. Forcing a relationship can only end badly. I know it's a total cliche, but I really do believe these things happen when you're least looking for them! Loving being you is the most important part, by far.
Your attitude is awesome. My single best friend is very negative and I think sabotaging herself. Keep your head up!
PS check out the blog design! I'm so sparkly excited about it http://www.martinisordiapergenies.com
That is going to be one lucky dude. And taking time to make yourself into the best you that you can be, although I think your already pretty darn perfect but that's beside the point, is going to make you an even better Mrs.!
Awww, this is BEAUTIFUL!!
He's gonna be a lucky guy, Liz
xoxo
I'm completely smitten by this entry. So very true. You must love yourself completely so you're better able to make the right decisions for yourself!
Babe. You need to write a book. You're not just good. You're great. Seriously, the whole world must know Liz.
loved it! very powerful post and it totally is a love story. for reals
Oh hello name twin! This is such a good post. And I can totally relate. I too, am always in a relationship because I too, love being a girlfriend. Then one day I ended a 3 year relationship and focused on dating MYSELF. Ha. And I stayed that way for awhile, perfectly content. Then one fine day I met my current adorable boyfriend and to be honest, I don't think I'd be as happy in this relationship if I hadn't gone through that phase of learning to love myself first. xo
Beautiful post. I kind of did the opposite, never really dated in high school and then the first day of college, boom, met Kris and havent looked back since. But I often find the need and desire to be alone some days so I can just listen to myself and figure out what truly makes me happy. Again, love this post!
LOVE IT! This is probably the best love story out there cause this is the love that truly matters. Congrats to you, I myself did it about 4 years ago (although I did date it just was never more than a date or two) and then M showed up and he would just not go away… now we are getting married. A girl must alawys love herself before she can truly love another.
i love this post. LOOOVE. liz, you should be so proud of yourself for even being strong enough to channel the love you have to yourself. you're such a beautiful person inside and out and an inspiration to all. love you, doll…you will find a great guy who worships the ground you walk on because you deserve it! xoxo
i love this! How exciting and wonderful for you!
Ok girl, you got me teary eyed yet again. luv yah girl! Now I know why I flock into your blog – birds of the same feathers flock together HA! Do you remember Natasha Bedingfield's song – Soulmate??? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BEzbkGj7EaQ
One day girl, one day soon…
i love love love this post. i would do anything if single girls would read this. like carrie bradshaw said herself..the most important relationship you have is with yourself and if you find someone that loves that, well that's just fabulous. (or something like that…? it is posted on my fb page..lol) i am so proud of you for turing yourself into this..for learning and teaching yourself these things. some people never do. some married people never do. i love you dearly!!!
ps do you have fb? email me with your info if you do! 
kristen.b.weldon@gmail.com
love this, and love you!
whoever this man may be, he will be so lucky to have you in his life…even more so because you have gone through this transformation with yourself:)
Holy amazingness… I'm not even kidding when I say this is the most incredible thing I have ever read. Ever. Ever. And my two cents… any man who doesn't stop immediately and scoop you up and never ever let you go is simply a fool. You are so funny, and clever and thoughtful and beautiful and well, the list could go on… but confidence is second to none, and that makes you even more incredible. Wow… I can't wait to hear all about *him* when you find him.
I LOVE THIS! WOW!
XoXo
amen and amen.
you're amazing, lady.
i'm glad you're loving someone who's worth all your love. ♥
Hear, hear! It's funny, I went through a similar journey last year where I was searching and searching for my next relationship and encountering nothing but heartache. Then I swore off love for this year and encountered more heartache. Ironically, just when I was beginning to really revel in my single girl status this past summer and dive headfirst into living life, I met a really sweet guy. We've both been single for a long time before beginning to date each other and neither of us is willing to relinquish that sense of independence, so it'll be interesting to see how this relationship plays out.
*standing ovation, wild clapping and cheering* GO LIZ!!!! This is the best freaking post I have ever read! My keyboard might even have caught a tear because I felt like I was reading about myself a bit.
You are such an amazing woman and role model, and I love that I stumbled upon your blog. I devour every post, especially this one. So wonderful.
And I couldn't be happier that you're in such a good place now, so comfortable in yourself, knowing yourself and what you want. That is a happy place to be.
You are so right that your MR. RIGHT is out there… somewhere… working on himself and waiting to find you. Stay patient, have fun, keep learning, and know that when the time is perfect, it will happen.
~ Jen
You never know …. maybe you future hubby secretly fell in love with you because of your blog and what he learned about you on here. How AMAZING would that be …. come out, come out, wherever you are
Beautiful! Just like you! Love this post!
xoxo
Hallelujah and Amen, sister!
So true!! You have to love yourself and good things will come to you! Great things happen when you are happy with yourself and your life first!!
Love you!! XOXO
Good for you siterrr…
The next guy should love Nutella as well…MUST!
xo*
Exceptional post, and good for you! You must love yourself before you can truly love another! And remember, the best things come to those who wait(especially when you are not looking for anything!).
Beautiful post! I'm going through the same thing right now…just trying to figure out me. I was crazy about my last boyfriend and thought I could never be single again. I left the relationship kicking and screaming…but I very much value my independence now. I'm a much tougher cookie than I used to be from this whole process of discovering myself and who I am. I could never abandon my friends or my career or goals this time around. I have to have my own life, because if I'm not happy with myself, there is no way I can make someone else happy no matter how much I love him. It's very refreshing to hear someone write what I've been feeling. When you meet your someone, he's going to be one lucky guy
Ugh, I really want some cookies and creams ice cream now!!!!!!! 
Awesome post… and excellent ice cream choice.
Hahaha…sh*t, you two totally crack me up!
I love love this posting!
Muahhhz

http://heightsoffashion.typepad.com/
you truly have to love yourself first. well written post.
Great post and it also gives me hope! I broke up with my guy in May and i'm still trying to find out who I am. So difficult! Doesn't help that there are so many douchebags in LA!
Wonderful post dear Liz, very much relate and very much admire. In order to be happy we have to first become the amazing people we want to meet… *besos*
i RIGHT there with you love. right there.
we gotta hope but not be desperate.
hey, this is so cool. and i hope the right one (and the final one!) shows up soon. that would be rad, no?
Liz, you beautiful girl… I had tears in my eyes as I read through this post. Beautifully written and so honest! As you know ADE and I are taking a break and your words hit home in my heart. I need to take this time, whether he and I get back together or not, to remember how to love my SELF. thankyouthankyouthankyou! MWAH!
wow…I think you're so right on with everything you said. the unfortunate thing is that not everybody will realize this and the people that do kinda have to go through a lot until they do. you're absolutely right about the whole "you time".
i am so loving your mentality .
This is beautiful, and so wonderfully written. I feel lucky to have read it! <3
That was really beautiful. I forget who said this but the most important relationship that you'll have is the one with yourself.
Mmm cookies and cream is my favourite flavour too – are we ice cream soul mates perhaps? Anyhoo, I don't comment enough, but I am a regular reader and it's been amazing to follow you on this journey of self-discovery! Things can only go up from here!
Btw I'm giving away a pair of LNA zipper leggings thanks to Chickdowntown – check out my blog to enter! http://highmaintenancewoman.blogspot.com/2009/09/get-fresh-for-fall-with-chickdowntown.html
Great post! I was single a long ass time before finding my current BF and it was worth the wait; worth the time developing me so I could better find HIM.
P.S. I am loving my Mac so far! Thanks for the comment today.

Just followed you too…I think I'll be seeing you around, my dear!
XOXO,
Erin
Being single is such a good thing! You learn so much about yourself and re-kindle such wonderful relationships with your friends and family. I met my husband when I was happily single! I fully recommend it!
Good job with the post. I know what you mean about working on yourself. I only wish some of the douches that I dated felt the same way about working on themselves. Ahh..horror stories. Obviously, you've had some of the same type of experiences.
I want to be someone that someone would be proud to marry, so, like you, I want to better myself. I hope my future spouse is doing that as well because I have high expectations for him as well.
Better things are to come. yay! Keep praying.
WOW!!! This gives me so much to think about. You're such a powerful, strong woman, I feel completely inspired. I'm gonna go now, before I dump my honey bagel, just cause I want to be like you for a sec here. LOL, I'm kidding. But seriously, I think this is something every woman/girl should do. Know yourself, who you are, what you want. And then share that with someone. It's easier than figuring it out along the way.
BEAUTIFUL.
you are amazing…and not least of all for putting it ALL out there in such an honest and fresh and raw way. I have to say that as a very happily married woman, it's still the relationship that you have with yourself that is most important. Or maybe not MOST but it comes just ahead of the one you have with your spouse. I don't think that it's possible to have healthy relationships, friendships or anything unless you are a person who is happy and comfortable with yourself. Feeling good on the inside reflects itself on everything that you do in life…love, marriage, career, friends, parenting, everything. Of course not every day is fabulous…this is life after all…but at the end of the day, how we feel about ourselves is a compass for for how we live and how we are with those people around us.
I heart you, lady. xoxo
This was amazing to read sweetie and I am so proud of you for taking the time to nourish the lovely person that you are. I came to this realization when I was in an unhealthy relationship and I too ran far away and started focusing on me. The relationship with YOU will be the best one and you can only become a stronger and lovelier person because of it! You will find the man and when he embraces you he won't know what he was missing! In the mean time, keep showing us your stuff! XOXO!
That was beautiful Liz. I'm still working on the loving myself thing, I think its so great that you're working on your relationship with yourself. You're awesome.
my dear this is awesome – its beautiful to embrace such a great point in your life!
amazing ! i totally relate, im single again after 8 years and its taken me awhile to figure out what to do with just me. But you're right, you have to love you before anyone else can, stay strong girl! we can do it!
at least this way we dont have to worry about our sig. others judging our shopping habits!
i'm taking the time to 'find' myself right now as well, so i can really identify with this!
i freakin love this post! you're awesome Liz
*hugs*
I love this post. It's amazing. And I'm so glad you have been working on you, I have been too. =]
And eff anyone who gets in our way. =]
Liz, I'm so glad you took that time on your own, to discover who you are and not just you as half of a couple. You are amazing and I know the Lord is just waiting to send you the right one, the perfect one for you who'll love you for who you are, every bit of you.
Secret for ya…S and I took a year off after 6 years…we needed time to grow on our own, to be individuals, to be just us not S&E, so I know exactly how you feel. It was only a year but it did wonders for us, it made us better as individuals and as a couple. Now here we are, married for almost 8 years. I've known him for 15 years now…and as much as a part of me wishes we didn't have that year apart – it was perhaps one of the best things we could ever have done.
Oh and S LOVES cookies n' cream – his fave – ever…cookie dough comes in a close second
p.s. now we'll just have to get you some hot leather pants
finally getting around to comment on this, i read it tues and my phone wouldn't let me comment
i think it is so awesome that you are such a strong independant lady. you are just you and you have realized that you don't NEED anyone else to be happy. i love that! i love this post! kinda luv you too
i have always been a dependant person. i think as i "grow up" i am more and more independant, i also went through a rough breakup and it took me a good 6 months just to realize who i was and where i was at in my life. now i know i always have my rocks(fiance, besties, sisters) to fall back on if needed but i can be independant as well.
mr. wonderful will come into your life hun (as you already know) and until then enjoy your wonderful life that you LOVE because you LOVE yourself!
i hope you are having a great week sweetie!!
I wanted to comment on this the second I read it, but you know I'm a lazy blogger (thankfully not a lazy friend, however!). This is lovely, as are you. There is no bigger, or more enduring, love affair than the one you have with yourself and I really believe that you can only find the second true love of your life after you've developed a relationship with the first true love of your life, yourself. Wow, that's good. Did I come up with that? I gotta use that. Anyway, back to you…
Congratulations on having the courage to write and live your own love story. It's gorgeous! Love you!
I love you all. Thank you so so much!
i ABSOLUTELY effin love this. and i totally know how you feel.
lovely read! very inspiring.
What a fabulous way to live your life! That is amazing my dear!! AMAZING!
So I have been going through your archive for a bit now (I'm a super stalker tonight!) and I totally felt my heart thump a little louder as I slowly read all your words here.
I LOVE this post. There are a few posts on the blogs I follow that really provoke a physical response (I won't count laughter, because that's a given most of the time) and I am happy to bookmark this post. Refer to it time from time and carry the message with me everyday.
Thank you for this. It's beautiful and it speaks to me at my core.
xo, e
