LETTING LOVE IN | #TellYourStory - When did saying yes to love light up your life?
Maybe it was saying yes to the love of a neighbor or the love of a sibling or a parent. And of course, how cool it is when we say love yes to love. That's just really cool. I keep on saying the word love a lot. Maybe it's on my mind. I can't wait to hear your stories about saying yes to love and how it lit up your life. Thank you so much. Bye

Hi Deborah, Becky here from visions expression and I just want to thank you for this post about when did we realize we were open to love and you know, we go through life. Battered, beaten, winds raged, waters plunged, ice froze, blizzards came, and the lakes no longer made their rainy run out. It's too late when we run low. Hopefully there's something that can be done
You. This is really an interesting topic. So for me, letting love in. I grew up with parents who were scared of cats. Actually, my mom was definitely afraid of them and I always liked them. But I was never ever allowed to have pets as a child. So interestingly enough, as an adult, I now am the cat woman and the cat lady. I first became a cat mom 20 years ago to a cat named Merlin. He was the best. I love that boy
You. That's so funny. I just realized your name is Deborah. My name is also Deborah. Spelled the same way, too. As far as letting love in, I was in an abusive relationship from the age of 18 to 24. And so after that, it became really difficult for me to accept love. It it's just because I was battered at that point from someone who supposedly loved me, treating me wrong, treating me in the worst way possible

And it's good to know that when things happen to us and we have an ability to look back, it's good to say, how would I be in the future? What will I let in? And what will I keep out? It's always a process and a learning curve for everything, especially matters of the heart

And then I was like, oh, wow, that's the guy I talked to, like, two weeks ago. And so then I went up to him again, and I was like, hi, how are you? Do you remember me? And he's like, yeah. Then we had dinner, and then we went to a party, and then pretty much 19 years later, we never been apart, really. So we have a child together
That's such a cute story. Thank you for sharing that. I think, like, you were mentioning being different from each other. I think that's actually really an advantage in a relationship. When you're with someone who's different from you, it just offers you a different perspective on things, and, I don't know, I feel like it adds a lot to life

It's always nice to be aware that there's things at play that are unseen and whatever you name them, it's not even important. But that idea of being vibrating at that level of like, yeah, there's something going on here, I'm going to pay attention to it. The download ideas is just infectious. I really like it. Thank you

It. Thanks for saying that. I appreciate that. Yeah. I think there is something really beautiful about being with someone who's different from you. I would say there are challenges that come with that, but overall, you are you. So I don't see why you would want to be with someone just like you
