The Surfboard of Life (Part II)

When I started writing for The Mom & Caregiver as the Soulful Single Mom, it was three years post-divorce. I was fully integrated into the single mama lifestyle, and wrote articles to share and give hope that if going through a divorce or on the precipice of that decision, that all would be well, and that the co-parenting lifestyle, although a calibration, was a healthy choice that would provide peace and model to children the art of living authentically in your truth. 

My desire to embark on the journey to find new love arose, and I shifted my focus on articles surrounding self-love and opening my heart. I felt out of sorts diving into the culture of online dating, however I danced and wobbled my way forward and was hopeful of what was on the other side of swiping left or right. I went out on 10 first dates throughout those two years. None of those dates progressed into love, but they did allow me to learn what my standards were, get clear and stay firm with what I wanted, as well as smash limiting beliefs around my self-worth. And, that timing is everything. 

Last summer I met a man at a party about a month after shutting down the online apps. This man embodies everything that I’ve ever wanted and provides in ways I didn’t know I needed. His love is gentle, kind, truthful and titillating, and every day is full of fun and play. The accelerated progression and growth within our relationship has felt like flow, and integration will be inevitable. Love is here, and I couldn’t feel more blessed. 

My hope for you is simple as I close off my time with this last article. Trust yourself. Give yourself permission to live the life you deserve, even though it may not be clear how or when you will manifest your desires. Just know that as you build your own inner foundation of self-love and follow through on your truth, your journey to happiness will inevitably be there, as you ride the waves on the surfboard of life.
