A Love Letter...

My Sweet Jonny,

This year, I was caught by surprise as Valentine’s Day came about, because to be totally honest, I wasn’t really thinking that I would have a Valentine this year.  But as this day of love came upon us and I realized that I would in fact have a Valentine, and that my Valentine would be YOU, I frantically racked my brain for how I could impress you with an amazingly wonderful surprise gift.  However, no gift seemed to do justice for how I was feeling, so instead, this year I am going to let my gift be my invitation to continue to create something wonderful together with you, to express my love simply and openly to you, with you. 

This year, I see Valentine’s Day as two lovers who were separated for six months, but whom came back together because we knew that we could never stop loving one another.  We reunited from two very different (yet similar) journeys and have agreed to come together as we each grow, develop and unfold into the beings that we were brought here on Earth to be.   I also see it as two lovers who discovered our own individuality again; and we found that individuality because we let vulnerability into our true emotions and love for who we really are.  And I see that this true love between us occurred because our souls had time to mature.  We were broken down and beat around and struggled to continue on – yet in that pain and despair, we were able to be ripped open so that the light within could shine brightly and brilliantly and finally be shared purely with one another, and in that process of being ripped open, we grew and our souls grew, and we matured.   And in that mature space we now allow each other to feel and be heard, we have created a space to share our naked emotions, revealing the truth and beauty of our own soul and inner peace.  And as we move forward, we must continue to remind ourselves that we can only live in the present, unable to control the past or determine the future, and that forgiveness is a process that must be practiced daily.  The best that we can do is to ensure that our own seed of love is as strong, healthy and vibrant as it can possibly be so that we can plant that seed of love in one another’s hearts.  And so my gift to you today, is simply to say I love you and that I am here continuing along this path with you, planting my seed of love and sharing this bruitiful journey called Life. 

In Love,

laughter erupts

shoulders relax

tears fall

hearts open

positivity ripples

eyes glimmer

touches soften

happiness pursues

smiles broaden

everyone is forgiven

and We sparkle and shine.

I love you.
