    Hi all 🙂 Sorry for the ramblings, I’m having a hard time organizing my thoughts.

    I would consider myself a proactive person, I tackle issues head on and am very enthusiastic about trying new behaviors as well as being open to changing my perspective on things… I am open minded, passionate and flexible. For the first time in my adult life I am actually single (not interested in, seeing, dating or exclusive with anyone) & I am very much enjoying spending time with myself and I feel a sense of peace that I have never felt before however one fear continues to haunt me.

    It has been my lifelong dream to create a family for myself since I lost my Mom at a very young age to drugs & alcohol. I have spent my life really working on myself (therapy, self help books & a lot of introspection) so that when I have a family of my own, I won’t project my issues onto my kids like my Mom did. While I enjoy being on my own (note that I am an only child & am very independent) I am having a very hard time dealing with the fear of not having this family that I so desperately want. My ex boyfriends were interested in having a family with me, but deep down I my intuition told me that it wasn’t the right decision so I would end the relationship.

    The difficulty that I am experiencing now is letting go of the attachment I have of this dream of mine and leaving it up to the Universe to decide if it’s in the cards for me. Love isn’t something that you can control or make happen no matter how hard you work and it scares me very deeply to think that I may never meet the person that my intuition recognizes as the right partner. I have been proactive about dating in the past but since it wasn’t working out for me, I decided to try a new behavior and just be single for awhile to get to know myself even better and also become more emotionally autonomous.

    I am very attached to this dream but since it’s not something that I can control it is causing me a lot of emotional distress. Any insight or feedback you may have is welcome. Light & love x

    Hi Dee Raspberry

    You have a beautiful name 🙂

    You are quite an insightful person yourself so I won’t spend too much time preaching you 🙂

    If you can have faith in my faith, then pls believe that it is all happening perfectly for your highest good. When we trust our intelligent mind to provide for our needs or desires, we may sometimes take wrong decisions but when we let our higher self do the work for us, things never go wrong. Everything is happening perfectly for your highest good and it will continue to do so in the future too. So far so good in my life with this belief. Life is meant to be easy and flow smoothly. We make it a bed of thorns or a stony path due to our arrogance or ignorance.

    Blessings and continue to spread your light.

    Jasmine

    Thank you Jasmine for your little burst of sunshine and supportive message. It’s true that I simply need to let go and tap into my faith the the Universe knows exactly what it is doing and that it has it’s best intentions for me. Sometimes you just need to reach out to others and have them remind you of the faith you already have inside of you.

    Dee,

    I am sorry for your suffering. Dreams are indeed difficult to surrender. However, please know that alternatives always exist.

    “Though you may never have the chance of tasting the pear, it does not mean you can’t enjoy the apple.”

    The above quote resonates highly true within me and has become one of my core philosophies. Please do your best to see and accept this truth within you. While possible that you may never bear children from your own body (due to the various uncontrollable forces), you can still be a parent. Have you ever considered adopting? There are many children without parents who yearn for parental love. Could this be a viable option for you?

    Al
