The gift of support
So this weekend, I gave the gift of support. My beloved was asked to go to San Fransisco to be the honored guest and healer for some dear students and friends. He is expanding on his journey and he asked if I would like to go with him. The truth was that I am not a San Fran fan, and am very familiar with his teachings, and thought I might like to pass this one up as time to ourselves would be non-exsistent and the agenda was remedial as it was a beginners class. I decided that if I was branching out in my career or spiritual path, I would want him to be there with me to support and witness that new step. I decided to give that gift to him. I told him that I wanted to go to support him, encourage him, and simply BE with him while he took this step. He appreciated it and said several times as we lay exhausted after a day of teaching, "I'm so glad you're here." I couldn't sleep the entire weekend, and had plenty more I COULD have complained about, but decided to use the time to GROW myself, into the partner of his dreams. What would love do?
What I got: I met new friends. I had a few moments of connection with an incredible woman that is dear friends with my Beloved. The weekend ended with a conversation that opened up further authenticity between both of us. I'm still looking forward to where that will take us.

Awww, thanks:) He has been a wonderful support. I call him like tech support whenever I am losing it. He tells me that no matter what is happening, he will help me remember who I am. Wow! I don't even know who that is? He says that he sees her, and she is wonderful:)
