I'd love to be a dolphin! Honestly, if I return, that's what I'd like to be if I had that option!
Now, in "The Wealthy Spirit", Chellie Campbell talks about people being sharks, tuna, or dolphins...and in her meaning, I've certainly become a dolphin. Dolphins are those who reach out and help others, and live higher lives than tuna or sharks since they don't need to put others down to feel good about themselves.
Not always, Odysseus. I know of relationships that fell apart because of the onset of a disability. I had one marriage do this, but not because of the disability...it was how the medications changed him that I couldn't live with any more. The man I married had died...and we were married for years after his back injury. But the last course of painkillers they had him on changed his personality permanently, and I couldn't live with the man he'd become. And the only other woman I know of that he dated afterwards left him when he bruised her...the man I married wouldn't dream of doing that to a woman.
Sometimes it's not the disability, but who the person becomes because of it. And sometimes, it's the fact that someone can't handle being with someone who isn't perfect any more, or they find the changes make them lose attraction, and the love isn't strong enough to withstand this. It's not a judgment, it's just part of life. We're all different, and can handle different things. I don't know if I could date someone in a wheel chair...I spend a lot of time outdoors, have two young large dogs, and a house that has the main floor upstairs, and is not wheel chair accessible. For others, this wouldn't be a problem at all.
My last boyfriend did, and I actually enjoyed it. There was just something warm and fuzzy, and utterly masculine, about all of that hair.
But he had short hair on his head, and that I tend to prefer, but I wouldn't let long hair or being bald stop me. (My late husband was the only man with long hair that I ever dated.)
Material desire is a matter for today's man. They say, "money creates the opportunities for joy". But if money is the most important matter then what about the real passion(LOVE).???
Love is more important than money. I don't care how much money someone has or makes, if there's no love I'm not interested. Sparking my mind is the best way to spark my heart...and sparking my hormones helps a lot too.
I do agree with this though...it's important to be able to pay the bills and buy groceries and gas, as well as to have enough left over for a few wants. I have no desire to be homeless and live in abject poverty.
A simple "would you like to meet for coffee sometime?"
However, a word of caution about dating someone in your workplace...it's not always wise. Proceed slowly and with caution. Some of the greatest romances have happened this way too, so it's worth the risk. You can always go work elsewhere if things go too sour.
I'll echo this. Thank you for this site, and for the maintenance of it. I might not always agree with what goes on, but I understand that efforts are always made to keep peace on here, and that you must respond the way you feel best to complaints.
I've made a lot of friends around the world and across the US, and had a lot of interesting discussions that have given me new insights, that I wouldn't have made without this site. Happy Holidays!
I'm past that...kundalini is awake and flourishing...why do you think I can jump so easily from talking with my sacral chakra to talking with my third eye chakra?
Beautiful images, though. Thank you for sharing that.
Well said. And so I acknowledge mine, learn from them, and forgive myself for them. I never try to bury them, because if we don't remember them, it's hard to keep the lessons. However, I don't dwell on them either.
We're of equal value, equal worth...something that many societies don't recognize. But we have different strengths. Men are physically stronger, for the most part, than women. But we have more endurance and are stronger emotionally. Neither is better than the other, just different, but of equal worth.
"Best match" and "quick relation" have different priorities. One is for the long term, the other for short term. I didn't answer in your poll because of the lack of clarification of your meaning here.
For a best match, the top priority of most people is personality. But for a "quick relation", short term relationship, or one night stand, looks are usually most important...or willingness to hop in the sack.
This is why we encourage people to join in the international forums, and why so many from the US are in here. Very few options locally (I live near Pittsburgh and have this issue too), and the local forums hardly ever get any action either.
Funny, but sometimes people in the international forums have found people near them. And sometimes if you write to someone local who hasn't logged on in a while but has caught your interest, you'll find that they're still available, they just haven't logged on in a long time for the same reason...not finding anyone nearby. Blessings, and good luck in your search.
If they stay over a few times, I get the information on the toilet seat and what they look like in the morning pretty quickly.
It's the other things about living with them that don't always show at first...like are they too lazy to pick up after themselves? People tend to be on their best behavior in the early stages of a relationship. And sometimes, you just don't know until after you marry someone. Had that happen in my third marriage...amazing the changes that little piece of paper made in his personality.
I've tried it twice on here, and both fell apart before we met in person. It takes a lot of trust, communication, and commitment from both parties to make a LDR work. I give those who succeed at it much respect, because it's not easy. And eventually someone has to be able to uproot to move to the other one.
I won't say I'd never consider it again, but the man would have to be very special, and we'd have to develop it from friendship over time. I won't jump into one of those again, and if it happens I won't make it public until after we meet this time.
Seasons blessings to all! May we all find what we seek in the upcoming months.
Thank you all for your replies. I had a beautiful time last night. Despite the warmth (compared to other years when it's been bitter cold with strong winds), we had few adventurous souls out last night, but we still had a wonderful celebration.
Sadly, I learned last night of the recent passing of one of the beautiful souls I've met out at The Mesa, a spiritual leader and teacher that I had made a strong connection with and admired greatly. She was a beautiful soul with wonderful energy, and she will be missed by many. Thankfully, it was peaceful as she passed on in her sleep after enjoying a wonderful day and evening with family.
Blessings to all in the coming seasons. May we all find an abundance of new blessings in our lives.
I'll do that. Let me go through my shelves for some recommendations, and I'll give you a list. Shopping online is very easy, especially on a secure site, which most are today. It's not as risky as it once was. Seriously, check out that website...and Amazon can be searched by category and often has deals. Half Priced Books is also online. If you're that thirsty for reading material in English right now, especially in this arena, I think you're going to have to go online.
