Title:

Love is the Rain the Feeds the Soil of my Home

heart rain

The More I get my life back the more I look around and discover I am surrounded by love. So much love. Love is a funny thing because it comes in many shapes and sizes. I have the deep and enduring love of my husband. This love is full of acceptance for the person I am and am evolving. He accepts me for my flaws and my mistakes and loves me all the more for them. He thinks I am beautiful despite my low self esteem; he looks at me and all I see is complete adoration and love. I CAN do wrong and I can upset him BUT its okay because that love is there with all its forgiveness and he surrenders to it unabashedly.

Then I have the unconditional love of my dog Rainy Day and my horse Rosie Day. Its innocent and expectant. Nothing is held back. When I come home from work or from getting the mail from across the street Rainy gives me this entire body wag and hurriedly races to her toy box to give me a gift. When I pull up to see Rosie I get a great huge WHINNY with ears straight up and a quivering lip. Pure Joy at my presence.

Then I have that wonderful love of my friends such as Trudy, Eileen, Karen and many others who know me, love me for my flaws and quirks and cry when I cry and laugh when I laugh.

In order for flowers to grow and reproduce, to thrive and to exist they must have rain that not only keeps its cells hydrated but also is a conduit to bring much needed nutrients to the vascular system. The love I receive from my husband, pets and friends is the rain that feeds my soil…my soul…..the home to all that I am.

 

“Love like rain, can nourish from above, drenching couples with a soaking joy. But sometimes under the angry heat of life, love dries on the surface and must nourish from below, tending to its roots keeping itself alive.”
― Paulo CoelhoBy the River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept

I had to come in and make some changes to my profile. I am now a 46 year old woman that is still married to the greatest man EVER and thankfully the Universe saw fit to have my Rainy Day and my Rosie still with me. We all moved from my beloved island of Catalina back to my much missed Moab and I am so glad to be back. I no longer have the care of my mother so I am free to pursue the person I am meant to find. My care giving days are over except for me. I continue to photograph, write and explore the woman I am. I am discovering my spirit and working on strengthening my Reiki skills as I have let all that was important to me to be set aside as I cared for others until I couldn't do anything at all anymore. That was just mere weeks ago and I feel so much better. I am beginning to feel alive and I am loving life. I am feel so blessed and I am loving sharing my life and loves with my readers in my blogs. Its been one of the most cathartic things I have ever done. No more fears...just the truth.
