Shannon's Journal Discussion Thread, Vol. 5

[Shannon]

Shannon I Know this is down the road a ways..... but I'd love to see a whole line  or at least 3 titles that relate to  1)romance/dating  2),attracting a life mate, 3) making/helping/keeping the relationship working/functioning/healthy/communicative vibrant  -  if need be I'll re-post this in the suggestion box.... I have this faulty Idea that relationships dont work out..... so why bother? Im usually not like that but when it comes to intimate relationships  dang its a Bitch. Trust is abouve all else and thats where the rub is,more like a rash. NOT trusting when it goes that deep. the problem of 'dragging the past into the future and projecting those long ago,last experiences on to the present.
 A  sticky wicket,mate( British' accent optional, imma "Merican)
Something deeply is going on with OF  2 months  and some change into it...now....as I've shared two posts today,which 'normally' I would never do this being one of them I guess its time to open up more,or even further.' I know part of the abouve renderings are  fear based stuff but not all.

PS:   I Have a long time friend of mine a good "Daddy Bear of sort" with a long grey beard and he recently met the love of  his life,he's 68 yrs of age and his Beloved one,is lover Man is 56 , they boh have thee same birthday Nov.22nd and are incredibly compatible... no bull ,they really are and that on so many levels,it amazes me. showing that its not top late for Me either,at 62....even though oft times I feel it is...I too know this can change. I saw this today online....
Here is another example of such,this Man is 57... and his Man....56....
" I have found my lifetime partner
After not being the settling down kind, I am now settling down. We both were not even really looking and it happened. Love has found it's way into our lives. So there is always a chance for everybody.
NEVER SAY NEVER!!!"  so there is hope for me and men like me,what ever the age.....

At the bottom of the ocean, there is a lot of sand.  When you blow away some of that sand, you find things that have been buried.  Sometimes, you find shipwrecks and skeletons.  Sometimes you find treasure, but it's locked in a chest.

Recognizing the issues is a BIG step toward accomplishing your goals.  Maybe there are shipwrecks and skeletons, but that doesn't mean they have to always be the result.  And someone somewhere has the key to that treasure chest.

There is someone for everyone.  You have to let yourself find them.  Of course I'm preaching to the choir with all this.  And you know those programs are coming, sooner or later.  Let me tell you something, though.  Running OF is going to make finding your deep connection vastly easier.  In fact, if you run it for long enough, it may all by itself, clear away what's in the way.  

Have you ever felt the connection you want?  Maybe it would be helpful to try exploring what it feels like?  That would set up the right state for creating the right affinities.  And that can't hurt while you wait.  : But what do you want most?  Only you can answer that.
