Another New Year. Another birthday rounding the corner. Another engagement on the rocks and back on the dating scene to try to learn something valuable about myself like a Julia Roberts mix between Runaway Bride and Eat Pray Love – I’m not quite sure if I need to figure out if I like my eggs over easy or if I just need to spend the next eight months of my life in Lotus position focusing on my inner strength? Either way, I have decided that I am going to have an intimate relationship with myself this year.
Yes, you heard me correctly. I am going to accompany myself to classes, hold my books, buy myself a coffee, and spend long hours at the coffee shop with a table for two. I am going to buy myself flowers at random. I am going to make myself breakfast in bed. I am going to give myself gifts. I am going to eat chocolate. I am going to spend long days in bed. I am going to read at night with the light on and a warm pillow. I am going to go for walks when it is warm. I am going to go shopping for a puppy if I find that I can afford it. I am going to plan a trip to someplace I have never been before and go alone. I am going to go out to dinner to places that seem exotic to me. I am going to double date with friends to try to be more social. I am going to make myself laugh out loud because I LOVE people with a sense of humor and I need to work on my relationship with myself constantly!!! I am going to be as intellectual as possible because I am enamored with people who can hold a long conversation about things aside from every day complaints and relationships. I am going to dress up for myself. I am going to take long baths with rose petals. I am going to discuss with myself where I stand spiritually and politically. I am going to massage my feet while I watch movies. I am going to cuddle up under blankets on the couch. I am going to try new recipes at home. I am going to fall in love with myself for the first time until I am bright-eyed, happy, and full of laughter. Then and only then will I understand what it is that I want.
My Most Important Relationship Is With My Source.There is no relationship of greater importance to achieve than the relationship between you, in your physical body, right here and now, and the Soul/Source/God from which you have come. If you tend to that relationship, first and foremost, you will then, and only then, have the stable footing to proceed into other relationships. Your relationship with your own body; your relationship with money; your relationship with your parents, children, grandchildren, the people you work with, your government, your world . . . will all fall swiftly and easily into alignment once you tend to this fundamental, primary relationship first.

[...] Almost a year ago, I thought that January was my relief after spending 16 days already in the hospital over half of December missing so many bright, holiday festivities that I find myself repeatedly asking this year “Where was I last year…” and then trailing off into a bittersweet memory that can only be answered with “Oh yea…” I thought Healing was the perfect answer to my one worded resolution – like a self preserved vacation starting with my tragic yet brilliant desire to date myself (Blog Post: I am Falling In Love).
