This is so beautiful and so beautifully expressed. I’ll bet your Dad can feel your love and is very proud of the woman you are!

Liz, Thanks so much for writing so honestly. This is a beautiful line: “the journey to loving one’s self & being thankful for life requires a daily choice.” Sounds like you are on such a good and filling path. In my experience, the timing was so Divine I would not have had it any other way, even though I could only say that after the fact. All the work, waiting, frustration, and repeated attempts to let go and trust in a greater intelligence then made perfect sense. From the sincerity and clear heart in your writing, I’m sure it will for you too. xo – Eleanor

Thank you. Tonight I was a little discouraged until I read your blog & this post in particular. At the urging & modeling of my sister, I’ve created 2 collages, a full life picture & a separate prayer to the universe signally I am ready for a partner. As I read the post, I realized I chose to make a feelings collage (though I too have my lists & affinity for idealized images).

The 2nd collage is an unspecific image of a man & a woman standing side-by-side in a kitchen (that I find inspiring) and sharing a moment of laughter & closeness while helping each other do the dishes, maybe after a dinner in. Beside the couple I added a mailbox labeled w/the name of the month (then March). I wrote prayers for a healthy, genuine, lifelong love to come my way & put them in the mailbox. As time passes, I update the name of month, taping one on top of the other. When I got home today, I realized I need to find or write in June.

Reading your post confirmed that God has heard my prayers. I reflected on the self worth & care I have invested in over the past 4 mos, & one of the most important lesson I’ve learned: the journey to loving one’s self & being thankful for life requires a daily choice.

‘Right now’ may not be the time for me to meet him yet. But, I will continue in faith & hope with renewed confidence that I’m on the right path toward loving my life wholly now, while being open to the honor of loving & receiving love.

Nice post! Thanks for sharing it. As soon as I find the time I’m going to make a collage like this.

It sounds true to me, Eleanor…good for you! Congratulations!

I am gonna make myself a ‘feelings’ collage! Is there an age limit to these collages and their magic?

Exactly! I think that God is love, and so, just as God is energy, God is manifest between the love of two people. We must rejoice when it is there, and realize that when it moves on, it is God moving on from that relationship as well, showing us it is time to move along ourselves. God is always present (both meanings: in time, and as a gift), we have what we are ready to receive. Thank you Eleanor,for these weekly missives. They have become a vital touchstone.

Comment on Peace by Mimi

What a beautiful post, Eleanor! I love your image of holding hands with Jesus.

I, too, find peace in those quiet times when I bring myself intentionally into that space to be alone with God. And sometimes I find it in authentic conversations, and those moments when I can be fully present — to another or to nature or even to myself. It is then that I can say with St. Julian of Norwich, “All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of thing shall be well.”
