grateful for this place

i feel that this group couldn't have been created at a better time for me, so i want to begin by thanking hummingbird and genie for their loving gift to us in this initiative.

as i have shared in another discussion here earlier today, i've been in the situation of ending a relationship, and living what that means for the rest of my life. i am really looking forward to exploring more deeply why i haven't been able to make a successful connection up to now.

i also want to thank you for being very clear up front that this is not the place for finding relationships. i have felt more and more that it is important for me not to be in that seeking mode, that rather i need to learn the joy of my life as it is, and so i feel safe and at home in this place of exploring and discovering with other friends who are in similar situations, as well as those who are joyfully in relationship like our beloved hosts.

love,

nicole

Dear Nicole, yours is the 1st introduction in this group - in keeping with my sense of you being courageous. Your openness is such a role model of being truly loving in the best way - giving you an enormous cyber hug all the way from the other side of earth. I am looking forward to this journey with you

Re: grateful for this place

Hello ALL here in this wonderful group (btw. thanks a lot for the invitation).

Romantic relationships are often considered as “love”, even relationships in general are considered as love. That's why I have posted in my blog an article by Abraham who explains IMO perfectly relationships and related to them love…

Here is a definition of love by Elias which is in my opinion perfect:

Love is knowledge and appreciation!

Hi Nicole, Hi Zephyr,

thank you for coming to our new group
conceived in bed as a light bulb went off
and created during the rest of the day
birthed in the early evening

Anna and I had birthed the idea of writing a book about our meeting on Gaia and that's when the idea of this group was birthed

Anna and I both feel that this group will be of enormous benefit
When a loving group of people share their insights
magical things can happen

I'm so glad you could both join us here
this will be a place of deep insights
into a part of each of us
which is probably the most dear

Here is a place we have created
for each of us to learn about ourselves
How much we learn will depend to a large part
on how honest we are with ourselves

This is a safe place
and we support each others journey
with love and care; without judgment
We are all a radiant source of light
we simply need to uncover that
and allow that to shine without impediment

enjoy your journey and your sharing!

Re: grateful for this place

I think this is soooo cool, because it is about us finding and exploring the love within and without. So many people I have talked to lately have lost that  connection within themselves and their relationships and some of us may not quite have ever had it.  Thank you so much Anna and Gien because we have a beacon of the most beautiful form love can take that I have ever seen :)
hugs and peaches,

Re: grateful for this place

Sprite, your enthusiasm and exuberance are on contagious - I'm sure everyone benefits from it! Your 'lost' friends must treasure the glow

Re: grateful for this place

Sharing with everyone can only help everyone, thank you for creating the group and the space to share and care on Gaia.
We are all deepening our capacity to love ourselves and everyone else every single day of our lives.
Blessings to you both
Tai
