#IAMTHEHAPPYTHATICREATE

 

Love done right is perfect.  Something that has taken me a long while to  understand. I didn't have to be perfect. He didn't either.  But the way in which we "loved" on  ourselves and each other should have been. I'm thankful for and appreciate such an important lesson.

This go round I'm taking notes and my time. Taking  my time loving on myself, connecting with the  divine feminine and figuring out what I specifically want in my significant man. No relying on failed dating coaches, talk shows, magazine articles or crystal balls. 😂😂😂. Just me operating in, overflowing with, blessed and assured, under the heavens.

Enjoy your love day shenanigans. Meanwhile............
