As We Approach One Year of Getting to Know Each Other
April 2nd 2011, James and I started seeing each other live. We started talking a week before, and we'd already establish over the phone a connection that we both felt was important. In fact, we've talked every day since our first live phone call. As we approach this one year mark, it's incredible how much we've grown together already.
He has taught me to treat myself better, to respect my home, and to slow down and enjoy life. Through him, I'm more compassionate and kind to others too as a result of being kinder to myself. I laugh more.
I'm less focused on getting ahead, and more attuned to being authentic and present in my life. I'm rushing less from point A to B and finding the joy in the moment. I've certainly reduced my incredibly ridiculous schedule and trimmed away at a relentless list of to do items for so many groups, organizations...without giving up what is core and vitally important to me outside of our relationship.
For the first time in a long time, there's balance between my romantic life with James and my work and my volunteering, service, self-care and personal projects. I've even made time for family and friends. Maybe there should be a little more of that going forward as we feel rooted in our love and this relationship seems to be one in which we're both fully vested.
I'm glad we're looking sensibly at what it means to move in together and when that might be more appropriate to discuss and sort through. I'm glad that we're aiming for that without rushing.
Most of all, this is a weekend to celebrate our love. I'm thrilled that this man walked into my life and made it more rich, more loving, more joyful. We're good together. Thank you James, for you.
