In the spirit of Gary Van Warmerdam, I am going to use this method to document some success. I did recently have some things shift and realized that while I keep looking for love, it's already here, available, I just need to accept what is being offered. That's not always in the way we are looking for it (like a romantic relationship), but it is an act of being present to say what I have is enough and I can be happy with it. What's more was giving myself permission to GIVE love without the expectation of receiving it in return (or the expectation of how that would look, might be more accurate). WOW, that really felt like I had opened a door when I had really been feeling like I was constantly slamming them shut with finding people who didn't meet my needs, so moving on....I realized I do have needs and still try to get them met, but it doesn't mean I can't accept the experiences I am being offered, as long as I am still taking care of myself. That leaves me free to experience people for who they are and I look forward to enjoying that construct.
Now, I hope to bring that into other areas, likely by taking more "risks" with my business/art.....funny, I'm waiting until I develop a plan on how to proceed there, when what is needed is to again be present with what is here, enjoy the experience and have gratitude around it. The rest happens. boy it's hard to let go of trying to control it.

Wow! Yeah, letting go of those expectations is ridiculous hard!! But then I have to remind myself, what choice do I really have? I can sit here wishing things were different, that this person would put in what I am, but the fact of that matter is, we love differently, we are in different places and the best we can do is just be our loving selves.....and maybe, just maybe, that will be responded to in like. And when it's not, you get to decide to move on. Patience!! Yes...patience....and....some moving on...
