My life has seemed to come full circle now that I have faced my own “Heart Secrets”. We all carry our own Heart Secrets within the deepest chambers of our hearts. For years, I protected my Heart Secrets to be sure no one found out. But the truth is, that once I came to grips with why my life had often seem to spin out of control, then and only then could I be free. My Heart Secrets was my obsession with finding true love. For years, I had written and spoken on numerous topics. Yet it never ceased to amaze me that the number one topic for most women was “Love“. In almost every conversation, the subject of love seemed to surface. It had become a cultural obsession. Someone was trying to find, keep or to get rid of what they thought was true love; nevertheless, we remained obsessed with it. I too had my own secret obsession with this thing called love.
After years of struggling with this obsession myself, I had to find some answers in order to move forward with my own life. After a painful divorce from a sixteen-year marriage, and several years of struggling as a single mother of three teenagers, I had reached my point of desperation. I felt lonely, unhappy and unlovable. I was consumed with all the negative emotions I had taught against for many years. I grew tired of looking for someone to love me, so I convinced myself that love was not in the plan for my life.
Then one day after one of my many pity parties, I heard this still, small voice whisper to me “Revive Your Own Love Story.” What was that? It was God! A God, which up until then had seemed so distant from me. I came to learned that in order to create the love story I so wanted, so longed for, somewhere in the deeper recesses of my soul, I had to identify the reasons for its absence. You see, in order for my pain to heal, I had to first heal my misplaced sense of identity. I learned that I didn’t know who I was or how love looked. Who was I? My Heart Secret had begun to surface and oh what pain I would have to face!!
