My Valentine

I’m not really much of a Valentine’s Day fan. In years past it held expectations I could never live up to; expectations for “gifts” to express one’s love.  I have always felt that love should be every day and the gifts of love don’t need to be bought.

This year, there were no expectations – just another day of love in my life. My valentine is Michael – and he is my valentine every single day. He wrote this really sweet list of things he wanted to say to me on Valentines Day. No one has ever written anything for me. It might sound corny, but it was just the best gift I could have gotten.  It was a profession of his love and feelings on the internet! So you know it’s gotta be true! (wink)

Well, I have my own list of things I want to say to my man on Valentines Day!

hearts1. You are without a doubt, the love of my life.

2. When I doubt myself, you bring me back. Thank you.

3. You make me laugh. Every single day. You have no idea how good that feels.

4. Craigs list rules!

5.  I’ve got some clean sheets! Wanna help me put em on or take em off?

6. Your touch still gives me goosebumps. Every time.

7. Your kisses do make everything all better.

8. The last time I saw you (a glance a moment ago) was like the first time.

9. How about you, me and a sunset?

10. I believe in you. I believe in me. I believe in us. <3

When The Stars Aligned – The Story of Robin & Michael

I first “met” Michael in September of 2007.  I had very recently separated from my husband, with no intentions of going back.  After 8 tumultuous years of marriage laden with verbal and emotional abuse, it came to a very nasty end; ultimately landing my soon-to-be-ex in jail for Aggravated Stalking.

9/21/07 – A day I will never forget

I’m coming up on a very special anniversary….

On 9/21/07, I had my first date with Michael.  It was a wonderful beginning to a love I never expected – a love I waited for – a love I deserved.  I could have never imagined loving someone so much.

Here I am, just a week away from 1 year later. My life is incredible! It’s amazing what you can accomplish with the support of someone that truly loves you and believes in you.  My dreams of working for myself are now a reality – and whether or not that is successful isn’t the point. The point is that I have the ability to pursue my dream, no holds barred.  He loves me that much.

A very good question!!

Follow up to my previous blog…

Many of you know I hadn’t been separated from my ex for very long when I met Mike. 3 months to be exact. I wasn’t ready for any kind of relationship, I was still healing myself.  I still had things I wanted to do and accomplish. It was not the time for love.

God had different plans. 

I knew when I met him I would never be the same.  I had no idea what I was doing, or why, all I knew is that whenever I was with him I was smiling and laughing.  That’s something I had really missed. I came to the conclusion that perhaps he was part of my healing. I embraced it. I also came to find that I could still do the things I wanted, and accomplish those goals that I had. My relationship wasn’t a hindrance to any of my “plans”. In fact, it was like rocket fuel! 

A friend of mine who is coming out of her own “hell”, so to speak, has asked me “how long do I wait?”.

The answer is in your heart. Trust it, listen to it, live by it. It will not let you down. I think that with every failed relationship, we have stifled our own intuition in an attempt to “make it work”.  If you learn nothing else in this life, learn to trust yourself. Your instinct is usually right.

The evolution of love

So Mike and I have been together for 8 months now, and I had been waiting for the “evolution” of our relationship.  You know, when you go from calling/texting/emailing 458 times per hour to maybe once or twice a day; or when you still feel butterflies when you see them, but you aren’t consumed with the thought of being with them 24/7.

This happens in any relationship, over time. 8 months in the grand scheme of things probably isn’t all that long.  I think that because we are “grown ups”, we aren’t insecure about the relationship itself or about the other person playing games with emotions, etc.  We love spending time together, and so we do.  As such, we’ve already been through quite a bit together.  My love for him has evolved; from this giddy euphoria, to this well-rounded heart filling, overwhelming love.  The 2 feelings are very different.  Read more »
