Sounds like a good idea to me.

2. FEATURE: Impossible Love?

This is an excerpt from Warrior of the Light by Paulo Coelho:

For the Warrior there is no such thing as an impossible love.

He is not intimidated by silence, indifference, or rejection. He knows that behind the mask of ice that people wear, there beats a heart of fire.

This is why the Warrior takes more risks than other people. He is constantly seeking the love of someone, even if that means often having to hear the word “no”, returning home defeated and feeling rejected in body and soul.

A Warrior never gives in to fear when he is searching for what he needs. Without love, he is nothing.

3. The Personal Touch

I’m in my new home! (video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BhAhq9bjrVM ) I’ve been traveling for 10 months out of the last 13! And I’m now happy to stay put for a while.

The retreat with the speakers and authors of www.tlc8.com in hawaii was powerful, leading me to question my purpose. (Recording of purpose discussion available on facebook.) The result was me declaring ‘Serve the World Mondays’ for the next 3 months, where I contribute to others regardless of revenue.

I’m still testing book titles, have a great book agent, and Jack Canfield has kindly agreed to right the foreword. (Awesome!)

We also have at least 5 projects we’re busily working on to generate revenue – quite a few product launches coming up.

And I’m single and ready to date again! What lovely women there are here in San Fran 🙂

Love,

David

My intention for 2009 is to be fully open to a relationship built on a heart connection, friendship, generosity of spirit, and kindness. I’m ready to have a full-on, intimate connection. The risk I’m willing to take is to be myself, to embrace who I am, and to offer who I am enthusiastically.

My past relationships were built on me not being authentic or accepting of myself, of disregarding my intuition. I attracted men who were critical, unavailable, or otherwise not present. I understand that it made perfect sense that I would attract that energy to my life. In getting clear within myself, I’ve created space for an authentic relationship based on trust, authenticity, compassion, and appreciation.

Wish me luck as I open a new path to love! 🙂

Oh Diana – go for it!

Alistair – I’m moved by your comments.

David – good for you. I wish you fun and lightness with your mission. Make sure you win YOU back too 🙂

You guys inspired me to read the article again – I haven’t seen that excerpt since August last year when I sent it to Beth to publish. I’m moved to tears.

And I think he’s slightly off in the idea of seeking love outside ourselves. As you guys mention, it’s loving ourselves, and loving others, that has us feel love. (And then we can blame someone else for it if we like 🙂

Love to you all,

Diana

The risk I want to take right now: is to let the lovely man who has been hanging around in my life for the last few months know that he’s more than a good friend. The risk in this – my fear of rejection and losing him as a friend too!

Hi David, well, yes, I think that I fit the warrior model…lol…last year my wife of ten years announced during our O/S holiday that we was leaving me…we still live together in the same house, mostly for the kids sake, but i am determined to win her back. I made some pretty basic errors, but i did the best I could with what I knew then…the seperation has driven my on the most amazing spiritual journey…and I thank her for that. So my goal is to be back together by August this year…god willing and cupid active…I have lost 12kg, taken a good hard look at myself, uncovered my spiritual self, and now understand that the most important thing in my life is my family…cut out my business travel…focussed on being a good dad. Live in the “now” without expectation, but with some pretty important preferences…lol…good luck with your search too, cheer, David

Scary – yes, scary is the word for me to use when I think about stepping up to the plate of a relationship again. I’ve been sorting myself for three years now (following a 17 year relationship, 14 married), and I reckon I may be about ready to stop window shopping, and at least enter the building for a closer look.
A friend once called me a perfectionist – which, when I look around the disarray of my house, I find hard to believe – however, when I consider my requirements for a new man in my life, perfect is about how I wanted it to be.
I do feel I can now let go of that a little, just a little, and be content with the perfect inperfection that love brings.
I do want to feel that all-embracing warmth of being held.
My risk therefor, is to let it happen.
Just let it happen. cheers …

Wow … I know exactly the feeling that Paul Coelho described. 26-months after an earth shattering separation and would I do it all again? Yes, yes, YES!! But the pain and the downside is so frightening; so intense; so all encompassing. yes I’m scared. But in the same time and the same breath I’ve started to learn to live without someone by my side all the time; to start to enjoy the peace; to enjoy and accept myself more; and to love my children more and to love other people and to value them more. But why am I always attracted to the same fiery and mystical personality; the same type that drives we wild and drives me insane and has repetitively caused me pain. If I could learn to love life properly; and, learn to love me properly; and, learn to love others properly perhaps I wouldn’t be prone to making the same mistakes, again and again. I think I had better listen to Kate ….. 🙂

I am soooo thrilled and excited for Katie’s call. I love this quote she gives in her newsletter: “When you truly love yourself, it’s not possible to project that other people don’t love you.”

Thank you, David, for providing us all the opportunity to listen in on someone of her caliber. Such a gift. 🙂

P.S. I’ve declared this year to be my year for BIG love. Your article came right at the perfect time to inspire me to be fearless.

Taking a risk? Maybe I’m up to that again, I say with a sigh. Last relationship is over by nearly two years–a man who appealed to my “retired Camp Fire Girl” side but was educationally and culturally as different as a silver satin moonbeam from a steaming cow pie. About a week ago, I opened my thought to meeting an educated, well spoken man with whom a friendship could blossom and then, who knows? Right after being willing to listen, Jerry walked into my life. Seated at the library computer next to mine, we struck up a conversation and I smiled. He showed me how to the technical wizardry of the new printer, which, if you are not careful can reprogram passing satellites. He’s visiting for a month from the snows of NY and defrosting in CA. It would be wonderful if he walked back into that library. And yes, I’ll take the risk and speak up again.
With Joy, K
