Peace and many Blessings Sistahs,
First, I must say that this is an absolute wonderful site and I am honored to be here communing with you beautiful sistahs.
Now, I feel the need to share. I just found out that three of my friends were getting married. That information opened up an unhealed wound for me.
I am connected to a brother that I love very, very much. We were together for three years. We lived together, shared together and created together. I was much younger during the time of the relationship and I was not very embracive of the concept of self-love, therefore I dealt with lots of insecurity. One day, I literally cried out to the Universe asking "Whoever I am supposed to be, please let me be. Whatever I am supposed to do, give me the strength to do it." Less than a week later, the brother and I split. We wanted to give each other some space to grow, but we promised that when the time was right we would come back and love each other as we love ourselves. He used to always tell me that he couldn't wait until I turned 25.
I needed to deal with myself. That happened. I began to deal with my inner self. Through the guidance of the Most High, I created a women's empowerment organization called S.H.E.R.A.H. (Sisters Helping Each Other Reach a Higher Height). I learned, grew and loved. I continued to write for the most influential black paper in my city. I was performing with a very good band. He supported it all.

Years later, I went to Africa. I was 24 years experienced, when I touched down in the Mother Land. I stayed for six months. While I was there I turned 25, but one month and a half before I turned 25, the brother, my love died in a car accident. I didn't get to attend any of his services and my spirit was hurt. I expected to return at the tender age of 25 and become a wife. I love him so much and I can't get him out of my system.
I now have a daughter, she will be one on the 24th of this month. She was conceived in Mozambique and one of my elders thinks that she is my ex-boyfriend reincarnated. She was conceived a month and a half after his death with a man I cherished only as a wonderful friend, not my soul mate or life partner. Today we remain great friends.
However, I want to marry, but I feel that maybe my soul mate has made his transition.

What energies do you feel from this? Please feel free to share.

Peace and Much Respect,
LIFE
