Thank you, Donnette! You are exactly right: it is a deep inner knowing, and it can take a big leap of faith to hold space for the kind of love relationship we haven't yet experienced but that our soul is…

Thank you for reading, Chrissie! I'm so glad my story was helpful to you. I agree with you - the "too picky" messages are so unhelpful. I'm so glad that you aren't taking those in! It's OK to be choosy…
