Resentful Towards Love This Valentine’s Day? Read This!

Many years ago, during a season of my life where I was in the midst of healing from my divorce, I was managing a restaurant in Denver, CO.

And I was put in charge of creating a Valentine’s Day event.

Picture this…

🖤A Black Hearts Ball 🖤

All black decorations.

The playlist was EDM music.

Bitter & Bubbly and Single for Life were the names of the themed cocktails.

There was a photo booth where you could take pictures with broken hearts on sticks.

Yep, you get the point.

This was ALL my idea. 😬

At that time in my life, I was really resentful towards love because I felt burned by it.

The story I was telling myself was, “I don’t need anyone. I’m good on my own. Love can’t be trusted.”

I was bouncing from one situationship to the next, tolerating crumbs and chaos.

This Black Hearts Ball was a literal and physical representation of what my inner beliefs and feelings towards love were at the time.

I’m grateful to say that my journey towards healing my relationship to love started soon after this.

As I reflect on this event in contrast to the workshops I hold today on how to heal from your past and attract a healthy love…

I can have a bit of a giggle.

But it took real, consistent work to get to this point – where I can laugh at my past self and also hold tons of compassion for her.

What I found worked for me, is exactly what I pursued to learn about in depth so that I could teach other women how to heal, too.

Love CAN be safe, fulfilling and sweet.

It starts with shifting our internal beliefs.

Your experience with love gets to be whatever YOU decide it is.

Wishing you a sweet Valentine’s Day – whether you are single, dating or in a relationship.
