Last night was rough. We dropped my older son off at Church and I watched him leave on a big white bus without me – for a week!
Now, I know that there are millions of parents out there doing the same thing this summer. And I know he’ll have fun. And I know that it’s normal to miss him.
Knowing all of that simply didn’t lessen the pain and sadness of missing him last night. It also didn’t lessen the fear I felt.
See, the truth is that, aside from missing him, I’m afraid.
My son has Asperger’s Syndrome – a mild form of autism that affects his social skills – so it takes a lot of courage and faith for me to be able to let go and trust that he will be okay when I’m not there at his side.I’m afraid of not being there with him while he’s thousands of miles away. I don’t like knowing that I won’t be there to protect and reassure him if something goes wrong or he makes a mistake. I won’t be there to buy him something I may have forgotten to pack. I won’t be there if he needs or misses me.So, I cried myself to sleep last night, and I prayed a lot.
As I prayed, I reminded myself that I trust myself enough to know that I made a good choice in letting him go on the trip.
I reminded myself to trust the leaders who reassured me time and again that they would be looking out for him, would make sure he’s okay, and would keep me posted as to how he’s doing.
I reminded myself that this kid is extraordinary and never ceases to amaze me in how he does not let autism stop him – ever!
His courage and willingness to try and move beyond his fears inspire me every day to trust myself and break through my own fears!
I reminded myself that I want my son to have these experiences because I want him to learn to trust himself, too. I want him to see that he is able to get through difficult times, that he’s capable of solving problems and making good choices, and that he can have fun, even if everything does not go exactly according to plan.
So, in the end, I chose to trust!
So, what about you?
Where are you not trusting yourself or others?
Where are you allowing your fears to stop you and get in the way of experiencing the love and happiness you want and deserve?
Where are you not letting go and allowing yourself to take a risk when it comes to love?
I want to invite you to trust yourself. You may have made mistakes before, and maybe you made some choices that didn’t turn out exactly the way you thought they would, but you can learn to trust yourself again.

You don’t have that special someone with whom to share it.
As successful as you feel in other areas of your life, you just can’t seem to figure out why you can’t attract the right man into your life. Maybe you have no problem getting dates, but they just don’t end up going past the first or second date.
Maybe it’s been months or years since your last long-term relationship and you just haven’t found someone you really feel connected to.
Perhaps it’s just beginning to feel like this “relationship thing” just isn’t for you.
If you find yourself relating to any of these situations, we’ve got some great news for you.
First of all, there’s nothing broken or wrong with you, so you can stop trying to fix yourself!
The reason you’re not having the success you want in love is that there are barriers blocking you from attracting the right man.
And, because many of these barriers are “invisible” to you, it looks like online dating not working, guys not wanting to commit, and you being “cursed” with attracting emotionally unavailable guys!
Just like you’re unable to avoid a car that’s in your blind spot, it’s impossible for you to break through a love barrier you can’t see.
If you’re ready to stop suffering and start loving, join Michelle and me for a new teleclass we’ve created especially for you called, “Breaking Through Your Love Barriers to Attract the Love You Want!”
In this teleclass you will learn:
How to uncover your Love Barriers – those “invisible” emotional and behavioral patterns that are blocking you from attracting the right man into your life and experiencing the kind of love you really want
The practical steps you can take to break through these barriers, feel more confident in dating, trust your intuition to guide you to choose the man who will love and treat you the way you desire and deserve
The keys to attracting the right kind of man so that you can have more fun in dating and experience happiness and LOVE in your relationship
Seeing what’s in your blind spot can help you avoid a car accident.
Getting clear on what your love barriers are can help you avoid heartache so that you can start having more fun while dating, begin attracting men you are attracted to, and be in the kind of relationship your heart desires!
Join us for this FREE teleclass on Tuesday, June 9th and get ready for a love breakthrough!
It’s time to break through your barriers and experience the love you want!
Your happiness is your responsibility. If you’ve been feeling disappointed and frustrated with your experience of dating and relationships, it’s time to make a change! Join us and take the first step toward attracting the love you’ve been longing for! << Click here now>>
Here’s our response to another great question we received after our amazing Transformational Tuesday interview with Deborah Deras! This one was sent to us by a single mother who wanted to know what she could do to start dating again.
Single, but not a single mother? There are some tips in here that will help you on your journey, as well!
Not single or a single mother, but know someone who is? Show her how much you care about and want her to have extraordinary love in her life by sharing this video with her!
Being a single mother can be lonely and scary. Those of us who have children know how challenging it can be at times to remember that you’re a woman, aside from being a mother, and that you have the desire to love and be loved beyond the love you give and receive from your children. You want that romantic, passionate love that you’ve always dreamed of.
It can be scary and difficult to open yourself up to the idea of loving again, even without children. However, being a single mother means also managing childcare, having time for yourself, and learning to date again!
In this video, I share the first steps a single mother must take to get ready to date and love again! In Part 2, Michelle will share the steps to take once you actually begin dating again!

We believe you deserve to have all of the love and happiness your heart desires!

This week is a special one in the Heart’s Desire family! Michelle & Arnie celebrated their 4th Wedding Anniversary!
If you see Michelle and Arnie together today, what you’ll witness is true and pure love. They have one of those relationships that just take your breath away and make you believe that dreams really can come true.
What you wouldn’t be able to see at first glance is that their story was very much like many of yours! See, there was a time when Michelle had given up on the idea that she would ever find the man who would help make her dreams come true.
After almost 13 years of a very difficult marriage, she found herself a young, single mother of two pre-teen boys. She had tried “the dating thing” and found that she kept having the same failed relationship – or pseudo-relationship, because they were only relationships in her mind – over and over again.
“I kept dating the same guy, with a different face, and in a different body, but the results were always the same: They were either unavailable, ‘getting separated,’ or had some type of drug or alcohol problem.”
It seems like, no matter what she tried to do, she just couldn’t get it “right.”
She began to lose hope on finding true love and wanted to give up.
Then something shifted.
Michelle’s coach told her something that would change her life forever.
He asked her, “What do all of those guys have in common?”
“They’re men!” she said.
“Besides, biology,” he said, “what’s the one thing they all have in common?”
She paused, not wanting to say it. “Me.”
The only thing every single one of those men and relationships and in common was her.
This is what started Michelle on the inner journey that has led to her experiencing the love of her dreams!
She began doing the inner work to distinguish, dismantle, and replace the fears, doubts and limiting beliefs that had been causing her to repeat dysfunctional and painful patterns so that she could open her heart to experiencing true love.
And, it was thanks to being courageous enough to be willing to do that work that on a Valentine’s Day 9 years ago Michelle went on her first date with Arnie, and began creating her own Lifetime Love Story!
Was it “easy” work? Not always?
Was it always “fun”? No.
But it was the willingness to stop complaining about how unhappy and frustrated she was and to begin transforming herself and her life that lead to her living her dream-come-true!
And allof the steps that she took, the changes that she made, and the inner work that she did are what we’ve included in our Ready to Love Againprogram!
See, as happy as Michelle is in her marriage and I am in mine, we believe with every bit of our hearts that it is every woman’s birthright to have the experience of loving and being lovedbeyond her wildest dreams every single day of her life.
