Greetings From Relationship Paradise Island!
Relationship Paradise Island | 3.13.24
Story time…
My Tantra partner and I went to a concert a couple of weeks ago. We were having fun dancing and he was holding me most of the time… let’s call it “dance snuggling.” In any case, there was a woman dancing with a rainbow-colored fan… and she fanned on by us a couple of times.
On her second pass by, she told us we were “beautiful” and she expressed that we were “aspirational.” It seemed she aspired to have a relationship like ours… and that she thought others could see our radiant love, and admired it as well. (We received TWO expressions like hers from strangers that night.)
It got me thinking that I want to explain how this happens, how one finds oneself on what my partner and I refer to as Relationship Paradise Island.
Relationship Paradise Island isn’t a place where there aren’t hard conversations, it’s a place where hard conversations can be had. It’s a place where folx can be vulnerable. It’s not a place of “no fear,” but it’s a place where one can face their fears, knowing that all shall be well. When you finally make it to Relationship Paradise Island, you are ready for something DEEP.
We all have karma around relationships. Imagine that your own personal relationship karma is the water between the shore you’re currently on, and Relationship Paradise Island in the distance…
Some people have the situation where they can cross that water easily. It’s like the Universe gave them a private jet or God gave them a beautiful cruise ship. They get to cross the water with what seems like no effort at all. (Good for them.)
Others of us are in for a cold water swim for years, while being circled by sharks. (Eeek!)
Maybe you’re sorta lucky and you’re at least in a row boat, and you can even see the island in the distance, but you just know it’s going to take years of rowing. (Ugh. Just keep rowing.)
I didn’t get to Relationship Paradise Island overnight. I studied Buddhism for decades, learned through many many relationships, went to therapy, experienced extensive coaching around love and relationships, explored plant medicine… and more. And, around the ripe old age of 45, I found myself tied up at the dock on Relationship Paradise Island…
A place for people who have done the personal work necessary and are ready to experience the value of engaging in deep, meaningful relationships — even knowing that landing here also means continued growth and evolution in love.
It’s my great hope that my partner and I can continue to be a beacon light for others who are on their way to Relationship Paradise Island. It’s beautiful here. And we hope you’ll join us!
