Love is not a destination.  It is a journey that people agree to take together, and a person also takes with themselves.  April is a wonderful month for me.  My wedding anniversary and Bettsy’s birthday a week apart.  It has become a little holiday season for both of us.  What have I learned about Love in this journey?  Every chapter has presented a new mission, a new call.  There have been many junctures, even in this Iyaworaje where the challenge was not easy.  We could have been stuck in shoulds and woulds - but Bettsy always listens to my places of insecurities and brings the real fire in her spirit.  That has always been both of us.  I have been the air/water and she has been the fire.  Libra and Aries.  From her I always learn how to not give up, how to be affirmed in myself and in love.  She may not know how she teaches me these things when she also feels her flaws or insecurities, but it’s in her expressing her humanity that I am always so inspired.

 

Betts loves fiercely.  Sometimes the odds are placed against us and still she finds a way to make it work.  Even when she is tired or thinks she has no reserves, she finds the next spark to fire it up.  

 

My Love - you may have a lot of feelings about this year, the challenges and the meanings but know that I am next to you loving all you are and everything you bring. Thank you for bringing my Birthday Princess every year since we have come together. Always up for our adventures and our discoveries together.  Every step of this journey you restore my faith.  Happy Birthday my Heart.

It would be easy to sink into the worse of the world but instead I turned to what is most divine in me.  Oshun.  Mother of Love.  Love of Olofi’s heart.  I have meditate in my Mother all morning, and in the way Chango helps me manifest what is in my crown.  Where love lives, trauma and hate can not win.  

 

It is wonderful to know this is our individual and collective super power - and this will be our theme for this Valentine’s Day.  

 

This winter has been frigid, and people surrounding me do not always have the best intentions.  But where love lives - cruelty does not win.  I choose love today.  I chose love for my entire life when I was crowned Oshun.  I chose love as the ruler of my life.  

 

My religion is a closed practice, but the meaning of Orisha is for all followers.  It is for anyone who wishes to respect their energies: Lightning/Passion, Storm/Change/Courage, Rivers/Love/Life, Ocean/Earth Life/Life Pulses, Mountains/White Clouds/Peace, Forest/Animals/Focus, Steel/Strength/Justice/Progress, Crossroads/Doorways/Destinies.

Whatever ails you deep down, I hope you can be in your personal devotional no matter what you believe in.  No matter if you believe in God or Not.  Take in the present and now you are a miracle.  Where you are alive and in gratitude - Love wins.

 Today I dedicate my writing to my marriage.  The one that brings me warmth, happiness and love.  The one brought to me by Spirit after so much shadow work in 2018.  Bettsy came to me then in all her fiery realness, ready to show me what real love was.  What I had manifested from the inside out.  It turns out three months before we met she had manifested too and she had written it out on a Facebook post declaring she was ready to meet me.

Three years, and I feel as our foundation is so solid - nothing that shakes us will make it topple.  (sorry for the shaking metaphors, this was written in the middle of an earthquake aftermath)  -- but it is true.  How much have we invested in our marriage, time, growth, learning from our therapist and coach to find our communication style.  Facing past baggage that we were bringing in without knowing.  My wife who makes me stand up solid.  And on this day quite literally as I was still recovering from a fractured ankle - but she was there to hold me up.  We are still holding each other up --through all events of life, via new stages, making new promises and agreements.  Always searching for the healthiest fit.  

If I can open myself up like a book and let all my blessings in is because of a lot of lessons of trust and truth

Lets keep holding each other up my beloved wife.  The water never lies when it blessed us.  And it continues to hold us up in this protection we call love.
