The ONE true LOVE
I have come to learn one thing over this year, just watching my friends. I am so glad to say that all these women i know are breaking free and I am so proud of them.
I do not know how this works for men ... or maybe they have never had this battle before but I have seen true love this year, and as much as we have been brought up to believe that it is found in Prince charming or SRK like fairy tales I found it in the least expected place this year. I saw it in the eyes of these women I want to tell you about. IN case this becomes non private. I have altered their names.

This is one of the most PIG headed girls I have known in my life. She NEVER listens and if she has decided to do something nothing in the world can stop her! Somewhere around last year she got an itch ... this discomfort with life, it caused her to throw tantrums ... it caused her to retaliate, it caused her to practically shut down. And those of us who were close to her began to feel like blank targets. Honestly i was even afraid to approach her.
I have always told her that I would back her up as long as she knew what she was doing. However somewhere down the road I began to think she did not know what she wanted. Something in her seemed to be pushing her out of her environment. It was like the Universe was pushing her to get out... to get the courage to MOVE on! She fought back... being the fighter she was... mostly i think because of non familiarity, fear to take that next step with no backup.
But her sheer determination had propelled her to not stop dreaming despite lack of support. Her only support Swami.He never gave up on her or she him ... She just kept on moving. And one day ... the Universe was successful! It drove her up the wall and Kicked her off it. She found herself with no choice but to quit her job and pursue her dreams! Now I am so proud to say She is totally in love with what she does and money is merely a by-product of that happiness! Good on you my darling IM AM SO PROUD OF YOU !

I know this really talented globe trotting chick who although had a very high flying job had always been someone who looked like she was lacking something ... an being in the marriageable age.. or even a wee bit pass it, we all thought it was the significant other. I wonder why people call it the significant other??
She was almost like betty in the serial. Her boss could not live without her. It was her at every beck and call. It was her for every opinion. Yet she was not happy. He of course compensated her well, iPads and iPhones and the latest gadgets and bonuses. But he also would sometimes not give her the recognition or respect due. THis did not come only rom her boss but from people in the office as well. Again the universe realised that this is not the environment she should be in.
She talked about leaving constantly ... started looking out for jobs. Nothing materialized. One day, while she was abroad... the Universe gave her a kick in the Behind .. in the form of an uncalled for outrage from her boss. She decided @#$% it and threw in her resignation letter. No job offers no next steps.
Guess what ! the Universe took over. Job offers came pouring in from places she had no clues about ... better salaries.. better perks. And she has never been happier.Talks of "finding the right man" did not exist because she had begun to Love herself. She is jet-setting now. She flies off tomorrow to a new beginning. U are an inspiration gal. U will be awesome.

If this woman was born in a different environment, she would be a CEO of a company. When i first met her I would be very honest to say I had an impression of a housewife giving in to the eat meet brood and breed lifestyle. But the more i got to know her I hit myself on my head thinking what an awesome woman she is.
See unlike my friend from around here, this amazing woman was married young.. ot so young but younger than most of my friends. Because of her lovely child and husband she did the"right " thing and left her job. Sacrifice they say ... is all family life is about. I don't know how she felt and what her emotions were, and I am in no way judging stay at home mums.. that is a full time job on its own and i salute each and every woman who has the courage,energy, patience and Love to do that. I dont know if i could ever. But what i noticed about her was She knew she had more to give. She looked like a party popper. U know the kind.. all the colors inside and all you needed to do was to pop a string and they shoot out in an explosion of happiness and joy ... bringing joy to everyone around them too.
Her challenge was the balance. Family and self satisfaction. She had always been a dutiful wife and mother and contained self achievement for family... I had admired her for that, but it hurt to see her not using her full potential. This year she took things in her hand. Again the universe pushed her out of her comfort zone. She started a home business in an area she was extremely good at. She had found the perfect balance, and with that her self worth grew. The love for herself increased and it was so apparent. To me she was a rose in bloom and She looked so radiant.
She thought me that the Balance was possible. That you do not have to give up one to achieve another. And she also made me realise that marriage will not make me happy if I do not love myself no love of anyone would be enough.
I love U darling... ur stronger than U yourself know and weather you know it or not you are the strength of everyone else around you
Looking at these 3 amazing women who are not part of stories you hear , but who are your everyday women in my everyday life, made me realize one thing. It might be very cliche. but honestly i have never met some many women in these new found eyes that inspire me everyday and make me feel thankful that i have the life that I have. They make me realize thru their lives that the more i Love me the more Love i get. To you who thought me to love myself... I love you and all i want for you is that you love yourself too.
