Hey did you see the picture of my wife Gwen on our website www.intentionalprosperity.com ?

Does she make me look good or what!

We’ve just completed our 8th year together a few weeks ago. It doesn’t seem that long ago that I was a single man in his late 40’s looking for true love. Then one day I was introduced to Gwen. I felt safe with her. Strange thing for a man to say? I don’t think so.

Three and a half years before I met her I had gone through a divorce after almost 23 years of marriage. By the time I met Gwen I knew exactly what I was looking for: A pure heart.

I was trying to explain this to a male friend of mine who is going through a recent break up. I told him that when he looks at a woman with his heart instead of his eyes, he will become blinded by real beauty.

The only way you can “see” this way is from your own heart. Not your ego, intellect, emotions or your five senses.

You must unwrap the layers of protection you have surrounded your heart with and become completely vulnerable. This will make you sensitive to the person who has also made their heart open and vulnerable. You will recognize each other. You will feel safe with each other… and you will experience true love with each other.

In order to unwrap your heart, you must begin to deeply and completely love and accept yourself.

This is not easy. It may be the hardest thing you ever do…but it is the most important thing you will accomplish during your lifetime.

For only through the journey you take which opens the doorway to your heart, will your light become the beacon which draws to you, the one you seek. Her light will also open your eyes as you recognize yourself in her… and she and you will know each other. Because it has only been the illusion of time which has temporarily kept her from your view. Time you have used wisely to become a better man.
