I am going to agree with cadilacjax….abandonment? I believe, too, we stem from that when we look for love….and get let down…oh my heart breaks too every time i read a love story….thanks for sharing.

Thanks Kelly

Yes I am agreeing with you. Whether it be neglect or abandonment we have certain fears or whatnot when it comes to the reassurance part.

My site is kinda quirky, not really a niche site but personal. I so love to write/blog that you just never know what might pop up there next.. Thanks for the recommends! Greatly appreciated

Funny, Lee, that you should mention abandonment issues as me ol’ therapist and I discuss those often. I don’t suffer from abandonment as much as “lack of notice” issues from childhood which has me giving for the sake of being appreciated and noticed. I think these two issues (”knowing” God from waaaaaay back and childhood abandonment/emotional neglect) both impact our relationships but in subtly different ways. We are looking for transcendence in our romantic relationships bc of the first and tons of attention/reassurance bc of the second. Don’t you think?

Regardless, thanks for the visit! I’ve stopped by your site and recommend it to others!

Hugs,
K.

Well I don’t see that any hairy legged guys have commented on this so I’ll be the first. From one to another I have to say that “yes I’ve been kissed by God” and now I am cursed, have been every since.

Ok not really. Your post brings about valid suggestions for change that I think all of us who suffer from the ‘kiss’ should take note on. That it’s ok to feel how we are feeling and it’s ok to realize no one absolutely no one Loves us like God. Now don’t go getting cranky and crack on me, I’m not religous but I do believe in God and spirituality.

I would like to ask you tho, where do abandonment issues fall in to place with the feeling of lack of love, in your experience? Just curious.
Thanks for sharing

Patsy, yes, I’m not surprised that you “get it”. After all, it was you who first took me to Gethsemani! I am trying to build in some practice to keep this door open in myself as it was closed for so long. Still learning, still growing. Thank you, again, for being a faithful friend and reader from the early days…

Fantastic post and insight, Kelly! For me, it’s those moments of QUIET when I can get back in touch with that deep, unconditional love that sustains me through all the other tough things in life. Knowing that I’m never alone does give me courage and freedom.

Our hearts are restless….. that keeps me growing and reaching and striving to be the best I can be. And the universe…or God….or whatever…. surprises me in the midst of it all as a reminder of what really matters. And I think that our purpose is to remind each other of that deeper reality in the best way we can. So, you’ve done that in your great reflection — thanks!

Coming from someone I admire sooooo very much, this means a great deal. Thank you, Ronna.

So beautiful, Kelly. Your epiphany, your awareness, your telling, your writing, you. Such poignant, intimate, tender self-awareness.

God shows up in these moments, these honest revelations. Not in judgment, but in kindness and grace. Indeed, in a kiss.

Wow back Pam. I read this comment on my phone on the way home and started crying (again…seems that will be my thing for a bit). Those are powerful words to a writer. It feels good not to be alone. Thank you so much. I honestly don’t know what else to say.
