I want to let you in on a little secret.  Most of us aren't looking for goddess worshippers ( though it does look good on the resume ) so much as a strong man ~ or woman ~ to walk by our side.
One who is not afraid to walk their own path alongside ours with a wide open heart, clear eyes, and vibrant nature.
We want to feel seen, accepted for all of who 'we' are, not your projection of who you would like us to be.. and we want to return the favor and know it will be received.  Tis a powerful thing to see and feel seen.  To know that you can hold and also be held.
Therein ( I think ) lies the foundation of trust in all relationships.
