When I moved to Boulder three years ago, I had no idea what was in store for me. Over those years, I have grown so incredibly much in many different areas. One of these is in the area of relationships. I have never had the depth in relationships that I have created with certain people over the past few years. In the past, I held myself unworthy and never thought that anyone could/would be able to hold the depth that I so longingly craved. There was a part of me that was not ready to really put myself out there and to find my own voice. It has been a roller coaster and I am still not where I want to be. However, my nights of crying in the bathtub scared of meeting people of like mind are over. While I still have bouts of anxiety, I have pushed my boundaries enough that hopefully it won’t be as hard next time.

An important thing that I have learned is how much I value my relationships with my girlfriends. There is a power with women getting together and talking about life. There is also a sense of belonging and a sacredness that cannot be created without the presence of women. The intimate relationships created between lovers are different. They are special, intimate, and beautiful. However, the spark is for different reasons and the understanding is on a different level. I am honored to have such powerful independent women as friends and for them I am grateful.
