Introduction

I’ve always been fine by myself. Ever since I was in second grade, I walked home from school, unlatched the door and started my homework in front of the television all by myself. Later in the grown-up working world, I was the same way. An island unto myself not needing help until finally someone pointed out that part of my aloneness was that I alienated myself. I barked orders at my team. I felt I had to do everything perfectly and I was always striving to reach the next position never satisfied with where I was.  I was too afraid to ask for help and even more afraid to look deeper at myself to say, “What do I really want?”

I’ve been on a 7 year journey, or as my lady (aka therapist) says “process” going deeper to see who I am at the heart of my being. In doing this, I discovered that I wanted to create partnership in my life. I do not want to go it alone. So, in my 36th, 37th and soon to be 38th year, I’m dating with a purpose. My purpose is to create a deeply nurturing relationship. And one that I know is created and defined by me, not for or by anyone else. Being able to take time out to discover my true needs and desires to set a clear path.

My path has been one of intention. Dating with a purpose to me means dating with intention… making conscious choices about what I want and what I don’t want. And even tougher being able to speak and act on those choices. I would like to share what I’ve learned on this journey. Some things people taught me, others I’ve seen for myself. I want to share a clear process and steps you can take to date with a purpose. 

I did. I am. And it’s bringing me closer to my intention. In the choice of creating this site, I’m committed to sharing the voice of my being – simple, heartfelt, clear – so that I can feel a connection to you. After you read a post, please join the blog and let me know what it means to you. Let’s create a conscious commitment of intention. We’ll create this together. 

Thanks, The Purpose Lady
