When I first learned about the law of attraction, I felt excited about finding my soulmate. I made vision boards, kept my thoughts positive, and cleared limiting beliefs. I embraced being alone without feeling lonely. Most importantly, I learned to really love myself.
Suddenly I was surrounded by people who had happy relationships. I knew I had shifted my reality. There was a time when I did not believe that relationships could be truly enjoyable! The quality of men that I came into contact with had improved, too. I was meeting men who were kind, compassionate, smart, attractive – but unavailable. I didn’t feel any closer to finding MY happy relationship. I knew so much about the universal laws and had done so much inner work. I was really surprised and a little sad that this hadn’t worked out for me.
I meditated. Was there another belief I had failed to uncover? Was I subconsciously unavailable? The answer I got was a resounding NO. I felt urged to continue focusing on my inner transformation. Most of the time, I felt like being in nature, reading books or having time alone. I did just that. I wondered how I would ever meet someone, but I continued to trust and do what felt good to me.
Sometimes lightworkers are meant to go a part of the journey alone. Being unattached allows you to focus all of your energy on the inner work. It allows you to move at a faster pace through the ascension process. It spares you from re-harmonizing a relationship over and over again when you are shifting rapidly.
The higher mind supports us in achieving what we intended to do with this lifetime. I believe that my soul wanted me to reach a certain level of consciousness and that this expansion was a major part of the plan for my life. Once I achieved that my life plan opened up for partnership.
I met my soulmate, Chris, at the wedding of my best friend. An event that my soul knew I was very likely to attend. It turns out he had been going through a lot of inner transformation as well.
Two years later Chris and I had our own wedding! He was absolutely worth the wait. We both still continue to go through the ascension process in our own ways. But independently, we both achieved a stable core that keeps us in harmony no matter what shifts and changes we go through.
Now we create together and it is beautiful. And so was my time alone, and his time alone, when we were creating the versions of us that we are now today. That time alone paved the way for the beautiful relationship we now have. I look back and thank the “me” that invested in her growth, so that I could become who I am today.

Ah thank you for sharing this. You took my journey and put it to words. I just came out on the other side of an awakening and have done so much inner work this summer. So much alone time, well with my dog, in the mountains of Colorado. Trying to figure out my life and the love of myself. But I am there, almost <3
