This blog is about heartbreak. Everyone has had at least one broken heart in their life if they’ve been lucky enough to love deeply. I’ve certainly had mine.

Here’s a story I’d like to share with you:

A few years ago, I went through a painful breakup. We really loved each other, were attracted to each other in many ways, had a ton of fun, traveled together, and developed a good friendship to boot. After having dated for over two years, I initiated the “relationship” conversation. Uh oh – you probably guessed it. He said he wanted to keep things as they were and didn’t want more commitment, and I thought I did.

Three months after that initial talk, we had what I have termed “The One Minute Break Up”. It literally took only 60 seconds to end the relationship. I was surprised and hurt. It happened so quickly, it took me awhile to realize we broke up! If I’m truly honest, I had expectations for something more and my emotions got in the way. I felt rejected and not wanted. The truth is, at the time, I couldn’t accept that we wanted different things.

Looking back, even though the way it ended wasn’t ideal, it was a blessing in disguise. I realized I wasn’t getting what I needed from the relationship. For the first time in my life, I put myself first and asked “What do I really want?” I started to reclaim myself and began making choices based on what brings me greater joy and freedom. Through the process, Woman UnRuled came to life. I am forever grateful. The phoenix always rises!

What I know for sure is that the next man I attract will be very different from the last — because I’ve changed and am a different woman. If you are suffering from heartbreak, don’t forget that things in life do happen for a reason, and always work out for the best.
