Looking For Love in
All the Wrong Places

“Love is a fruit in season at all times, and within reach of every hand”
-Mother Teresa
What if I told you that true love existed for all of us right now? In this moment the love we seek is right there ripe to be picked. What stops most of us from enjoying the fruit is how little we know about the tree. There is that tree that we pass on our way to work, to the grocery store, every day, maybe even two or three times a day if not more. We never even really notice it. It may possess the most beautiful blooms; it may change colors with the seasons and contains the most glorious fruit all year long. The truth is we fail to see it. Now if we had purchased the tree, chose it based on what it looked like, our expectation of how it would fit in our garden, paid for it and planted it, how it behaved and produced would be a constant source of our attention. We would be waiting for the tree to fill our expectation of how it would look, how fast it would grow, and what kind of fruit it would bear. We often miss the tree that can provide us beauty, and fruit as we pass it every day without even noticing it.
Most of us have a very concrete picture of what love looks like, as if we are going to go to a store and purchase it. We have a list of who the person should be, what they will look like, how they will make us feel, as if love can be controlled that way. We create an illusion for our selves; if we can check off all the things on the list, then that is love. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but that is not love. It is a lot of things but not, love. Often times our list of things that we are looking for in someone is based on our history, fear, the incomplete parts of ourselves with a little societal expectation thrown in for good measure. We have the idea that this list will lead us to the person that will complete us, fulfill us and make us happy. It does not. It often times leads us to the person who after the initial attraction wears off, has very little if nothing to offer us.
The list often times has us turn our attention away from people who do not meet our criteria. My favorite example of this was a client of mine; she had been dating a lot and was interested in marriage. She was talking with me about three dates she had gone on that week. Two of the gentlemen she was planning to go out with again, they had both met all of the requirements on her list. The third gentleman, she told me, there was no way she would see again. I knew that this man was her Soul Mate. When I explored with her the reasons that she was uninterested in him, it came down to four things that did not meet the requirements of her list; she was not attracted to him, he was not from the U.S., she did not like the way he dressed, and she felt they did not have a lot in common. So I asked her to please see him three more times, then after that I would drop it. Hesitantly she agreed. To make a long story short, they were married in Italy five years ago and are very happy together.
We spend a lot of time focusing on our lack of love, trying to control how it will look and behave when it shows up. We spend our time trying to make sure we will find it ,in the form of the “perfect person” So much of our time is spent in the pursuit of love, we often miss love, like we miss that tree. Well, what if we were to stop? What would happen if we were to begin to become observant of what and who surrounded us? Would we notice that tree, see it, appreciate it, eat the fruit that it so generously offered us? Or would we allow our expectations to cloud our vision.
To see love more clearly:
· Find something to love in everyone. Every person we meet has something that is worthy of love. I think we often times loose sight of the fact that each and every person on this earth is a one of a kind being. There are no two of us alike.
· Free love! Be willing to let go of your expectations of love. It will never be what we dream it to be it. If we are willing to let go of our expectation of love it does have the ability to exceed our dreams.
· Stop looking for it. Start to be willing to see where love already exists.
· Be willing to call a spade a spade. Attraction is not necessarily an introduction to love. Physical compatibility is just that, physical compatibility.
· Accept love in whatever form it takes. Just because it does not look how we thought it would is not a reason to reject it. It is showing up in whatever form it does, because that is how we are meant to experience it.
· Love takes time to grow, like a tree. If love is allowed to grow it’s fruit is ripe all season.
Love is always there. Our ability to have it goes along with our readiness to see it. Love asks of us to let go of our expectations, and preconceived notions of it and what we need from it. It asks us to let go of the idea of perfection and our lists. It asks to be in the truth of it. If we do not have it, it is because we do not see it. We do not see the person clearly, what they bring us, who they help us to become. Free Love!

Erika Morrell
Soul Intuitive
& Medium
|
 |
Erika Morrell, Soul Mate Medium™ has her heritage to thank for her many gifts.
The Great Granddaughter of Carmella Colchie of Italy known for her ability to prevent and heal Malocchio ( known as the evil eye) and the Currie family known in the Highlands of Scotland as the possessors of the “Currie Coin”. When drinking the water that had been mixed with this coin it had the ability to heal all disease.
With the psychic ability to read minds, predict future events, have prophetic dreams, and speak to Angels; Erika was showing evidence of that deeply spiritual heritage at the ripe old age of three.
Dedicating most of her life to learning as many modalities and traditions of healing as she could, Erika started her very successful privet healing practice in her home town of New York City in 1991.
Working with everyone from students to celebrities to members of the Royal Family, she quickly became one of the most sought after healers in the industry. Erika was known for her eclectic blend of techniques, down to earth approaches and practical applications of complex spiritual principles.
Erika’s special talent was supporting people in finding love, and not just love, but their true Soul Mates. She started to observe an alarming trend; client after client was on the verge of missing their Soul Mate, not by means of a break-up, but by the lack of recognition that their Soul Mate was staring them RIGHT IN THE FACE and they failed to recognize them.
Erika supports people in transcending desire, fantasy and expectation to attain themselves and a true Soul Mate love. She has supported 38 people in finding wedded bliss and countless others in finding the relationship of their hearts, earning her the title Soul Mate Medium™ Enlightener of Love.™
