A Luv Story Born from the Ashes of Dark Times

A mutual friend brought us together.
She helped us both crawl out of some very dark times.
We had an instant connection.
We even drove the same kind of car.

We quickly realized that we both have an interesting sense of humor.
Often times we are the only ones laughing in the room
because others don’t share the same type of humor in things.
We are both very young at heart,
but we tend to have a good balance between adulthood and our playfulness.

We like each other for who we are, with no plans to change the other one.
We’ve even come to appreciate each other’s little quirks.
We have so much in common and complement each other very well.
Being together has always been easy, we’ve never had to really try to get along.
We can talk for hours and hours.

We’ve been through several things
(Selling a house, buying a house, combining families, and a couple of injuries)
that could potentially tear people apart, yet somehow,
we came out on the upside of it all.
We did have our moments,
but we always turned to each other during those times.

We even went through a separation,
however found ourselves and figured out what we really wanted in life
individually and together.
We are both very independent people,
but navigating life together is much better, and much more fun.

We both have demanding, challenging, yet great careers.
But we do such a good job of supporting each other.
Neither one of us has a problem playing Mr. Mom
when the other has a deadline to meet.
We support each other in an effort to remain successful.

We love to travel and look forward to doing much more of that in the future
with and without the kids.
We are both adventurous and like to try new things.
It doesn’t take much to convince the other one to try something new.
We hope to continue to be active and explore new places.

Going forward,
we hope to continue encouraging each other to be the best we can be
and accept each other for who we are.
We’ve seen so many examples confirming that
the universe has brought us together for a reason,
and it’s our hope that we can always remember that
in good and hard times in the future.

A Luv Story Blessing Born from the Ashes of Dark Times

Like the phoenix
that arises from the dark ashes of past turmoil …
An instant connection is realized when a couple’s Awareness
is Tuned into the sacred synchronicities that are… ‘the flow of life’.
And
it’s cool ya all roll with the same kind of car…
That should make buying new cars later on easy…
Ya both get what ya want.
Like it should be in a good relationship.

Material needs are necessary in life,
But the realization of fulfilling each other’s ‘Being’ needs,
Feels like a completion of our Spirit that allows us to relax into …
the cradle of each other’s Unconditional Love.

As spiritual Beings,
we are Always Already Alright fulfilled and complete…
Finding each other is like joining the flow of two rivers,
They integrate seamlessly and cause no turmoil.
May your Flow be forever Harmonious… for it is … ‘the Way’

Good Humor is the medicine of Life…
and less fattening than the ice cream
😉
Balance is the key of life… the Yen & Yang of equanimity…
From your Luv story… “Mature… yet Playful” …
There is Divinity within this Balance.

Interesting thing about those folks that are Spiritually considered
Fully ‘Enlightened’… Is that when they meet,
they seem so overjoyed with playfulness and humor.
Everything thing is funny and the experience of
the perfection with everything that ‘is’…
Creates the sense of Bliss in the ever-present moment.
Experience this together and
Eternal Marital Bliss is Realized.

Life if full of unavoidable challenges… When they overwhelm us,
we tend to lose our ‘center’… our sense of
‘who we feel comfortable with as our core Being.’
We get confused and need to ‘find our center’ again.

If you find yourself in this challenge…
When you love someone – Let them go,
as you did… since you have already let go of one’s own “self” …
Lost in the drama of life…

With “self” reflection
the confusion was clarified. Clarity in one’s perspectives …
Transcended to the realization of True Love that is inseparable from
the Natural Flow of the Universe, both Material and Spiritual …
as it was meant to Be.

You are Blessed with having the awareness of each other’s
~ ‘Flow’ ~
The insights and perspectives that resonate from the Ground of our Being.
Abide in each other’s ‘Flow’ … forevermore…
And know,
That all the challenges that will eventually arise…
Let them…
For they cannot affect the connection to your True Love.
Now that you have realized this ‘True Love’,
it feels like ‘we’ve experienced this before’…
it’s because,
the True Nature of our ‘Being’ is Love.
A Pure One-ness with all that there is ‘Is’…
A love that is never born with this body, nor dies with it…
We don’t find True Love,
We simply Transcend the veils that blind our perception of what is
Always Already Alright… and right there… in our ‘center’.

Awareness of our True Nature is all that was required to unlock the door
that Liberates us from the unnecessary pain and suffering that
materialistic challenges tend burden others not so ‘Realized’.
You are Blessed with this Grace…
As it was meant to Be.

The Start of 2020

Our business was doing great, but we still couldn’t afford to buy a house or a condo. Renting in Maui for another 30 years was not an option we wanted to take. Then, Bobbie Jo suggested we buy a sailboat that is comfortable to cruise and live in. By the end of January, we started looking for our new home.

After a long search, we found our dream boat in Mazatlan, Mexico. COVID-19 was not yet a concern when our boat hunt began, but masks were starting to appear at airports by the time we flew to Mazatlan. Originally, we had planned to get the boat ready as fast as possible to cover a full calendar for the busy wedding season. However, it was apparent our business was going to tank amid the pandemic, and the struggle went on until the end of the year.

Luckily, we scored an awesome condo for only $19 a day at Mazatlan. On the 10th day of our stay, we received the news that all harbors will be closed the next Monday morning. We thought we’d be stuck in Mexico longer, but another sailor advised us to leave before sunrise.

We felt the adrenalin of escaping the Mexican harbor master just before the sun rose that faithful day. The seas were rough as waves were building up in the tight channel that led us to the open ocean. We ended up anchored off an adorable little isle just a mile offshore. We enjoyed cruising to many spectacular anchorages and cute villages on our way to Puerto Vallarta, where we would depart for Maui on May 7. On May 30, 2020, we completed our 24-day passage from Mexico to Maui.
