Exploring Partnerships (Dawn to Caroline)

Care, we talk so much about partnerships. What we want. What we need and why.

Lately, we have come to the topic of creating alone vs creating with others and how this is so powerful. I want to explore this idea further, I want to hear your thoughts and ideas.

The idea that we ever really create alone is sort of insane and a bit self absorbed in a way. We are rarely alone in our creations regardless of what they are, when they happen or who is around. The people around us always have influence in some way on our thoughts, idea's and creations. And are often a part of them.

I believe this is also so very true in partnerships. One person can not create a soulful, deep, loving connection on their own. Both need to be actively engaged, opening, sharing, communicating and being vulnerable in the most intimidating and genuine ways. We both have our own challenges with these things on different levels but know what we must do...right?!

On one side of it, we need to start first with loving and accepting ourselves as completely as we can. On the other side, we need to be creating an emotionally safe environment for our partner to be able to do the same. Simultaneously. The only choices we have are to trust, be vulnerable, face fears, and open ourselves. Thoughts?

It's a couple topics rolled into one here but you get where I'm going.
