I do like to write with a bit of twist, so truly it is perfect for me to muse about with the angels. Love is a complicated thing that is made so as it is such an important part of the human experience. Learning to make it uncomplicated it truly the key and the kind of love many search for and yet few seem to truly find.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/media.beliefnet.com\/~\/media\/photos-with-attribution\/angels\/angel-clouds-statue-blue_credit-Shutterstock.jpg?as=1&amp;w=400\" alt=\"Angel in Sky\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I think the question I get asked most about in private sessions is relationships. &#8220;Will I find true Love?&#8221; and truly that is a difficult question to answer as love can mean so many things. I love my dogs as if they are my children. I have raised them in my own way and have treated them as the sentient beings that they are. I love them unconditionally and in return, I feel unconditional love right back. Where someone to do a reading on me just before one of these beautiful beings came into my life it would like much like that of the birth of a child and a significant life event for me. For my neighbour, this could be an entirely different experience as he does not have the same thoughts and feelings about pets that I do. (its all good, lol, he has 2 wonderful cats I adore.) The point we wish to make is that those relationships are going to be different, because we are different. So, will you find true love&#8230; that is truly entirely up to you.<\/p>\n<p>Not really the answer most were hoping to hear. Hence love, being such a complicated thing when we complicate it with the human process. This is however what many of us are here to understand as part of our mission for having a human life &#8211; Human relationships!<\/p>\n<p>We the humans are the ones that make it so complicated. We want it now, we want it faster, and we want it better. We seem to want a lot and so it seems we continue wanting.<\/p>\n<p>It is time the angels say for us to make it simple and just let it be. Accept the love you have right now for what it is. Tomorrow is never promised and has no guarantee. Allow love in your life, for even if it is just for a short time, it is glorious indeed! Keep it simple and allow it to evolve without conditions. Love doesn&#8217;t need to be a complicated thing&#8230; Make the choice and simply love, with all your heart, right now, all that Is.<\/p>\n<p>Tons of love, Sharon and the angels xoxox<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.playingwiththeuniverse.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">www.playingwiththeuniverse.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Read more at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/angelguidance\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/angelguidance<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I had planned an entirely different topic for today&#8217;s blog, but find that in a way it is still about unconditional love, just with a twist.
