Ingredients needed<\/p>\n
Anchor (staying power)<\/p>\n
Eraser (forgiveness)<\/p>\n
Yoga instructor (maintaining flexibility)<\/p>\n
Prayer shawl (you will pray,\u00a0 a lot)<\/p>\n
Writing time (makes all the rest work better)<\/p>\n
The main ingredient for this recipe is the anchor,\u00a0 the staying power.\u00a0 It must be added at each stage of the recipe.\u00a0 If not the others will not work as well.<\/p>\n
The eraser will be used as needed.\u00a0 Erase any unwanted additives that come along and give a bitter taste.<\/p>\n
Your yoga instructor should be utilized often.. you have to remain flexible and able to handle situations that arise.\u00a0 If you are not your anchor will not hold and the eraser will fall behind the sofa and you won’t be able to reach it.<\/p>\n
Keep your prayer shawl handy for quick additions when it seems that nothing is working as it should.\u00a0 Pray.\u00a0 Prayer works in every situation.<\/p>\n
And then make time to write. It brings all the other ingredients together and makes them work. \u00a0\u00a0 It will remind you life can be edited.\u00a0 Grab the eraser and edit.\u00a0 It will also remind you that you are not perfect and make you much more flexible with someone else’s short comings.\u00a0 It will also make you practice prayer,\u00a0 because there will always be that one line that will not come when you want it.\u00a0 It will also anchor you to the world around you and in you and you will feel safe enough to stay.<\/p>\n
When all of these things are working together.\u00a0 You can stay married and it will be a beautiful journey.<\/p>\n
