This is an excerpt from my book as titled above.
"Polygamy had been a topic of discussion between my parents and myself before. We had watched several documentaries about the subject and we all felt that it was an odd way to live. Why would someone want to share their spouse with other women? Why would one man want to have more than one companion at a time? How could one man possibly support a family of 36 people or more? There were many facets of this religion we did not understand. Yet I married a man who now wanted to get back into this group and live their lifestyle as well. And I CHOSE to move with my husband to live in this lifestyle as well. The difference with me is that I was not living AS one of them, rather I was living WITHIN their group. Sometimes love is blind. We think love will fix everything! The sad truth is that love does not fix everything. Sometimes we have to be logical about our choices. Other times we have to ask for help and guidance from God and our angels
This was a terrifying step I was taking, but I felt at the time it was what I needed to do. Perhaps to help this group of people see that we can all live together; perhaps to open my eyes to a different way of living. Whatever the reason, I knew my life was changing big time! I am glad I did not know how much it would change, because it would have made that decision harder to live with. I was always told I had a strong personality. I am very driven and can do anything I set my mind to doing. Though I am a very strong person, my soul was not prepared for the situation I was in. I struggled daily with the different choices I could have made. However, I had to see it through, at least for a while, as I promised my husband I would give it two years."
The choices we make are not always the wisest, but they certainly do have their lessons. Sometimes those lessons are simply to learn to trust our gut and do what it is telling us to do. If we go against our gut instinct and our intuition, then life will be harder for a while. The path we need to be on is sometimes the simplest path, with the simplest choices. Those choices can be right in front of us and be so clear. The path of least resistance can also be the most freeing and enlightening and the best thing for our souls development. Life is supposed to be easy, fun and joyful. If our lives are not this way, then it is time to ask ourselves where we went wrong, and how can we make it right. Sometimes we just need to make a change to set ourselves right again. If you are not that in tune with your gut instinct, then you may need to make a few changes to make things right again and to start moving forward.
Be easy on yourselves as you learn to listen to that little voice that is your soul. If you follow it, it will never steer you wrong. With practice, your intuition becomes stronger and your life becomes easier. We are supposed to be having fun and enjoying all the beauty this life on earth has to offer. This starts with the internal work first, by taking time to find your happiness simply for being alive. All else will become apparent to you when you pay attention. Start now to live from a place of love, not fear, and make the best life you can for yourself. Envision what your dreams are and watch them start to take shape. The more you put your attention to what you want and deserve, the sooner you will reach that goal and dream. Dream big and know you are a valued and loved being. We co-create the life we want and as long as we keep dreaming and moving forward, our Creator will make our dreams come true. Believe in yourself, see the best in others, and with love in your heart, go forth and create your best life.
