Author: Lauri Ann LumbyPublisher: CreateSpace Independent Publishing PlatformPaperback:ISBN 10: 1539651401ISBN 13: 978-1539651406You Complete ME????? Happily Ever After – the Transformational Journey from “You Complete Me” to Beloved Partnership presents a new model for intimate partnership along with the process for getting there. Happily Ever After recognizes that as long as we are looking outside of ourselves for completion our relationships are doomed to fail – supporting the belief that the healthy, fulfilling and enduring love we all long for is built upon the foundation of two individuals who are complete within themselves and who have chosen to come together as equals in mutual love and support. Interdependence, rather than co-dependency is the goal of this book and the outcome of this process. Through personal narrative, informative dialogue, poetry, mindfulness practices, and creativity exercises; you will be invited to deconstruct existing and former patterns of co-dependency while building the foundation upon which you can find happiness and fulfillment within while preparing for the possibility of healthy interdependency with another – what is here called beloved partnership. Once you are complete within yourself, you will settle for nothing less.
