“Meet me in the middle of your story when the soul is worn but wise.”

Angie Weiland-Crosby

Soul love.

You already know you want a life filled with love — receiving, giving, breathing, feeling, and surrounded by it. But the “romantic love connections” you’ve found and experienced so far aren’t as satisfying as you’d like.

They haven’t filled you up.

They haven’t awakened your spirit or set your soul on fire.

They haven’t grown with you through the seasons of your life, challenged you to ponder greater things or unthinkable possibilities, or offered genuine, lasting happiness. Instead, they feel conditional — transactional, requiring you to act or be a certain way.

You scratch my back, and I’ll scratch yours.

A constant need to perform or be “good enough” to keep your partner satisfied. A love that has to be earned or strongly influenced by external factors, such as status, physical attraction, or material stability, and may fade or become turbulent if those conditions change.

A love based on fear.
