		<description>Thanks, Rex!  I am sure working on it... but it seems to be easier said than done.  But I WILL keep trying!  :)</description>

		<description>Hey Tula, wow... this is deep.  This certainly is my &quot;forte&#039;&quot;, but I will say that I believe that any scars that have remained due to past experiences CAN be healed if you set your purpose on making that happen.  Great post!

		<description>Shawna, thanks for reading and for your comment!!

I guess I should have anticipated being asked about that relationship 19 years ago in more detail.

I guess if more people really want to know what happened, I will be happy to share....</description>

		<description>Hi Tula!

Another wonderful post as usual!!

I have been lucky enough to have loved more than once in my life; however, I have yet, obviously, to find that one true love that will last forever.  It will come to me in time when I am able to allow it to present itself.

So, what happened to that relationship 19 years ago?  Maybe it&#039;s possible to get it back again?

Kepp &#039;em comin&#039; Tula!

Your friend,
Shawna</description>

		<description>Alice, thank you so much for coming by and your great comment!  Yes... sometimes the spark is a good one and sometimes the spark is a bad one.  But I don&#039;t know that you can tell that just from the spark itself.  I think in order to know, you have to trust in the spark and allow the relationship to go through some time and care.  So perhaps some people don&#039;t want to put the effort in?  Not sure.  But I do know that the long lasting, stable relationships of people I have encountered are ones that have lasted because of efforts of both people involved.  So if someone is not willing to put some effort into exploring the initial spark, is it someone you should even bother with?  I guess not.</description>

		<description>Tula, I agree with what you said about love starting with a spark. For me it definitely does(did). And sometimes that spark must be nurtured. And sometimes, later, the fire becomes something bad. But not every time. Sometimes the spark is very very good. Perhaps a once in a lifetime good. So good that you&#039;d better pay attention or else you&#039;ll miss out on your &quot;raison d&#039;etre&quot; So which spark is a good spark? How can you tell? I remember wondering &quot;Is this too good to be true? Should I go for this or is it too dangerous?&quot; And the answer is trust. You touched on this at the very end of your blog &quot;trust in the spark&quot; It&#039;s all you can do. Trust that love is not only good but its the most important thing. Go for it...you deserve it.</description>
