QUESTION

Dear Linda, I am looking for your help with a situation I find myself in. I am 52 and a few months ago I started dating again after a long term relationship ended badly last year. However, I find it extraordinary that although my family and close friends have not yet my new boyfriend they are being very judgemental and unkind about our relationship because of the age difference. He is ten years younger than me and it seems to be a bone of contention with many. People are saying that younger men only use older women and my sisters say I am a laughing stock to the family to think anything permanent could come of it. He is a very handsome guy, caring, considerate and honest but the opinion of others is making me have second thoughts. I wonder should I just forget about taking the relationship any further. I would appreciate your opinion. Respectfully, T.

ANSWER

Dear T, Attracting love has nothing to do with age. More importantly why would you feel you need the approval of family and friends to be in a relationship. There are so many myths our there. when it comes to relationships, none of which have actually to do with facts. Do not fill your head with the roadblocks others are placing on your path. From childhood we have been fed so many ‘shoulds’ and ‘shouldn’ts’ and these beliefs can sometimes be hard to break. You mention all the positive qualities of your boyfriend so why let others build walls around you to keep him out. Stand in your own power and trust your own intuition - no one knows you better than yourself.

÷ FIRST CARD: BOLD

Don’t play it safe right now. Instead, take action in the direction of your true heart’s desire. Success comes not from timidity but from committing yourself to realising your dream. Hold the clear intention of success and it shall come about. Enjoy the excitement of taking risks, of being bold, and of being daring. And be sure to celebrate your success with a party or by splurging on a wonderful new indulgence.

ADVICE/OBSTACLE: LEAP OF FAITH

‘Take a risk and put your heart’s desire into action! Procrastinating about your dreams won’t make them go away. Neither will it make them happen.’ Indecision is the death of the soul’s burning to improve, grow, and learn. Don’t worry about making a wrong decision. Instead, worry about making no decision at all! Then take time to pray, meditate, investigate, research, go on nature walks... and make a decision. Once made the universal energies will immediately support you and doors will successively open as if by magic. The magic, you see, is that you’ve set your mind to accomplish something. And this intention is what sets you on your magical journey. Trust that the universe will support you in all ways. Trust that your intention is clear and right for you. And then take a leap of faith and jump fully and squarely into the midst of putting your dreams into action.

OUTCOME: HAVE FAITH

The seeds that you have planted are beginning to sprout results. You may not even be aware of these results, however, since they are in their infancy. Now it is more important than ever to stay positive, and to hold a clear vision of your desire and intentions. Avoid those with negative mindsets. Baby steps towards your dream is essential. A phone call, a letter, or reading relevant material will keep the energy of your manifestation at a high level.
