Imagine a Lover
…for those seeking a woman to love.

Until you imagine something, it remains an impossibility.
Once imagined, it becomes your experience.

Imagine a lover who has walked through her past.
A lover who is aware of her historic vulnerabilities.
Who takes responsibility for her own stuff.

Imagine a lover who has developed her talents and gifts.
A lover who isn’t waiting for the prince to arrive.
Who has prepared a financially stable future for herself.

Imagine a lover who assumes equality in her relationships.
A lover who brings her interests and experience with her.
Whose presence in your life both challenges and delights you.

Imagine a lover who has embraced her own strength.
A lover who doesn’t need a knight in shining armor to save her.
Who won’t fall apart when you share doubts and fears.

Imagine a lover who tells the truth.
A lover who co-creates solutions for your shared challenges.
Who wrestles with you for truth’s blessing.

Imagine a lover who expresses her sexual needs and desires.
A lover who is capable of both giving and receiving pleasure.
Who fully participates in the deepening sexual intimacy you share.

Imagine a lover who accepts her aging, and yours, with grace.
A lover who doesn’t hide the changes in her body.
With whom you celebrate the accumulation of your years.

And so it is!
