Why is it that I attract powerful men
who spend days leading other men,
those who think I'm more beautiful
than I would ever think I am,
the ones who have money
and want to settle down,
those who are most often
well known around town.

Why is it that I attract the older men
who spend their nights at my feet,
most say it's my eyes that drew them
and then they couldn't retreat.

Why do I attract the handsome men
who hold me like they can't let go,
many broken hearts in my wake,
but it's not like I didn't tell them so.

Why is it that I can have
most any man I choose,
but I'm still stuck on the one
I would eventually lose.

Ugh, do I ever understand this... I have a feeling I'm in for a long haul considering it's already been in my cards for awhile.

Your questioning is powerfully expressed, dear Dixie.  Attraction works well when there is resistance ... to let go of past clingings, you need to surrender to what is, only then you will be able to reopen your heart and develop a new ability to love.

((((Dixie))))
Love and hugs.

"Why is it that I attract powerful men?"

"...who think I'm more beautiful
than I would ever think I am,"

"the ones who have money
and want to settle down,"

"the handsome men"

"Why is it that I can have
most any man I choose,"

Gosh, Darlin' Dixie ~ I want what you're having!

Now if you'd only get over that man that you "would eventually lose", you life sounds pretty darn good to me!

Giving you a hug, a pat on the back ~ and a little kick to your bottom!

“many broken hearts in my wake,
but it's not like I didn't tell them so.”

Maybe though
with different lengths of time involved
they all finally listen . . .

Dixie, you don't know how lucky you are

There would be so many women who would love to be in your shoes my dear.

I wish you well,  Love

Lindsay
