6 months later my doorbell rang - at 8am in the morning!
This gorgeous young man stood there, eyes beaming, with the biggest smile: “Thank you for my amulet! My life fell apart so beautifully!”
Roberto had come to Sedona to thank me in person.
We settled in for breakfast and he told me his story:
His heart had been aching to be an artist. But he was trapped in a family business - surrounded by machines. According to their tradition the parents and the wife’s parents had arranged the marriage he was in.
He respected his wife, cared for her and felt like they were good friends. But he did not love her as a wife.
He loved and respected his parents.
However his desire to create art and live life as an artist had gotten immensely strong. He wanted to live his passion. But he also didn't want to hurt anyone. He had been yearning for a solution that would be filled with love.
When he got his amulet, he hid it. He took it out every chance he had - and he slept with it every night, holding it in his hands, pressed to his heart.
He started painting whenever he had some free time.
Eventually he opened up to his wife. Telling her about his passion for art, how he loves her as a friend but not as a wife. To his surprise his wife started smiling and crying at the same time. She confessed that she loves another man and would be so happy if she would be free to be with him.
He then went to talk to his parents, holding his amulet in one hand. They all ended up crying together.
The parents didn't want him to keep suffering. They wanted him to be happy.
They let him leave the family business that he was supposed to take over.
He got his own place and a studio for his art.
He decided to come to Sedona to thank me for "his life falling apart so beautifully."
