Letting go

 
This year I learnt about letting go.

Letting go of what I can't control. {Surrendering}. I learnt to just be. {More often}.

It was in my effort to make our house sell {so we could move on and ahead} that I almost created one of my
greatest fears.

Change came when I surrendered {and fully let go}.

And now as I look back at a bigger than big
year of changes, I'm excited to be on the eve of a new year.

And to be where at the beginning of last year I remember hoping to be.

But, as life likes to do, it threw me the perfect emotional storm these past few days. A storm that could only be quelled by letting go of what I can't control.

So I'm grateful for this test, and the opportunity to apply this lesson.

 
It reminded me I'm stronger than I think, and how good it feels to let go.

It reminded me I am supported {by so many, and in so many ways}.

And that now is the perfect time to let go of the old {patterns, emotions and stuff too} and allow extra space for wonder, more love, change and new.

xx  
 
Wishing you the happiest new year!

  5. I know I have a lot of letting go to do. I sometimes find it difficult to work within my circle of control, and attempt to go beyond that and change things which I simply can't- and shouldn't. Something to think about for the new year...

  7. Wise words. Letting go is so very very hard. I struggle with that often. I much prefer having control over everything, but life doesn't work like that. It is so freeing to "let go and let live".
