renee's thoughts worth catching

I will not bore you with words

that are to reside the past

I'd rather bring the light forward

to show you how Life changes fast

when you are on a ride of remorse

and going down the slide of guilt

holding onto pain from divorce

and feeling your insides tilt

you are cheating yourself

of being completely here

your determination can tell

how to move past all of the fear

life is a long story built from creation

there are twists, turns and setbacks

forward movement and dedication

being spun around to the better track

through the love we feel deep inside

we are able to see the world's reflection

of heart whispers and love we decide

and we realize it's all about perception

focusing on the creation of gorgeousness

and allowing Life to do its remarkable thing

brings us to a state of immense loveliness

we are blessed daily by what Life does bring

bring dreams to life and hold a high standard

turn the wheel and inspire amazing moves

we follow this and then we can edge forward

and you realize you don't have anything to prove

believe in the best version of who you are

trust that your identity is not just your story

take a chance and wish upon a star

this Life is meant to take you to pure glory

Letting Go... Release

There is such a calmness about choosing to hang out. There is a wonder in seeing the world from a different angle. When there is a freedom from everything carried on a daily basis, and the view is flipped, there is such a sweet release and a moment of deep breaths. This all leads to a quiet understanding that this is the break that has been a long time coming.

The enlightenment received from being at peace and being happy by going against the grain is about the best there is. There is such a relief because finally things are being let go and it is okay to do so. Also, things are being looked at from a different angle and problems can often be solved faster because of this.

So I am learning – to leave the past in the past. I am learning it is going to be okay and my world will not end if I just release the hold. Resistance to being off the hook is strong but I have determined that I am stronger.

Anne Partain put it beautifully. And it was a major A-ha moment for me. “I think letting go means trusting the outcome to the Source.” (and put whatever word for Source in there that feels right to you: Life, God, Spirit, the Goddess, Divinity, you get the point). Isn't that just a beautiful way of looking at it? It definitely spoke to me and I have had an easier time letting go ever since.

I do not claim to know all of the answers. But what I do know is there is so much that I do not miss that I thought at one point I could not live without. For instance, I thought I would go belly side up when we stopped subscribing to cable television. But I didn't. And I know, in this day and age, you can still watch a lot streaming, but not all. And I don't feel as though I am missing out. I have moved past so many excess things I thought I had to have and I am better because of it.

What do you need to release?
