Letting Go :-) :-( :-/

What does it mean to truly let go? How can you gauge when you have had enough and it's time to go? Is it your job, your relationship, your current....whatever it may be? Only you know what is right for you. I am big on giving spiritual advice right now because that is what has worked for me. I believe that after your mind is made up and you are clear about your intentions, it's time to act and make a clear, conscious, unrushed, unemotional, heartfelt decision to take the next step.

Sometimes the term "letting go" is much easier said than done. For example, if you know that your letting go would put others in a tough position you may hold on a little longer or make excuses for why you need to stay put. It is necessary to pray about everything and worry about nothing. I pray from the time I open my eyes until the time I go to bed at night and I'm still not done. Sometimes I start praying and realize I'm all prayed out. But God knows my heart, he knows all of my wants and needs and that is why it is so important for ME to know what I need.

I know that I have the need to do what comes naturally and what feels right to me. I know that I need to focus on long term happiness, health, and prosperity. I am on a personal quest to see how far I can take this "faith thang". I really want all that this life has to offer as long as it is positive, uplifting, and from God. How do I know what's from God or if it is just my own selfish desires???  I'm still figuring that part out!

I decided to come back to my first love which is writing. I have strayed for far too long. Writing is what gives me peace. It is what allows me to take out all my frustration, stress, and anger at times. I write when good things happen, I write when not so good things happen, I write all the time....but I just stuff the writing in my file cabinet, my closet, my drawer, my purse, my checkbook, my planner, my car, my bible, or anywhere else that I can imagine to put it at the time and I never come around to looking at what I have written again until I am upset and happen to come across the paper as I clean up or feel the need to throw some stuff away.

I can truly say that I am letting go of bad habits, bad ways of thinking, and I am letting go of things that I am trying to make work that just aren't working. I feel that by letting go of what shouldn't be in my life anyway, I will attract all that is supposed to be in the midst and in my presence.

I'm not letting go of my common sense and I'm not letting go of my blog!

I'm BAAAAACK!
