Letting go

I so love the Brave Girls Club.  Here's another gem.

Dear Beloved Girl,

When we have old things in our hands that we are afraid of being without, with our fists lightly clenched around those things, and we walk around fearing what will happen if we ever open our hands and let those things go -- when we worry whether or not anything else will make its way into our lives, if we will ever have enough -- if our hands will always remain empty if we open them and let the old clenched things go -- if we keep doing that, we will NEVER be able to grasp onto what is meant for us.

What is done is done. What is over is over. We are meant to move forward; we are meant to progress. Everything natural and beautiful and true and living was designed to constantly be renewing itself, progressing, living living living and then dying -- going on to the next step of its life cycle. When we clench old things in our hands, we prevent new things from being able to hold hands with us. New experiences, new things to learn, new relationships, new things that we don't even know exist yet.

Today is a great day to finally let go. It will be okay. In fact, it will be incredible.

It might hurt for a minute, just like all endings do. But the beginning that is just behind the ending (the ending that is long past due) is where the miracles are. Hold on to that hope, but let the rest go.

Let it go.
It is time.

You are so very very very loved.

xoxo
