RELEASE
word of the day: RELEASE
It is time to be free
from all the things you thought you would need:
the relationship that was not healthy
the way of thinking that holds you back
the fear that restrained you,
you are free
to breakthrough,
for today
is brand new.
Let it mean something to you.
You have come the longest way
and you do not have to be who you were yesterday.
Love is still ahead of you.
You might not see it yet,
but you can trust:
there is still a path beneath your feet.
You are still becoming
who you were made to be.
And you do not have to worry about arriving,
just focus on being here,
knowing there is grace for every moment
and love is still greater than fear.
I do not know what letting go looks like you
but I hope it feels like a sweet release.
I hope letting go
does not make you feel weak,
but strong, hopeful, free.
And maybe, after letting go,
You won’t have to worry like you used to.
Maybe after everything,
you have not missed out on what was meant for you
And I hope you are able
to look back on this January with gratitude
for all you made it through,
knowing that even though
so much was out of your control,
you still found the freedom in the well of your soul
to start over with hope,
amidst all that was unknown.
You are free to let go
of what you no longer need
in pursuit of becoming more
of who you were meant to be.
You are free to believe:
not being able to see what’s ahead of you
does not mean there is nothing more.
Trust that you have not seen
all there is to see down these hallways.
There will still be open doors.

I received a few letters from readers recently and I was reminded that there was nothing like reading physical letters and writing back. So here's my mailing address if you'd like to share something! I’d love to share some letters on social media as well*, as a way of sharing who’s in this community! I’d also love to respond to as many as possible!
