Where can I let go resonate with me. I have occasional difficult moments when I just cannot go to sleep at night. Letting go of’ I have to’ is a step there too. Thank you for reminding me just now.

I couldn't have been in a more restful position when I read your email. On the couch, with coffee in hand, a pillow on my lap holding my computer...two dogs napping near by...cats elsewhere also napping...a quiet early morning. And yet I was holding onto tension that wasn't on my radar until I read your words. All the parts of me that were 'hanging on tight' gently released. Thank you for this moment. Much love to you and the words you share. xx

Thank you Lizzie 🙏🏽 It was so useful to read this right now. I’m sitting in bed thinking about what to ‘do’. I am full of flare of autoimmune dis-ease in response to stress and grief. And just last night I was telling myself to stop doing things to try to be ok. To let go and trust I will find my way through. So thank you for this so eloquent and beautiful inquiry. Take care dear one 🙏🏽❣️

There is a slow, softness that arrives as I ask my self.. where can I let go? Where can I feel soft? How does that relate to joy?

A great question to ask ourselves. For me, it’s usually in the breath…release.
