Enslavement

The subjugation to suppression, bondage, and duress. In this case not to another person. Not to an entity. Not by governmental action, nor criminal activity.  The enslavement I need to “give up” is to the issues lingering from within, that are holding me captive and preventing me from moving on. That’ll be the focus ofContinue reading “Enslavement”

Indecision

Decisions are something that apparently more than a few people have trouble with. As I often have shared, I belong to the schools of thought that teach,…. What happens when you make a decision? Either it works. Or it doesn’t It always made perfect sense to me, however as we’ll explore on this edition ofContinue reading “Indecision”

Questioning Questioning

There is no question mark required. I am most definitely questioning my questioning. In this “Lenten Letter” I am realizing a connection between several issues I am attempting to ‘give up’.

One of the concurrences of events I’mContinue reading “Allowing To Blossom”

Hey Rochelle, Yeah it’s meContinue reading “Giving Up Busyness”

Controlling Time

“Becoming Today” is all about timing. The decisions, choices and options we have are related to when things will occur and trusting that the timing is right on schedule. However we must accept that schedule is not due to our planning or wishes, so in this “Lenten Letter”, I am seeking to ‘give up’ theContinue reading “Controlling Time”

Giving Up Fear

Our current focus on giving things up for Lent has led me to undertake this series of releases. Attempting to let go of any number of behaviors, concerns, ideas or situations.

Well just maybe it’s one of those things that sounds easier thanContinue reading “Only You Can Be You”

Reemerging

Sometimes we can find ourselves in periods of hibernation. While I didn’t think I needed the rest, the cycles of life proved to me just  how necessary it was.  I had to admit this has been where I had been residing for the last few weeks. The depths of dormancy had overtaken me  as IContinue reading “Reemerging”
