SHE Just Let It All Go

 I'll let the poem speak for itself. I hope that it resonates with you and your heart as well. 
She woke up and she let it all go.
She found herself and her life has changed.
She let go. Without a second thought or a word from others, she let go.
She let go of her insecurities or fear of failure.
She let go of seeking approval from others or judgment of those closest to her.
She let go of the confluence and whispering from others swarming around her head.
She let go of thinking she could never measure up to the expectations that was placed upon her.
She let go for all the 'right' reasons to save herself.
Wholly and completely, with confidence and without hesitation or self-doubt, she just let go of it all.
This time in life has truly been a blessing for her.
She's opened her eyes to see what's important in life that money can't buy.
Time is precious and not to be taken for granted.
She didn't ask anyone for advice during this time of solace.
She didn't read a book on why and how to let go.
She didn't search the scriptures because she has a personal relationship with God.
She just let go.
She let go of all of the memories that held her back and the failed relationships.
She let go of all of the anxiety that kept her from believing in herself and moving forward.
She let go of the planning for her future and all of the calculations about how to do it just right.
She didn't make a promise to herself to let go one day.
She didn't journal about it to remind her of letting go.
She didn't write the projected date in her Day-Timer or notes.
She made no public announcement to the world or on social media and she didn't put no ad in the paper.
She didn't check the weather report, the day or month of the year.
She just let go.
She didn't analyze whether she should let go, or hang on to what's familiar or comfortable.
She didn't call her family or friends to discuss the matter with them.
She didn't do a ten- step program or admitted herself into Treatment.
She didn't call the prayer line, because prayer is an everyday activity for her.
She didn't utter one word to a single soul.
She just let go.
No one was around when it happened.
There was no applause, celebration or congratulations.
She wasn't seeking attention.
No one thanked her, discredit her or praised her.
No one noticed a thing.
Like a leaf falling from a tree so freely, she just let go.
Without a warning or spoken word, she just left.
There was no effort or struggle within her.
There was no fallen tears or regrets.
It wasn't good and it wasn't bad.
It was what it was, and it is just that for her.
In the space of letting go, she let it all be.
A Big smile came over her face.
She was finally set free from seeking others approval and satisfaction.
She's used to feeling the fire and she's no longer worried about let downs.
She put the work in day and night and she's finally free.
A light breeze blew through her. And the sun and the moon shone forevermore…She's found love within herself and no one can ever take that away!
