Journal Archive

Welcome to the inside of my head!!!! My journal is a place where I let my thoughts off their leash and they get to run free. Unafraid of what others might think, feel, or say. Here I will be sharing with you everything that is important to me. That could be anything from the state of our beloved planet to my new favorite nail polish. Do your thoughts have a playground where they can let loose and be free? I invite you to "gift" yourself and your thoughts by keeping a journal. You never know what new and fun things you might find in that playground.
Well, I wrote a journal entry entitled "What Now" that I was going to post today. But it's gone. Don't know how, but it's gone. I searched everywhere on my computer, but I can't find it. I normally would have been agitated for hours and angry for having to write a brand new entry, but not this time.
I have chosen to "Start Over Again". I find myself handling life with that very motto lately. Start Over Again. Instead of fighting to make something work, keep someone around, or change something up, I have just been starting over again. Letting go of the person, situation or thing that I've been holding onto almost always allows something (or someone) even better to show up.
I also think there is a lesson to be learned in letting go and starting over again. I find flowing with the Universe instead of against it really works. It might not be easy to do at first, but it gets easier over time. I've come to see my journey as "Birth, Life, Rebirth". We all know when we are trying with all of our might to keep things just as they are because we fear the unknown. But the thing or person we desire may be in the unknown and we won't know that until we let stuff go. LET IT GO.
Trust that everything happens for a divine reason. Everything. When it's time for something or someone to no longer take up space in our life, we will know. The trick is not to resist it. You've heard that saying, "What you resist persists". Just think of how much time and energy we could save if we would just let things go as soon as we are guided to.
I feel like I've gotten off topic a bit, but that's okay. I get to START OVER AGAIN. (I'm getting the hang of this). Plus, it's my journal, so it doesn't have to make complete sense (does your journal make complete sense? i doubt it.) : )
So ladies, STOP, DROP & ROLL - STOP resisting, DROP the person or thing that needs to be released from your life and ROLL with the universe's plan for you. It's really that simple.
I am so excited about what's in store now that I'm making room for all of the good stuff coming my way! I'll keep you posted.

Tomiko,
This is so timely. Thank you for sharing. My life has changed so much in the past three or four months. There are people that I am struggling to hang on to that keep me from taking hold of something that may be better. Tough stuff. Unnecessary tough stuff. The more I simply allow things to be, the angst I normally feel dissipates and things become so much easier. I think that is the way life is supposed to be.
