I’ve recently realized just how much letting go has become a reoccurring theme in my life. The frustration from that one disagreement with my mom. The photos from that one big day that will always be a memory. The connection with that one friend who wanted more than I could give. The partnership with that one colleague who is moving on. It’s hard as hell to do because it brings about heartache…and change. And change is intense.

The thing I’m learning, that seems so obvious, yet is so quickly forgotten is: This will not last. The pain, the intensity, the things in life. None of it will last. Change is happening now whether I like it or not. So may as well “yes” my way through the discomfort and straight into better times ahead….Seems like a better path to me.
