So often we hold onto things that God himself is trying to remove from our lives. We remain in relationships or jobs well past the point that we know in our deepest heart is no longer the right situation for us. Why do we do this? Why do we hold onto things that block our Blessings? This is a question that I have asked myself time and time again whenever I find myself in a position where I am unable to move forward.
My inability to let go was sometimes due to fear; fear of being alone, fear of starting over, fear of failing, or even just trying. Sometimes it was laziness or a lack of resources. And at other times it was because I lacked self-confidence or a strong support system? Whatever the reason, in each situation I had to come to a point where it was time to let go of any and all negativity and step into God's Blessings. I had to learn that I have nothing to fear but fear itself. Holding onto the things/people that God was trying to remove out of my life was a complete waste of my time and did not contribute to my growth. Letting go allowed me to live the life that God wanted for me.
An old professor once told me "You are faced with tremendous opportunities brilliantly described as impossible situations!" That quote has stuck with me over the years and has helped me overcome some difficult times and let go of things that needed to be released. I hope it can provide motivation to you as well.
Peace & Love,

About Me

- I am a native of New Orleans but currently live in the DC metro area. The things that I enjoy the most in life are photography, lending a helping a hand to those around me, traveling, cooking, and the taste of great wines. I believe that life should be lived out loud and that the greatest tradjedy is to not live your life to the absolute fullest and that you should do so without fear of failure to just simply try.
