A friend of this page sent this image today…I love it.


What have you taken off recently?


I've had a lovely experience in the last few weeks of deeper understanding about how much I am NOT in charge of the decisions that other people make — not only about their own lives, but about how they feel toward me.


It's such a simple thing to say ("What people think of me is none of my business") but to actually FEEL that truth deeper in my bones than I ever have before is giving me an extraordinary sense of lightness and possibility.


I feel like I can look at the world with more love and clarity than ever, and just say, "You do you; I'll do me" — and let it go at that. Not to say it aggressively, not to dismiss people or be contemptuous toward them, but just to know that they are on their own journey with their own perspective, and to let it be.


It feels nice to have taken that off — the mistaken sense that I need to be worried about the opinions or actions of other autonomous human beings.


It makes me like other people and myself better.


So what have you taken off? And what do you want to take off next?


All love,
LG

Look what came in today's mail!

And no, this is not what it looks like, I am not reading at work with my feet up on the desk.

Okay so maybe I am… But maybe it's lunchtime!

Oh alright… just don't rat me out to my boss please!

A beautiful moment from tonight’s event in Milwaukee…

A beautiful moment from tonight's event in Milwaukee…

I knew I had to come when my sister sent me the Boswell link, but I had no idea how much it would mean to me. I read Eat, Pray, Love on my first deployment and it made me think and dream. I read it again during my second deployment and it helped create a strong desire to repair. I started a running program and listened to an audio version. Listening to your voice tonight reminded me of the emotional, mental, and physical healing process that you were there for. It moved me so much I was in tears as I brought my book for you to sign. I knew I had to stay for a picture. They were tears of joy as I think back to where I was and where I am now and how much I love my life today. Thank you!
