We can be angry for months, years,
even a lifetime. Or we can feel this
way for just one day, one hour, one
minute. Speak your truth; then let it go.

“The problem is not that there are
problems. The problem is expecting
otherwise and thinking that having
problems is a problem.”

    Your words are so relevant this week that it’s almost scary. We all have “that one thing” that, no matter who or what the circumstance, triggers anger and defensive posturing, even when we are typically able to let so many other things slide. I’ve recently discovered my “one thing” and seen it for what it really is. Thankfully, by identifying that root of anger I’m able to look much more objectively at why I need to say “it doesn’t matter” and let it go because the source and the situation are decades apart. By choosing to release my anger, I can reframe my thoughts toward positive, healthy things that make a real difference. Thank you for the timely reinforcement!

      Yes, and in a couple of months (this April) you’ll have The Life Raft in hand! Then your intuition will guide you to the “right” page!

    I think to speak the truth and then let go is so very necessary. But I don’t think that speaking it to the person you may be angry at always works. The words we speak at such times have to be impeccable and with harm to none. And since we can feel each other’s energy, we can sense when we are unable to hear each other’s truth. It may take years to finally get why we felt so angry with one another, and in fact the time may never come when we can finally speak with harm to none. It sometimes just tears the people we wish to talk with into shreds. and often these are the people we love most. I think it’s more important to find the roots to our anger and dig them out of our garden. Sometimes, the person I most need to thrash out my anger with is me!

      Good point Elena about not lashing out at others. Often, I’ve found, that it can be ultimately healing for both people if one person expresses his/her hurt … without making the other person “wrong.” Ha. That’s the trick ‘cuz the ego loves to make me “right” all the time!

    SO TRUE!
    And very wise people keep reminding me that letting go of resentments is really healing for ME. Forgiveness is in this family of actions too. Ah. I wish it were easier for me…
    What helped me once was when a very wonderful woman in my women’s group said to me “You are holding a grudge”. I felt I had a right to be angry, but she was right too. That’s been eye opening for me.

CJ has an amazing ability to reach into an author’s words and extend, expand, and help bring them to light and life, without interfering with the original tone and voice of the work. She knew just how to bring flavor into my wording. During the editing process, I remember telling friends and family how lucky I was to have found CJ for this book. It was the perfect fit! I could tell she really cared about the subject matter. She is the best of the best!
