fasting, day thirteen
I need to let go.
This is usually my problem. For a looooooooong time I needed to let go, and once I did I felt liberated and renewed. Now, once again, I need to let go. And, my chiropractor confirmed that for me today.
It is a neat thing with there is synchronicity between your emotions/thoughts and your body. My body has been telling me *something* for the past few days by giving me a pinching cramp in the lower left area of my abdomen, but darned if I know what it was trying to say. Today, at my appointment, we figured out what it was saying. It was saying, "Let go, please." And that was what I needed to hear.
I need to let go of expectations, my need for perfection, my fear of losing myself, stigma about getting married "again", the illusion of control, and... apparently... the food in my belly. It all just needs to go. And I need to let it go.
Cool.

What helps me to "let go" (I have issues with this, too) is to remind myself that no matter how much I think I'm in charge, I'm not really in charge. Free Will and God's Will are complementary, not singular of one another. Good luck, ladyfriend. And maybe you should think about a colon cleanse after the honeymoon (kidding!!!).

I support that, dear. Let it all go. I'll be there for what I can be - or for what you want me to be there.
The rest is your journey, to find with God and whoever else figures into your path.
I love you.
