Dec 31 2025 - Let Go

Picture taken of the Bow River Tributary fast flowing water by J. Hirst

Have you ever read something that felt so true that it just zinged through your body?  It happened to me on December 28 2025 when I read the following words from Reid Tracy, CEO of Hay House Publishing.  He talks about how he learned to let things go.  This is my wish for each of you for 2026.  Let the things go that do not matter.  

Here are the words that jolted me.

 Every year around this time, I do something a little different. I don’t write resolutions, and I don’t make a vision board. Instead, I make a “Let Go” list. 

And this year, thanks to Mel Robbins and her book 

The Let Them Theory, I’ve been thinking a lot more deeply about what belongs on that list. 

If you’re not familiar with Let Them, the idea is simple:

• If someone wants to doubt you, let them. 
• If someone wants to leave, let them. 
• If someone doesn’t see your value, let them. 

Mel says the key to peace is releasing the need to control what was never yours to carry in the first place. — excerpt from Reid Tracy, CEO of Hay House Publishing, link https://links.emails.hayhouse.com/servlet/MailView?ms=NzUzMjczODES1&r=MTgyMjM2NzMyOTY2S0&j=Mjk4MTM3MDcwMgS2&mt=1&rt=0

Happy November 1 2025

As November kicks off, people in the Northern Hemisphere are settling in for Winter with its cold and snow and Christmas preparations.  

November is a good month for practicing "letting go" of things, feelings, and family/friends that no longer serve you.  Note that serve does not mean in the sense that they are your servants but in the sense that they do not provide any support or encouragement in your life.  If the person makes your life more difficult by demanding that you do this or that, then that person has an agenda that excludes any benefit to you.

For example, if you want to do something like take art classes and those around you tell you that it is a waste of money or that you do not have talent, then they are an example of someone that does not serve you.  Their most common comeback for what they say is, "I am just looking out for your best interest".  This is a falsehood because it would be in your best interest to experience something new.  They don't want you to move ahead or progress so they make up reasons to hold you back.

Generally, people are competitive and are afraid that you will do better than them, or, be better than them.  Therefore, individuals will try to hold you back, selfishly, so that you do not make them look unsuccessful or lazy or….

Many blessings,

Judy
