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

Teaching Friendship

This is absolutely a story to forward

What the pictures show… a small adult dog walks down the sidewalk along a fence.  She stops at a gate, and waits.  A lovely black and white adult cat walks out to join the dog.  He leans against the dog as though saying hello.  Then both animals continue the walk, together, in comfortable silence.

*************************************

Every day - at the same time - she waits for him...
He comes... and they go for a walk
Wouldn't it be great if we all had friends like this...no words needed...they just intuitively recognize the value of each other in their lives and act accordingly.

****************************************

I hope that you enjoyed this.  Sometimes, pictures do tell the story that we need to know.

 

Blessings,

Judy
