“I’d like to be remembered as a person who wanted to be free and wanted other people to be also free.” Rosa Parks
We must learn one thing;
The world was made to be free in
Give up all the other worlds except the one to which you belong
Sometimes it takes darkness and the sweet confinement of our aloneness to learn,
Anything or anyone that does not bring you alive, is too small for you.
David Whyte
Sometimes our obligations, our fears and our beliefs can make it difficult for us to let go of relationships or lifestyles, that keep us from expanding and being free in this world.Ā Letting go of the worlds to which we do not belong, is the first step.
There’s a lot to be done, in that first step.
Then you better get started Mr K! šš»š
Yes, I agree with David. That first step is a biggie.
It is a biggie and then it def gets easier! šš»šš

Lovely, and David Whyte has a brilliant gift of the word! Lucky enough to have seen him speak once, what pure joy!
That would have been amazing! His words are truth and wisdom. šš»
Freedom is right there … when we can let go of what we think has been keeping us safe and in control.
A great reminder Karen to let go of old inner junk!
So true Val! Those other worlds do not serve us ššš»
“Sometimes it takes darkness and the sweet confinement of our aloneness to learn”
