A Recipe for Letting Go

Dear Self,

Just reading the words, letting go, creates a visceral reaction. The act of letting go is not a natural process for me. Last week I was sitting with my dearest friend who has terminal cancer, and he said something that stuck with me,

“There’s no recipe book for letting go. Nobody teaches you how to do this.”

He is right. So many of us struggle with this phenomenon in various ways and there is not a recipe book to follow! It clicked- I will create one. I will make this much needed recipe book. These next posts will be about letting go- for my friend battling cancer, for myself, and for you, dearest reader. If you have ever battled with letting go, control, clinging, fear, or anxiety, this series is for you.

Hold on tight as we all learn to let go.

It’s gonna be a wild ride.
