Thank you!

I've received so much positive feedback about my recent blogs that were extremely personal. If you called me, texted me, or talked to me in person to say that you were proud, or like one--that you, too, are planning to set some people free in your own lives, thank you! It makes the risk of "baring my soul" totally worth it if it helps someone else. We all want to look like we've got it all together, but let's face it, who does? I have to say that since I did that on Friday, that it's literally like a cancer has been removed from my life. I FEEL different. I truly believe that bitterness, hatred and just holding on to wounds can cause actual physical ailments in people's lives. I'm not saying ALL the time....but in some cases....It's amazing how much strength I was using to hold on to something that I didn't even realize until I released it. Am I set for life now? No. I STILL have things I have to let go of continually. I will say that I'm a very type A personality. I want to know the Ins and Outs of EVERYTHING. Before? Like when Travis would say I need to apologize, I'd say, "Well THEN what? What does that MEAN?" And I continued to stay in a prison that I was creating. You can do that. I did for a long time. And you can even be justified in your actions. I was very valid in having my guard up and being angry. You can find the right people to tell you how they'd do the exact same thing. And it's true. BUT...where does that get you? Well, I can answer that: nowhere. The ONLY person that had the right to completely annihilate and judge everyone because they were actually without blame did not. He took the blame. And suffered for it. And justified you while you were wrong. He still does it (not suffers, but justifies) on a daily basis. So...let's not just love in words but in deeds. I'm trying. :)
