The Letting Go Challenge

The 24 hour Soul-Art-a-thon sparked a radical letting go feeling in my being.  I’ve decided to give myself a Letting Go Challenge so I am fully ready to enter my next level and I’d like to invite you to do the same.

    I need to let go of my old product line, and I’ve started working on the nü shop already :)

  2. Comment by Franceska

    I am letting go of the multitude of collections that hold cash value and no longer satisfy any part of me or need I have to make room for more time, space and money to do art, travel and develop soulfully with friends and family.

  3. Comment by Kim

    Laura, your videos always make me think. Thank you.

    Lately, I have been letting go of a lot of material things as I prepare for a move to a new house, new community, new country!

    But, in my business, I need to let go of attaching to a certain outcome with a certain timing. As long as I am aligned with my purpose, things will unfold as they should. My progress has been slow and steady, yet instead of focusing on that, I tend to focus on what hasn’t happened yet.

    This week, I learned a valuable lesson. I put in a request for someone to speak at an upcoming workshop and hadn’t heard back from them. I was disappointed but decided it wasn’t meant to be. I let it go and planned the workshop without them. This past week, they got in touch – they had lost the request and said that they were willing to participate. What I wanted to happen did, just not according to my timing.

    Laura, I continue to be amazed at “the message out there” over the last week. I as well came face to face with with a me that caused and allowed me to step back and observe. “WHAT is this?” “WHO is this?”

    Acceptance, acknowledgement of “it” and it was a part of me. Then, flow n let go helped me to move past.

    My biggie was “do not take anything personally”. In moving forward, for this day, this week, I challenge myself to FLOW n LET GO.

  5. Comment by Jenna

    This is so perfect right now, Laura.

    I am letting go of my old business name and website (the one I’ve listed). I’m letting go of low-paying part time jobs and starting to uplevel there. I am letting go of trying to create my new vision all by myself, and learning what’s possible when I reach out and connect and learn with others.

    Your videos continue to inspire and encourage me – thank you so much!

    I am a real fan of making free space I do it each time before I start something, I open space, Before writing a blog post I reorganize my office and get a tidy attack. Right now I face the old and new, I have bought a new land to expand my vision of my ashram center in south France: It includes an old ruin and a gorgeous fairy land. The ruin cries for earth healing in order to heal old enemies, the little fairy park is an instant input for new visions and ideas.
    Thank dear Laura your message is on time. Much love to you

  7. Comment by Kristin McNamara Freeman

    Laura…
    What a timely challenge….my letting go includes
    1) bits in my studio that take up space and are not being used and have not
    been used in a very long time
    2) letting go of negative thinking about a friendship I let go this winter
    3) continuing to bless the woman I lent a large sum of money to who is not
    making the agreed upon payments – thinking negatively about the situation
    only impacted my well-being so I continue to give time to blessing her and
    letting go of those old, negative feelings
    4) releasing thoughts that involve concern about the amount of money I have
    each month in retirement – no dwelling on lack
    5) letting go of fear thoughts that impede my creative process in my studio
    6) letting go of negative feelings about my body – freeing myself to expand
    my time with chair exercises, chair tai chi and simple yoga as well as
    adding a slow gentle to the knees walk each day…re-picturing myself

    Thanks for this challenge!
    Giving an intentional focus on the positive, clearing out the negative and moving ahead with life in a successful, happy, fulfilling, positive way is my commitment.

    Kristin

    You are incredibly creative. I loveto watch your beautiful presentations of Fashion in appropriate settings, and listen to your optimistic thoughts.

  9. Comment by Qaadira

    Greetings, Laura
    What a timely post! Over the past weeks I’ve felt the same intuitive urging. Most of what I need to let go of are old thoughts and behaviors that keep me from stepping more fully into my vision of myself as a powerful creative explorer, mystic, and way-shower. Thank you for sharing.

  10. Comment by donna amato-salvacion

    The first things I thought of to let go. Was animosity that I feel toward a grandmother and mom who weren’t very supportive, more like ambivalent in my grandmothers case and fearful in my mothers case. after that I am already working on cleaning my house of the clutter. It’s a feng shui thing. the challenge comes at an appropriate and supportive time. Thanks

  11. Comment by Becky

    Super excited about this challenge! Have so much to let go of! I can’t wait for the space that will be created and the new opportunities that will arise!

  12. Comment by Shakaya Leone

    She never hurried.
    Never.
    Relax, she whispered.
    The good things never get away.
    Rushing means fear.
    Letting go of rushing; taking my sweet time…x

  13. Comment by Danielle Coleman

    My family (my husband and 4-yr old daughter) and I are in a dramatic shifting phase in our life right now. We’re going through personal changes, as well as changes together as a family and in our life/jobs/etc. `My husband and I both agree we need to let go of much of what we have in our current situation in order to give ourselves the breathing room and space to let in our new life, which we see as radically different (and much improved!) from where we are now. We’re in the process of selling our home, downsizing our vehicles, and letting go of most of our possessions as we prepare to relocate to another part of the country that is calling to us. We are looking to keep only those things that speak to us and to the purpose we’re looking towards, and to let go of those things that no longer fit or suit us as well.

    We are also trying very hard in this process to let go of old hurts, angers, un-needed feelings and pains that no longer have a place or purpose for us, so we can be freed from the chains those feelings currently hold on our lives.

    It’s a total transformation, and there have been alot of stumbling blocks, but the growth we’re feeling from it really reinforces we’re heading in the right direction, and we are so looking forward to where we’re heading.

  14. Comment by creative magazine

    Thank you, I have recently been searching for information about this subject for a while and yours is the greatest I have discovered till now. However, what concerning the bottom line? Are you sure concerning the source?|What i don’t understood is actually how you’re no longer actually much more well-favored than you might be right now. You’re very intelligent.

  15. Comment by Stede Barber

    Perfect timing for this question…

    Am starting the Soul Art certification program, needing to let go of self-doubt and all the disappointments in my life of things I’ve tried that haven’t gone as hoped.

    I’ve been following an inner intuition for awhile of “clean & clear”…still have a few boxes of papers to go, and my porch to tackle…just getting old things out and away and leaving my environment with either what I love, or what I need (why else would one save tax returns?!)

    Am still completing my first Soul Art project from International Soul Art day…looking for a bunch more images of yellow, peach and gold flowers! And for how to be with a new flow in my life that gives me the time, space, materials, and support, including financial, to do my creative work.

    So the letting go is on so many levels…physical…out with unsupportive habits, laziness, and stuff; mental…out with old unsupportive memories, thoughts, and beliefs; emotional…out with unsupportive feelings that make me feel bad…and spiritual…out with witholding my loving, joy, and caring…

    Here’s to the journey!

  16. Comment by Isabeau

    …. fear …. (of something, not yet seen) … because I “stop everything” I start doing …. (quit not everything, as I´m steel breathing :o )

  17. Comment by Isabeau

    please Laura ….. change de word “steel” by “still” …. sorry for this “english error” …. from Portugal, a very strong Hug … Thank You so much, for your Presence in my Life

  18. Comment by Ariella

    I’m letting go of old (subconscious) money beliefs that I’ve received from my parents, and beliefs I’ve created about my being that so aren’t true.

    I’ve already done this, which has empowered me 10-fold.

    But deep beneath, in crevices of my psyche, I’ve realized they’re still there, and so today is actually my day to do ritual around letting these things go.

    I am so excited to do this with you. See you on the other side.

    <3 <3 <3

  19. Comment by Trish

    I am letting go of my need to control EVERYTHING driven by my fear of uncertainty. This fear comes from my core and was affirmed a few years a go in my psyche by trauma.

    With the help of your generous sharing of your Soul Art process via your worksheet and video from International Soul Art Day and the prior teleseminar, I have been able to follow your steps and gain insight and spiritual action into healing from this trauma and letting go of this belief.

    I am excited to be embarking on those action steps now.

    Thank you for all that you do Laura.

    Much love,
    Trish

  20. Comment by Karin

    This is so funny :o ) I’m in exactly that place where a major letting go is taking place, and here you come with your challenge….
    I’m letting go – first of all – of criticism. And this “love-diet” that I’ve put myself on, has already had an overwhelming impact on every part of my life. And along with more self-love comes a clear sense of what I want to change in my life – and all of this I can let go of bit by bit.
    From better quality food to career-change to old limiting beliefs – it’s all being sturred up at the moment.

    P.S. I’ve joined the Soul Art certification and have recieved the registration mail. But nothing further. Was I too late to join?

  21. Comment by Tanya von Zychlinsky

    Synchronicity. Am also letting go of stuff – and over thinking: From the head – into the body.

    I have been seeking out there ‘preparing for the future’, goal oriented with focus ahead, when all is already contained within my body, wherever I AM it is. My body contains a world of wealth and wonder. It is my guide, my ‘escrow’, my other dimensions – whole galaxies of them, going ever smaller, much smaller than humans can understand, with reaches much bigger than thinking allows. It truly is Art, and continues within. And as the organs and cells are dimensions within dimensions so am I – and are we – organs and cells of the next bigger body. I had assumptions in my head, pure thinking knowledge – but now I know: I have seen it, and it has become my experience… turning expertise.

    Deep heartfelt gratitude,
    with admiration and reverence
    for my body and every body,

    Tanya

  22. Comment by Ellen Mann

    I am letting go of my past stories, those things that defined me up to this point. For I am now open to a new story of who I really am – my true essence.

    Thank you for your inspiring courage, Laura!

  23. Comment by laurahollick

    mmmmmm yes, Shakaya! I love the sweet ease of flowing with time and trusting its wisdom. Letting go of rushing is a powerful energy to release that will surely open doors for great ease and joy!

  24. Comment by laurahollick

    Hi Ariella, I love that you are willing to deepen your release. There is always further to go. Sometimes I experience it like a spiral, releasing an issue on one level only to discover it reappear on another level. When the old issue pops up again I wonder how your beautiful music could be woven into the letting go ceremony?

  25. Comment by laurahollick

    Karin, the ‘love-diet’ is exquisite. I’m going to take a bite of that while I’m letting go over everything!

  26. Comment by laurahollick

    Hi Tanya, sounds like you are letting go of head leadership to body/heart awareness. Powerful!

  27. Comment by Dalit

    How perfectly timed for me and others, Laura!
    I am very much in the letting go mode.
    Lately much of it has been digital purging, including multiple copies of things I didn’t even realize I had, and email subscriptions I get that are just taking up space.
    It is time to hear my own voice with penetrating clarity.
    I am excited to see what is revealed…
    In the spirit of fresh discovery,
    Dalit

  28. Comment by Andrea

    Praise for Laura Hollick!

    I need to let go of my coping mechanism of isolation/independence and open to the Abundance of connection and interdependence. I need to let go of the shield around my heart, to receive the nurturing of others and to share the rich beauty that is within me.

    Thank you for this engagement – it is very precious!

  29. Comment by McKella

    I have so much that I need to let go. Your wisdom always comes at just the right time.
    I need to let go of old ideas about myself, or the notions that my identity is tied up in something outside of myself. I’m currently working on my food/emotion issues and I’ve noticed a certain fear coming up over and over again: would I still be myself if I chose not to eat dessert because it harmed my body? Would I still be me if I didn’t make my famous chocolate chip cookies all the time? Who would I be if I didn’t need food to get through anxiety and stress?
    I also want to let go of outcomes. A certain change may not solve all my problems. My body may not return to it’s former state of health. My artistic work may not go according to plan. This person’s vision may not mesh with mine.
    So much to think about and sort through. Thank you for your insight!

  30. Comment by Lotus

    I am learning to stay committed to Love. I Am in a process of letting go of my holding on to the beautiful man I desire to recieve the love from. I want to let go of my attachment to love having to show up that way and step into faith that my true lover is on his way. I am struggling with fully honouring where he is at and that it is time to let go of the relationship we have/had and step out fully into my radiating.

  31. Comment by Val Charman

    Hi Laura, I got the same message as you and have already started letting go of ‘stuff’ by using up fabrics to make more products for my online shop, clearing clutter and putting it on ebay and making a list of furniture I can sell in readiness for my next move. I have been working hard to manifest the next level of my business and after sending off some documents I had to ‘let go’ of that as well and trust that the Universe will deliver everything as planned, or something better :) Exciting times!

  32. Comment by Kari

    Thank you Laura for your insight and encouragement. It is confirming and aligned with what both my husband and I have been experiencing. We have been doing a lot of physical purging of stuff and making space for the new to have room to bloom. On the inside, I am continuing to practice the art of letting go of control, not rushing the outcome, and being in the flow of my rhythm. In the next year, I will be continuing to let go of a conventional job and moving full-time into the space of my business. It is creative, spiritual entrepreneurs like you that encourage me on my journey.

    To a season of new growth and beginnings!

  33. Comment by Mary Kay

    My limiting beliefs. My doubts in myself. The power that I used to give to the demons in my head. My dependence on scarcity.

  34. Comment by Gayla D'Gaia

    This is also perfect for me! Anything new does require letting go and I am so attracted to the Soul Art Cleanse portion of your work as well as the Certification. I’m working with the Chakras, for the first time, really taking them in and realizing what they would be like if they were all attuned. It’s amazing!!! I’m letting go of disempowering repeating thought patterns that are stored in my Chakras and also, the need to rush!!! I love that one so much Earth Empress! Thank you Laura for leading this global movement of colorful birds and butterflies! So happy to be one of them!

  35. Comment by Katherine

    I will happily rise to your challenge!
    I’ve just moved house for the second time in 6 months and much letting go has been achieved en route physically and emotionally; but so much more I need to let go of to travel the journey more lightly, less stressfully, with more ease and freedom.
    I am also letting go of old, outdated thought processes, rebooting and reinstalling new more positive frames of mind for a more dynamic, confident, loving future. Also trying to be gentler on myself, going with the flow, letting go of expectations, giving myself permission to just be me.
    Thank you for your beautiful presence and passion Laura.

  36. Comment by Teresa Capaldo

    Letting go of the idea that things will be perfect if I push even harder, because it never is exactly how we want it across board, BUT, it IS actually perfect as “IT IS”.

    I don’t think anyone on here, does not have a ‘next step’ they desire to achieve :) right?

    One working mother, creating a business from scratch, can only do so much at once, and all of it is healing, healthy, new, and big stuff.

    So, I am committed to letting go of unrealistic expectations of myself (which is different from setting goals).

    I AM doing the best, my best, with heart, soul, and every fiber of my being, so, that is enough, that is something to celebrate!

  37. Comment by laurahollick

    Fantastic! So many creative spirits are rising to the challenge!

  38. Comment by MaziGrace

    To let go of lack . . . It’s time to step it up to the next level and I affirm to welcome more abundance, joy and gratitude from positive people and experiences in my life … now and always!

  39. Comment by laurahollick

    Hi MaziGrace, What do you need to let go of in order to let go of lack? Is it a thought, a belief, a habit, a relationship?

    The letting go will open the space for the abundance and joy you are seeking!

  40. Comment by Iris Ztarr

    I’m going to let go of trying to do everything by myself and allow the Universe to step in and help me whenever possible and appropriate. I’ve also recently let go of a friendship that turned out to be negative and damaging to me. I stood up for what I believed in and felt good for having done so. I want to let go of self doubt also and embrace the new, the uncharted and the creative in more aspects of my life.

  41. Comment by aishaladon

    While letting go of material things and bad habits have always been something I do on a regular basis, I have always struggled with letting go psychologically.

    I truly want to learn to let go of control. I want things to be done in a certain way in a certain amount of time, including the development of not only the space around me but my spiritual development and that of my family. In true submission to Allah(God) I desire to let go of control and simply just submit myself to his will in all things and be guided in growth and think positively in what ever outcomes me come.

    I am truly inspired by your video Laura. Often times I feel stuck with what I need next in my life. This is it. Thank you so much!

  42. Comment by Leanne

    Love this communal gathering of intention. I am letting go of all the things that I’ve been holding on to which limit me and keep me smaller than I need to be. This includes beliefs, habits, people and possessions. Time to create space to grow and allow and open :)

  43. Comment by Pamela Sellman

    It is amazing that I watched your Letting Go video this morning just after I was looking at the clutter in my house and thinking I need to clear out a lot of mess. I have a vision I want for my life, but I need to let go of the fear of not being good enough, and feeling that I need to be employed by someone else to have an income. I’m slowly moving towards my goals but I know I have a lot of letting go to do to allow future wonderful things to come into my life. I love your videos – they are so inspirational.

  44. Comment by Laurie

    This is exactly where I am right now….. I feel I have to release something and I am asking everyday for clarity on what it is I need to let go of!! I am on the journey with you Laura. It’s the time to up-level!! I feel like an earthquake…. There is a plate shifting inside that I can not ignore :-) thanks for addressing this and putting up your video! Tons of love to you as you release all that cardboard !!! Light and blessings

  45. Comment by Tracy

    This is so timely for me too, and especially after the amazing day I had on Soul Art Day! I’ve been doing some spring cleaning around the house, and it’s been good to let go of “stuff,” things not needed or used, or just no longer relevant to me & my husband’s current life. I’ve been so on with this my husband has caught on and we are making changes in our we use our space and making more room for our creative lives here at home. I’m also creating a new range of products for my Etsy shop to release this summer and shift out some old here. Also taking two courses this summer to get a better grip on my relationship to money and earning as an artist. Some exciting times! Looking forward to seeing where your letting go takes you, Laura. LOVE your inspiration videos–thank you! :o )

  46. Comment by Randi

    Perfectly timed message, Laura : ) Been holding on to old stuff way too long. Time to clean out the storage unit and your video gave me the nudge I needed. Thanks!

  47. Comment by Frida

    Funny I have been so sad lately and I have been feeling really confused, wanting to move back to the place were I grew up (wich is in different country) when I realise that I just have to let go and I have alot to let go of. Then I get your video;-) Talking about great timing;-) It seems a lot easier when we can all let go together;-) Thank you so much and great love.

  48. Comment by Katherine

    Wonderful Laura. I love to watch your videos and appreciate all the wisdom you share with us. I am so ready to let go of some things and now is the time. I am leaving one of my jobs and going to take that time to write, read and create! I am also going to clear out the clutter from my house-one room at a time-until it is open and spacious. I also want to clear the back pain and hurried attitude that prevents me from going outside and relishing nature more. Thank you!

  49. Comment by Wibke

    I am ready to letting go to live up to my own or other people’s expectations, my (self)judgments and trying to figure it all out. Now that’s alot… back to step one! ;)

  50. Comment by Nicole

    Laura, thank you for posing this challenge at this moment. I accept this challenge!

    My challenge: I am getting ready to shift into a really big life upgrade. This is requiring me to let go of nearly everything I own – physical things, old stories, my job, where I live, past traumas, etc. – the only thing that I can take with me is the wisdom from all those things. Where I land after all this is a mystery at the moment. One I’m willing to step into.

    Part One of this challenge was to let go of my current job. Last day will be May 11th. Part Two is sorting all my belongings in my apartment into my Jeep by May 31st. What doesn’t fit can’t go. Part Three is still being determined.

  51. Comment by Alison

    Thank you for the opportunity! I am letting go of being in control and fear that people won’t give me what I
    Want/need. I am also letting go of the idea that I am not fun to be around. Lastly I am letting go of the belief that it is hard to be my higher self.

  52. Comment by Carolyn

    I needed inspiration to let go of so much and your video is a great first step for me! I seem to hold onto EVERYTHING! I clip things out. I hold onto cards, letters, photos, ideas, memories….as I said…everything. I am going to truly begin purging the paper in my life so that I will be left with just what I need and then the only paper I will willingly hold onto will be for creative projects! Once I can manage that portion of my life…I think the rest will become easier. Thank you!!!!!!

  53. Comment by Marianna

    Dear All,

    I am glad for the company on this Journey!
    I am letting go of limiting beliefs about what I’m capable of. I am letting go of fear to disappoint my parents. I am letting go of self-doubts. I’m letting go of believing that life is a struggle and hard work. I’m letting go of the clutter and old piles of paper. I’m inviting in play. laughter, new friendships, creativity, adventure, discovery, pleasure and new possibilities!

    Blessing to everyone,
    Marianna

  55. Comment by Debbie G.

    Hi Laura,
    Inspiring video (as usual)and very in sync with my own recent realization that it’s time for me to let go of so much!
    Empty our basement, garage, and storage units (yes, I have all of those filled with stuff);
    Get rid of anything in my wardrobe that doesn’t present the urban chic me (and attractive wife) I want to be;
    Let go of fear and feelings of doubt and lack so I can raise my income back to the level it was when I felt more powerful, smarter, valuable…
    Have to go now… lots to do, lots of stuff to release :-)
    - Deb

  56. Comment by Jennifer, Your Writing Mentor

    Great video, Laura. I love those crushed boxes that aren’t going anywhere or getting much use in their current condition. I see anything worth letting go of as functioning like tons of cardboard begging to be recycled and out of the way. Unused stuff is called junk. For me, that “flattened box” would be a version of myself as “helpful” book mentor instead of “Your powerful collaborator in writing, publishing and marketing.” I love to encourage — rather than “help” — women who want to uncover their shadow-inclusive voice. Why? Because no saint is ever going to inspire me to “keep it real” nor will s/he make me laugh.

    ;~)

  57. Comment by Nicole Casanova

    Thanks Laura! Your work is so inspiring, and FUN, which is so important to me!
    I love letting go of stuff!
    I will take on your challenge whole-heartedly!
    I am willing to let go of living in a messy room! Woohoo!
    I am willing to let go of pushing men away, because “I need to focus on my work”.
    I am willing to let go of the need to DO anything. And relax..into my fullest and most joyful contribution of my gifts.*
    Big love to you.* XOOX

  59. Comment by Kelly Gill

    Laura, I always find your videos and work so inspiring. This one came at the perfect time as it’s something i’ve been thinking of for a while. I am planning on having a big declutter to get rid of lots of “stuff”, and plan to leave my part time job to pursue the career that I dream of. xx

  60. Comment by Lisa Reed

    I would like to let go of another 25% of what I own. I feel like living more austere will allow me to have more time to be creative. Love your site and am setting an intention to take your training!

  61. Comment by Maike

    I need to let go of old thinking patterns, particularly scarcity and “real job” thinking. I am finding that the moment I let go of certain monetary outcomes for my art, support and interest started flowing in.
    I am juggling a freelance job for income with my desire to set up an art business and the events and creative time that come with that. There is a lot of ‘either/or’ going on in my head, instead of integrating both into my life until I get to a stage where I can be 100% supported by my craft business.

  62. Comment by Janece

    Basically, I need to let go of the limiting belief that says the ways in which I want to spend my time are mutually exclusive from earning a good income. That I’ll have to ‘sacrifice’ a nice salary and benefit package to do what I love doing.

  63. Comment by Diana

    Thanks Laura, I feel that I let go to many times.
    We’ve moved 9 times in 6 years I would love to have everything I need in one place :)

  64. Comment by Buffy

    I need to let go of my past and let go the limiting feeling I have of being disabled.

  65. Comment by Brenda "B" Tate

    I must let go of my old way of thinking that everybody else comes before me.
    And that others have to approve, in order for it to be good!

  66. Comment by Maureen

    Self-criticism/self-doubt
    Feeling I need to know “everything” before I trust that I know enough to move forward with projects. What happens instead is that I start new projects and see few of them to completion.

  67. Comment by Nathalie Lussier

    Letting go is a huge theme for me right now too! Let go of business model that wasn’t serving me anymore, which includes letting go of some of my team (really just shifting the way we work together) and also letting go of the way I think about myself and my gifts in the world. Letting go of my old self. My old self image.

    It feels great but scary too!

  68. Comment by Buffy

    My Art Professor recommended I listened to this song when I mentioned you guys talking about Letting it Go.

    Buffy, thank you for introducing me to Abbey Lincoln, I wasn’t at all familiar with her genius.

    Ok… letting go of roles such as The Nice Girl and The Super Mom (and with that a possible matronizing others habit that is easy to get into as mom). Remembering that I can be authentically me AND have a different role with every person…

    letting go of my naughty Pile Monster. It always comes and creates piles of papers and stuff when I am taking leadership of my life but feel controlled by ‘having to do things’. So, my Pile Money Monster tries to control the control and ends up being controlled by its own piles. Instead: CLEAN + CLEAR + SIMPLE + YES + EASY!

    I AM LETTING GO and LETTING COME!!!

    Letting go of ”doing it right!” and embodying ”doing it FUN!”

    Letting go of ”everyone else’s needs are more important” and instead ”fulfilling my needs – including happy and plenty Monedas – with GUSTO… and (!) considering the needs of others!”

    Letting go of my creative Hermit-ude and magnetizing my soul family and friends for magical being, fun, fortune, fulfillment, co-creation, and HIGHER CALLING

    Shall we build a let-go-cart?

    Thank you all for showing up here in courage and beauty,

    xx Tanya

    Oh, this one is so important:

    Letting go of ”feeling stuck” and coming fully ALIVE with my own unique Spirit: I am FREE to enjoy Heaven on Earth – alone… and with all those I love and love to create with… and love to LAUGH a lot (!!) with. Yesss!

    (Wow! That one sent a little apprehension through my body, because this powerful intention is now in full motion – and under witnesses. Meaning that all that’s not that will now dissolve with love, grace, forgiveness, and EASE… and am also sensing some sound boundaries clicking into place :)

    OMG, that will be interesting to watch.

    Much gratitude for this opportunity, and it is also a privilege to witness you other beings into your greatness.

    xx Tanya

    PS … to the letting go of the role of Super Mom: I mean by that to balance it more with the other aspects of me, not in any way to diminish the love, laughter, and quality time and space that I have with my daughter. It is naturally shifting already anyway. Just to make sure, because I am aware that this could be taken all too literally. Thank God, we can always adjust and realign, if we don’t like what we created.

    … and with The Nice Girl… I will still be loving and compassionate, but not ‘nice’, when I don’t feel it :)

    I’m letting go of some of my old “stuff” so my home can be clear and ready for whatever nü energy wants to arrive!

    I love Shakaya Leone’s poem!
    I usually purge “stuff” on a monthly basis, and had recently created a dedicated yoga space in my apartment, therefore just finished a great deal of letting go of stuff…
    But after experiencing the art marathon and looking at what I could let go of now, I realise the challenge is from a deep level old ideas, concepts, patterns, fears… letting everything go… being naked, again.

    wording is everything, and my intentions from yesterday showed instant results some of which I didn’t like, and so I am setting a new intention overwriting the old one:

    I am not letting go of any particular role, but of limiting myself to only one or a few… instead, I will have fun slipping into whichever role makes me happy – and being human and being authentic and being embodied are roles too – really, really great ones :) all for the sake of my human experience.

    I am letting go of all limiting beliefs.

    I am letting go of stuff, too, for nü energy :) ) great idea, Kevin

    Laura you are a godsend, with heavenly timing!
    Spring cleaning in every way! Letting go of old patterns. Letting go of thinking creating and manifesting all need to happen in just 3 hours tops. Creating space to look around and envision what is needed and what can be given away. Thank you for your brilliant light.

    I am letting go of letting my ego make decisions instead of my Essence!

    I am letting go of shame.

    I am also going through a process of reinvention. I am letting go of all the material things that belonged to my old victim self, as I step into and embrace my authentic self, the woman who is creatrix of her life.

    I am willing to let go of untrue beliefs about my abilities, talents and intelligence;
    willing to let go of unforgiveness and resentment;
    willing to let go of toxic shame

    Am sure I could go on and on if I spent more time reflecting on this! It’s a very liberating experience:)

    Hello Laura,
    It’s great to be back on your website.
    This topic has been in the air for about a week or so, and I know I need to let go of the old to step into the new, as I am preventing myself from stepping into who I truly am. I discovered this weekend that I am still holding onto things which no longer serve me and that I don’t believe in who I am, and haven’t given myself the chance to truly be who I am in fear, and so I choose to let go of limiting beliefs which prevent me from going forward. That is the big one here.
    Thank you, this is really helpful at this moment in life.
    Hope you are well. :)
