Letting go of hope....

There is a lot of talk about holding onto hope…. But what does it mean to let go of it?

For me these past few weeks have all been about letting go of hope - hoping that things would change, hoping for more, hoping for connection, hoping for the truth, hoping that I would be acknowledged or even thought about by people who will never see me for who I truly am. (Even though I so desperately wanted them to!)

This ‘hope’ has had me ‘hold on’ for decades. Holding onto things that in no way served me. Decades of waiting, of being misunderstood, rejected, made wrong, manipulated and kept in my place.

I have healed so many layers of ‘I am not good enough’ over the years but this time these types of relationships are not good enough for ‘me’! And my heart is screaming ENOUGH!

So much truth has been revealed, truth that I can’t ever un-see. And with this truth comes grief.

Grief for what I was hoping for but will never have. Grief for the role I played for way too long. Grief for the ones that will never feel the depths of my love for them. Grief for my healing journey (it has been a long one!) and grief for my inner child who has conquered so much.

Letting go of ALL of this has been intense but the unwavering strength I feel by rising above it all, standing in my truth and returning to my sovereignty is so freeing. Actually it’s more than that, it’s liberating!

Who would have thought that letting go of hope would have so many gifts…

Are you letting go of something BIG right now? Share it with me in the comments, there is so much power in writing it out and declaring your truth.

Much love,
