First of all..I want to give props to
Tara Gentile of
Scoutie Girl for the basis of this post. I took a creativity course from her af ew months ago, and this quote has just followed me around ever since. It resonated with me, it fit with where I am in my life.
"You must give up the life you planned, in order to live the life that is waiting for you."
Joseph Campbell
Aren't we all a little guilty of too much control? I know I can be. Especially since starting
Sugar.
Actually, maybe it's gotten a bit worse since then. I've felt the need to have a plan, for everything, sometimes feeling out of control if I didn't. One of the hardest things for me to give up was well..doing everything. When
Sugar got to the point that I just couldn't produce EVERYTHING by myself, I had to start looking for help. And boy, letting go of seeing every single stitch made wasn't pretty. I'm sure my wonderful, fabulous, awesome seamstress' had times where they wanted to tell me to shut up! Or yes Caroline, for the 100th time...I GOT IT!
It took time for me to get to the point of letting go with that area of my life, but I did..and it has made me stop and look at other areas that need letting go of. (Is Colin ever going to hit the clothes hamper????)
So, again Thank You
Tara! Because everyday that I remember that quote, I learn to let go a little bit more, learn to take the time to look around and see what's "in store" for me.
