Is it Time to Let Go?

How many unhealthy relationships will we experience before we wise up, realizing we are only hurting ourselves by staying in them? It is experienced multiple times through friends, family and even myself years ago with crippled insecurity. We endure unhealthy relationships that practically drags us through the mud so to speak just so we can keep up the image of a happy union. While some of us may find the courage to leave for good as I did, others return for a second or third helping. They are bedazzled with promises of a new beginning only to end up with more heart ache and pain. Relationships are never easy and I'm not saying by no means that we should jump ship at the first sign of trouble waters. But what if the boat is sinking. Should we stay on board and drown? If you and your significant other have tried unsuccessfully to work things out, going as far as getting outside help and things haven't change... or change for the moment only to return to its unbearable present state. Then it may be time to let go. Life is too short to constantly be burden down with bitterness and strife. Letting go may be the best thing you both can do for each other. Of course it won't be easy, frankly it may be one of the hardest thing you'd ever had to do. But when all is said and done, you both will be a more healthier and happier person with piece of mind and a better outlook on life. And that in itself will be well worth it.

How Much Junk Are You Carrying Around?



HOW MUCH JUNK ARE YOU CARRYING AROUND?

We are always getting rid of stuff. It would be hard-pressed on Saturday mornings not to find numerous Yard Sale signs scattered about like lilies in a field. Sellers are seeking to rid themselves of things that are no longer wanted or needed. Clothing once adored is now out-dated, or either too big or like some of us baby boomers too small due to our muffin top waistline. Other sellers maybe seek to unload furniture that was once treasured only to be replaced by new modern pieces. Be it toys, gadgets, pictures or bedding the whole idea is to get rid of items making room for new things to take their places.
 If only we could do the same thing for our most precious possession…our heart.  If we took the time to take inventory of what is filling it up with unnecessary things such as anger, hate, jealousy, bitterness, and selfishness. Not to mention harboring grudges that hinders us from having relationships with others. Getting rid of these things will leave our heart light and free leaving space for kindness, patience, caring, joy and forgiveness. So when we are out looking for the best bargain or precious find look beyond the physical items and with our hearts free from the junk we once carried we will have room for what really matters in life.

Dark Side of Love 





EXCERPT FOR DARK SIDE OF LOVE

The trio howled as they ran through the thick forest as fast as lighting. It was mid-night. A full moon guided their path as they headed up the hill towards the castle, a night of terror for the human race. The trio had fetched a total of sixty hearts and forty livers, not bad for a single night. They took from the young as well as the old catching them off guard as they travelled to and fro while others slept peacefully in their beds. Now, they made their way back to the river.

At the edge, they threw their prizes down and went into transition. Fur became skin and paws became hands as they returned to an upright position. They retrieved their clothing which had been hidden behind a tree a few feet away along with an ice chest. The leader of the trio gathered their loot and placed everything into the chest. Two men and a woman left the woods carrying the chest.
This is a dark read that will keep you in suspense until the very end.
