Because I’m Happy
Just How Happy is Happy?
And is enough happiness enough?
Is too much happiness too much?

Think straight?
How many times have you heard, or said the expression “I can’t even think straight!”?
This question does not have a simple answer.
There are a zillion factors that affect our attitudes and vulnerability to include what we have inherited to what we have picked up along the way.
This conversation has been going on for centuries, and general consensus boils down to everything is within our control. To fly, or remain in place, be happy or miserable, achieve success or failure, enjoy good health or not… are choices we make.
What is holding you back?
Weighing you down?

I didn’t rail against society and its conventional standards. I longed to be seen as ‘normal’. My valiant attempts to ‘change’ and be like ‘them’ never worked.
I stood out.
I stood apart.

The act of letting go of an addiction … self-love at its finest.
Letting go of an unhealthy relationship … again, self- love and deep love for the person you are releasing.
However, in my experience the greatest act of letting go is mustering up the strength, putting on a brave face and encouraging our loved one to let go, so they may become free from disease, decline, and suffering. We gather round, our hearts aching, and hold the space in which they will transition to their new life, assuring them they are free to discard their bodies and fly high.
