Even though you may want to move forward in your life, you may have one foot on the brakes. In order to be free, we must learn how to let go. Release the hurt. Release the fear. Refuse to entertain your old pain. The energy it takes to hang onto the past is holding you back from a new life. What is it you would let go of today?-Mary Manin Morrissey

How do I change?If I feel depressed I will sing. If I feel sad I will laugh. If I feel ill I will double my labour. If I feel fear I will plunge ahead. If I feel inferior I will wear new garments. If I feel uncertain I will raise my voice. If I feel poverty I will think of wealth to come.If I feel incompetent I will think of past success. If I feel insignificant I will remember my goals.

I looked up and I saw the victims of the hurricanes Katrina and Rita receiving assistance from the American Red Cross people while the song BRIDGE OVER TROUBLED WATER was being played in the background. The ARC is the bridge but the bridge will not be there without the people contributing to its mission. So
