					<description>Hello there, 
I am letting go because some of my old habits are no longer helping me along, and I need that space to learn fresh habits, so that each and every day I am honest to who I really am, and making conscious decisions to shape my days (a little late commenting here ~ thank you for getting me to think about this,  e.)</description>

					<description>Hey gorgeous mermaid lady - so funny, I got my rock today from your sweet self and it was a beautiful orange stone of fabulousness with the words 'letting go' 

It was perfect timing Miss M as I was so much wanting to let go of my need for perfection, and instead work at being splendidly imperfect and celebrating my fabulousity - it was like you sent me permission, then I found today's post and was like, 'alright already, I get it, I get it!'

Thank you for being a super-talented lady of loveliness in the world...

Love and pink glitter sparkles...

					<description>Im letting go of my fear of being perfect. The days of perfection are not about how great my body looks,  especially......how does my butt look, how perfectly coiffed my hair is, are my nails painted, toes? is my make up cakey? Do I have spinach in my teeth from my greek egg breakfast? NO! These things are not what makes me perfect. What makes me perfect is how I feel on the inside. Today I looked in the mirror and the fear of perfection creeped in again. So today I am letting go of perfection on the outside and feeling blessed for the perfection on the inside. Being proud of raising a beautiful daughter, having a wonderful family close by, having and making new friends, being lucky enough to enjoy the work I do and the people I work with, happy that my health is coming back, my hair is growing back, my grandparents are being taken care of and its a sunny day in Encinitas. Today is my idea of a perfect day. I love myself. Thanks for blogging McCabe. You reminded me of whats important. Love &#38; Light ~A</description>

					<description>I am letting go because my way wasn't working.  It wasn't just how I was trying to do it, it was about how I thought of it.  I no longer need to think of it the way I did, so I'm letting it go.  Thank you for asking. :)

Luv, luv, luv ~
