Letting go…
It means accepting that I can’t control much of what is going on in my life.
Accepting that I don’t have all the answers and sometimes don’t know the right choices to make.
A chapter is ending in that area of our life.
As with most things when a chapter closes another one starts
(whether we like it or not)
The unknown of this new chapter is scary but exciting.
I plan to embrace the newness of being free from cancer treatments and let go of the fear of it returning.
Letting go is hard – keeping perspective about your life is essential especially when you are faced with change.
I come from the school of thought that “it can always be worse”.
Occasionally, this can be to my detriment but generally this mindset keeps me grounded.
So if you are conflicted in areas of your life and need to “let go” of someone or something know that you are not alone.
Tons of us are facing hard choices, difficult times and uncertainly in our life.
These are all part of our “shoe story”. We all have one and each and every day we add more to our “shoes of life”. What matters most is how we walk in the “shoes of life”.
How adversity affects us. Do we let it control us or do we take the initiative and find the good; see the blessings for what they are.
I know that I will make it – whatever this life hands me I will be okay. (and so will you)
I have a positive yet realistic attitude, a good support system and the desire to walk in my shoes of life with grace. Even the letting go shoes.

My name is Catherine and I am a wife, mother to 3 small people, a runner, author and speaker. I will bring you simple, healthy ideas that will enable you to cope with the (big and small) stresses of life. I think it is important to realize that we may not choose the shoes we wear, we do have to learn to “walk” in them and should try and make the best of them.
