Hey girls!
I just got done with this book called Prospering Woman. It’s an old book but still very relevant today. Anyway, it reminded me of some things I think I had pushed to the corners of my mind. It’s all about how to be a ‘prospering woman’- whatever that is for you. One thing she talked about was how we need to let go of things, i.e., baggage, to make room for our forthcoming success/blessings/whatever you call it.
And I kinda had a light bulb moment. I have a theory about why my life is not exactly how I want it to be[and for the record, I don't really feel outside circumstances, i.e., the recession, necessarily has to affect me.] For example, my career. I haven’t fully let go of my old job/beliefs about jobs and what I can do. I still work in Athens [2 more days! = ], most of my belongings were still in Athens, and I’m feeling pressure to find a “real” job. What does that say to the Universe/God? To me, it says I’m holding on to Athens and this job I have at the moment, and I’m holding on to the belief/idea that I need another job to sustain me for a while. I’m saying that I don’t think I can make it as a full-time freelancer- right now.
Well, now I’m changing my thought process…my pastor preached on Sunday that faith is not believing something will happen, but knowing it can happen. So, I know I can make full-time money writing right now. And I don’t need another job- some might call me crazy, but I call me prosperous. And I can honestly say I’m starting to feel better about leaving this job and town and moving on. I feel like I’m closing a chapter in my life. And a fresh, new one starts at the beginning of a new month, no less. However, I won’t say that I haven’t or won’t feel discouraged by outsiders, but I will push it all to the side.
What’s the point of me writing this? I just want you to know, sometimes you have to let go of old, safe and comfortable things and prepare yourself for some bigger and better blessings in your life. And I hope that’s what you take away from this post.
Ciao bellas!

Hey Chica! I love that you are still following your dreams and breaking out of that comfort zone. It can be really tough to let go of what you know…I should apply this to certain aspects of my life too. Thanks for sharing
So true girly! I am learning this as well. BTW…you can totally make it as a freelance writer. Don’t let the outside forces get to you because there will always be haters. Just make up in your own mind that if you know that this is what God has for you then you are going to go forward with that! I totally feel you to the fullest on this because I go through it too. But it will happen for you. I believe in you! Just let go so that God can give you so much more! :O)
I’m glad you like it, hon! And yes, you should definitely apply to aspects of your life.
Love ya, chica! : )
Thanks, Autumn! I know I can make it but sometimes outsiders kind of get into my head- I have to let that stop bothering me though. I’m going to do this, girlie!
