What a powerful list . . . I could feel myself breathing easier as I read through it! I am not sure what I let go of, but after reading it my shoulders were less tense and I was more relaxed. Gosh, I am going to bookmark this for future use!
Yay Mindy! I’m so glad it helped. I’m sure I’ll be re-reading this post many times as well.
Love it! And I did notice you said FEEL three times…important one. That’s what it’s all about, isn’t it?
Thanks for the permission!
Good eye Dana. I intentionally put that in there 3 times, because it is SO important to FEEL! You’re welcome!
Today I awoke to the utter joy and happiness of release.
A release that I was awaiting.
Not that it was over-due.
Actually, it was right on time.
Not that the time was important, the feeling of release was.
It’s honoring, respecting, and giving myself permission to rejoice in the release.
Ahhhh.
Love this Blaze. And so poetic!
a wonderful list… thanks, Katie!
You are welcome Marybeth!
Permission. For all you want to do and don’t want to do… to feel into it and test, try, trust. All beautifully articulated. I love the end in particular… it reminds me of my freshman year at school when we were given a buttons in school colors that said “Be You” (my school was BU).
Ha, love that Sally!
Love this, Katie! Definitely gonna give myself permission to try lots of new things, to fail big time, to do more of what works for me and chuck the rest. Aaah, love the sound of that
Ohh, FAIL. I missed that one. Thanks for adding that An!
Katie… I love when you tell me what to do.
Lin- Hee hee, if only.
Perfect! I think we all need this permission slip now and again.
Joanna, use it as often as you’d like.
Thanks for reading!
What a wonderful post! Give yourself permission to “feel” so needed. We are so busy with our everyday life that we forget to “feel” – powerful. Thanks Katie.

Thanks for reading Yvette. I forget to feel a little too often, so it’s a great reminder for me!
What a fabulous list!
I give myself permission to be honest.
Honesty, of course! Another one I missed. Permission to be honest with ourselves is a great one. Thanks Debra!
