“Letting Go”

People tell me “let it go”, they also say “let him go”. Words so easily said and yet so very hard to do.

I’m in Bimini. This tiny island in the Bahamas is a place that has always brought me peace. All my memories here are good ones. My two boys grew up soaking this sun and surf; boating, fishing, talking to the fun and interesting Bimini locals that throughout the years became friends. It was a great growing experience in every sense.

I now find myself getting “our” place ready to sell. I have to let it go. It’s time. Its time has passed for us. Circumstances have radically changed in our lives; and even though we love it, the time has come to make room for the new things, new places, and new people to come into our lives.

Change always brings with it the new and exciting… this I know!

The parallel to “let him go” is amazing and very true. People can be like places in life. He feels like home to me. Cozy, warm, and completely comfortable to be with. However, just like my island nest, I also must release him. Just like Bimini, the memories will stay with me deeply lodged in my heart’s memory forever.

So, it’s with a heavy heart that I say goodbye to him and to this beautiful Bahamian little nest, knowing, with faith and hope, that new adventures await me.
