I had no idea that it existed. I just discovered it today, so I have some poking around to do. I work, each and every day, with the idea of Letting Go. Through interviewing people and posting their stories, my goal is to inspire and encourage others to Let Go to what they're holding on to that may not be serving them well.<br /><br />Thank you for sharing.<br /><br />With love,<br />LeslieLeslie Greenhttp://www.trustlifetoday.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3027534132693377698.post-30926070473738999582011-04-09T13:06:52.537-04:002011-04-09T13:06:52.537-04:00You are one hot, sexy momma :)

I did think you were "au natural" for the picture. :) And I thought, wow, she's really embracing the spirit of the letting go challenge!<br /><br />I read another post too, the one with the giveaway, and then I thought, maybe she's wearing a cute little sundress like in the giveaway. And I thought it was so funny you were giving away a sundress when you're stuck in the house with three sick kids!<br /><br />Like you are subconsciously thinking about freedom, being outside, taking healthy and happy kids to the beach...<br /><br />Hope they feel better soon!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3027534132693377698.post-32096129601713480892011-04-07T11:22:14.266-04:002011-04-07T11:22:14.266-04:00You are so right about this!
