The past

It has had a hold on the present for awhile. It is the addictions to the good old days, the childhood lost, the woulda, coulda, shouldas. I know I see it drag people back through it again and again with their drama and regrets. Reliving the past completely controls the present. So in honor of the gift of today, choose something new. Say a blessing, eat a new way, compliment a competitor, go a different route to where ever you go, what ever  you do, be there in the moment and smile. It is an amazing way to open the new chapter we all desire. The pain of loss leaves, the shame of mistakes diminishes and the love of life is reborn on earth in and through the people. I, for one, am all in. Namaste'
