Letting Go

Good morning!!!!

So today: August, the 13th, 2011, is the first day of this blog. It's not quite the day my baby blog was born, but rather the day I get to take my beautiful baby blog home and start the rest of my eternity being a proud Blogger Mama. Today marks first day of mine and my baby blog's long and joyous lives together!

To celebrate this joyous day, I was oh-so-pleasantly awoken to alarming sound of my baby blog crying out to me! And as any responsible Blogger Mama would agree, it is not the least bit wise to just so easily ignore the poor sound of your eager little baby blog calling out to you and pull the covers over your head! No, no, NO! You must leap out of bed in the most heroic way possible, stereotypically throw your hands to your hips, then intensely dash off to your hungry bundle of joy. (Even if it is 7:00 on a Saturday morning...)*MMS...

(As you can see, the following is {braced}. I do this because I don't want to make you sit through paragraphs of me rambling about my beautiful baby blog and my wonderful adventures through Blogger Mama-hood if you don't want to. All of the bolded is everything that is absolutely, 100%, life or death, FATALLY IMPERATIVE that you know right now at this exact moment and no later. SO I won't delay you any longer.)

{Saturday morning, 7:00. So my mama (my bebe's grand-blogger) has an intent desire to better herself with every step she takes, of every day she walks this earth, with every inspirational juice she can get out of anything. Beautifully wise in so many ways, I'm so lucky to have her as my mom :) Well this morning I awoke to this video she had found on The Facebook that related life to a boat. This video talks about the wakes of a boat. So unless you are a boat fanatic, this should not be an average term in your vocabulary! The wake of the boat is the jet stream of white water that gets left behind after the boat passes. Now, I specifically use the term "gets left behind" because the wakes resemble the past. Our past. As the boat moves on from the spot it was previously in, it leaves behind it's past, instead of taking it with and letting it weigh the boat down. What this video is basically eluding to is that- like a boat- we should move on from our past. Let it go, move on, and don't look back.}

Now I am not relating anyone to a boat! Please: if you are going to take anything from this very first celebratory blog, it's not that! But as the start of a beautiful new thing, we have to somehow move things around, take things out, whatever you need to do to make room for it. Because let's face it: you are probably going to get more progression in your life taking things out and moving new things in, as opposed to keeping everything the same and not moving in any direction at all- that's how the "What am I doing with my life?" syndrome happens. Bottom line, there will be no room for anything new, if it's cluttered by our pasts. See where I'm getting at? We can't move forward if we are still holding onto our pasts. One door has to close before another one opens. Come on, guys I am throwing golden life lessons at you here!

So as the beginning of my eternity with my beautiful baby blog begins, I am letting go of my wakes and moving forward. I invite all of you (all of you one or two people reading this) to jump on the bandwagon and join the massive breakdown of our pasts. Let's let go of the old and make room for a new change and new progression in our lives!!

Keep Moving Forward,
