The Most Powerful Thing You Can Do

Go ahead.

Say it outloud.

Write it down.

Say thank you.

And then let it float away.

What do you need to let go of today?  What one shot can you take today to say goodbye?  What one view can you capture to usher in the start of something new?

Show us what's in your lens today.  Sometimes it's the most powerful thing you can do.

Your thoughts caught me.
Why do we have bothersome fears that's like excess baggage?

[sebrina]

Oh yes I need to let that go!!! I'm glad to know I am not the only one who feel this way!

Oh my, another timely post. My son is 14 and I am slowly realizing that he will be leaving me one day, that's he not my little boy anymore. I don't know how I'm going to let go. I posted this today,

It's hard to let things go but it must be done now and then. I think it's time for me to search inside and let go of a couple of things i've endeavored not to think about.

i posted a couple of days ago about just this. why am i afraid to step it up??

I'm always taken aback when I realize how alike we all really are. People that seem to really have it all together, that seem so confident and strong... have the same fears I do. There is such comfort in knowing I'm not alone.

Namasté,

Carmen

Letting go of the fear. The worry. And just doing what I need to do. Release.

Ahhhh . . . I've truly been struggling with this one this week. I'm finally facing that fear and taking a leap, though! Scary but exciting all the same.

Here's my post from Monday, if anyone wants to join me in the leap:

I really really really really REALLY want to let go of the sadness seen here....it's not me. It's not healthy.

I know this. Those around me know it.

But it's so hard when that sadness has such a tight grip.

Oh, and fear of not being good enough. That's wrapped up in there, too. Thanks for that shot.

sometimes it's hard to let go. We're all different, of course ... for me I have been tormented since my Mother died nearly two years ago. Not a day goes by, that I don't think a great deal about her, about things I could have done better, about what I should have shown her more of -- and less of, about her dying all alone. I don't know how to let go of the torment. Perhaps this may help me think of how to do that, if I'm ready ...

There is something wonderful happening to my soul. Something beautiful, warm and exciting. This morning I ushered in thoughts of hope with this lovely comfort...

I have a huge fear of not finishing what I start. I have countless journals, books and projects that I have began and never finished. The crazy thing is they are things that I truly enjoy and I don't understand why I don't complete them. There is this thing deep down in me that doesn't believe that I deserve to complete it. I realize it robs me of so much joy. Here is the link to my new blog that I just began - this is a sort of therapy for me to prove to myself that I can stick with something I enjoy.

I struggle every single day with time, not enough time, time moving too fast, my timing, other people's expectations of my time. my own expectations... i'm too slow, they're too fast. i'm getting older, everyone seems so young.

i love this invitation. the most powerful thing you can do is...

for me that would be to let go of time, release it, bless myself and be free.

I was made redundant in December, and thought that a summer of doing anything I pleased would be perfect.

But I realise that there needs to be a balance. I can't play all the time. I need to work in order to appreciate the play.

Giggling because if I tried that with the closest water source, it would just come back to me
and then go away
and then come back
and then go away
and then come back

Just hangin' around at my feet, not wanting to leave.

And I think I'd wonder what that meant. :)

...fear that I won't see my sweet grandbabys soon. My daughter is mad at me and has stomped off saying I will never see her Or her children again. I constantly try to put it out of my head..and heart...and it's so hard. I've never felt so helpless.

funny I just tweeted about that subject last night- must must must try to let it go. I am good enough!

[Grey Street Girl]

I have so many fears. I may have to do one a day for a week. :)

I posted a blog committing to do it though. This is such an awesome idea.

I would need to let go a little of this huge love:

This is an older shot of mine...since I'm laid up after ankle surgery, I'm lacking new pictures to my stream. When I took this shot and when I come back to it, I see hope.

Hope for tomorrow.
Hope for something better.
Hope for self-confidence.
Hope for KNOWING that I will always be good enough.

A wonderful post today Shutter Sisters...thank you.

As a newer "photographer" with a newer camera, I've been facing a little bit of fear of photography itself. Yesterday, I truly just let go and clicked as I explored my city. I was laying on the ground, climbing over things, whatever it took to get the picture I wanted, the picture I saw in my mind. It was an amazing feeling to just click without fear.

http://aliandsethinthecity.blogspot.com/2009/02/bridge-of-my-heart.html

I hope my fearless clicking continues!

[imthiaz houseman]

letting go of my fear, but hoping my nervousness of clicking will never go away. this could have helped me so much on tuesday, but better late than never.

[Jen May]

Great shot and message :)

hey,
your pic and suggestions make me think of a GREAT book "Women who run with wolves".
