If you are ever wanting a message, turn and look at nature. If you just just slow down and wait a moment I am confident that you will get one.

It had been a week….. You know what I mean. It had been a week where I felt bruised and beaten. I was ok with it, transition can be uncomfortable sometimes. Life has a funny way of throwing everything at you all at once. I was trying to breath, meditate and ground through the transition and uncomfortableness.

I am a huge believer in asking for a sign or a message and then waiting for it, knowing that it will show up. I asked and only moments later I walked out the front door. I was walking the kids up the driveway to wait for the bus. It was something that I loved. I have a long driveway and the walk felt like a bridge between home and school. It was a place to transition and it always felt good.

I turned the corner from my brick path to the driveway and just like that I got my message. The Sugar Maple trees that lovingly line my driveway were in their own state of transition, much like myself. I hadn’t noticed their change and their transition, but as I took the first couple of steps down the driveway a leaf fell. I looked up. Even this strong, mighty tree knew when to let go and release. In the event that I had missed it, another leaf fell and I heard clearly “let go”. The beautiful Sugar Maple tree will give a display of vibrance and passion with the change in color of its leaves and then….. then it let’s go. It drops them. It releases them. It doesn’t hold on. It knows that releasing and protecting its own energy is natural and important.

And so, I let go!
