Throwback Post: Creating and Letting Go

**THROWBACK POST**

September 22 2015

At 11:07 a.m. this morning I received a blessing via an email. An email that was all about life loving me. I created Turning Views Inc in 2008 and have done much through it. Last year I was not able to renew TVI due to lack of funds. At the time, it caused me great pain to let the deadline approach and slip by. Yet, I decided to connect with the emotions this brought up and with a peaceful heart released it … knowing that if I was able to renew at a later date, I could, and if I didn’t, that all was happening perfectly as it should.

This morning at 11:07 I received this email. It’s legitimate and from someone whom has been a dear friend to me in the past. TVI is sold now. I will connect with these sad feelings I’m having for fully releasing what I created and know that once I’ve connected with them and let go, I’m gonna be wowed with what’s up for me next. Now. With a grateful heart, I shall take Team TLC out to dinner to celebrate. Life loves me … and life loves you. xoxo

Here’s to creating and letting go of those creations. Making way for new creations. Nothing ever really ends. It just changes form. xoxo

Celebratory walk around the lake after the celebration dinner. So beautiful … xoxo

January 24 2012: Green Card and Library and Celebrating

Thomas lost his green card in the last few minutes of class today. Poor guy was devastated! Each child gets a green card at the end of class for staying on the green light during class. After they’ve collected 30 green cards they get to choose an item from the treasure box.

His teacher and I have an additional layer also. Each morning I text Mrs. O’Connor with what Thomas is earning for keeping his green card. Sometimes, it’s getting to stay after school and go to Kids Zone, sometimes an extra five minutes before bed, sometimes a special sucker. This method is working great; but he does still stumble. Usually on a Monday or after having been on break for an extended period of time.

His day got much better though! After we dropped Lillian off for her therapies we visited the Sparks Library. Discovered yesterday it’s only five minutes from the therapy center! I’ve been sitting in my car all this time working and I could have been at the library! YAY!

We collected Team Member L at 4:00 and headed straight to his first acting class at Take 2 Performers Studio! This child was so excited, he could hardly stand it! The kids got to be spies on the way to the classroom. Took a quick picture before I left!

I was informed by Thomas when picking him up from acting class that we had to celebrate his first night of acting class. I hadn’t been prepared for that, was ready to get home and only had six dollars. I was hoping the bakery on the way to our house was still open, but it wasn’t. Only other places were McDonald’s and Subway. So we stopped at Subway, got a footlong BMT and a double chocolate chunk cookie and he was one happy kid! Here’s to you kid! I LOVE YOU!
