The French Connection of Letting Go
|
Reader you've heard the saying, "You have to let go to receive." ...which sounds completely ridiculous. Not only does it not make sense, try acting on this theory - which is NOT acting, by the way. In case you haven't tried it - it is NOT easy. Shaking Things UP & Letting Things GoI'm doing something different this week. I'm sending a short email with a couple of highlights that, if you're interested, you can click through to read more on. I really hate getting long, wordy emails. I will typically save them to read later, but never do. If that's you - I feel you. So here's this week's email summary. You can click through to read all about the Serendipity in Savannah if you'd like. Letting Things (Control) GoGiving up the need for control is a BIG conversation, much bigger than this email. Trusting and letting go of the need for control takes time and practice and it's also the BIG lesson I learned after retiring and the lesson that prompted me to write the 6 Phases of Life After Career. Letting Go in SavannahBut, giving up the need to control can bring you so much happiness and fulfillment - in big and small ways. While it's not easy to do, letting go of the need to control a sightseeing visit in Savannah, manifested a brilliant, 24-hours of serendipity that included a lovely Parisian-esque cafe, coming full circle with Provence after 20 years, and making new friends from Bordeaux. I still have chills. The universe is amazing if you let it unfold. You still have responsibility to do your part. But letting go of the need for control will change you and your life for the better. THIS is the way I will live my Next Chapter. If you want to read about the Serendipity in Savannah, you can go here. Oh, and by the way, if you haven't already, you WILL want to block out May 22, 23, & 24 on your calendar for "Don't Retire! ReWIRE", a 3-day virtual women's circle, retreat. Letting Go is just one of many topics we'll be talking about & practicing together and individually. You will want to be there. More details coming the first week of May. Thank you, as always for reading. Just hit reply to this email with questions. xoxo Lynnelle "Letting Go" Wilson PSS - If you're not already part of our private Facebook Group, please join us!

Hi! I'm Lynnelle!
Chief Cheerleader and Guide of the BOLD-Women Community.
Hey there Reader, Yesterday I talked with a friend for the first time in years. After we caught up with the small talk, she dove into what I believe was her real motivation for calling. She said she was scrolling through one perfect life after another. Sarah posting about her 'dream retirement' in Italy; Jennifer sharing her perfect morning routine; Maria launching her third successful business... "Meanwhile", she said, "I'm sitting in my pajamas wondering what to do with my Tuesday." Here's...
Hi Reader, Here's a question for you, as we Americans are gearing up for our Independence Day celebration. (Yes. I fly my flag here in France.) An American in France When is the last time you took an inventory of your life values? Not the standard "kindness, understanding, and world peace" auto-responses. But the true values that guide your life choices and actions, when no one is looking. I won't go down the red and blue road with this subject, although I encourage us all to do some...
Hey Reader, A woman emailed me last week saying she was interested in Wayfinding but that she was "not really a group person." She'd rather figure things out on her own timeline, maybe read some books, and work on herself privately. I get the resistance to joining a group, being vulnerable with strangers. I’m an introvert and I do understand. But here's what I've learned: personal transformation is hard. Doing it alone makes it exponentially harder. Why community accelerates everything: You...
