SURRENDER



What a big word huh?

Just seeing it makes you question, hesitate, resist.
What do we think we are giving up?
Is it control?
Is it loss of control?
Is it an act of believing something has greater will than we do?

Are we revealing that which we think is a secret when we "surrender"?

Could we be relinquishing something that is or that we perceive as power?

I have come to learn that surrender is a good thing.
Doing it without expectation of what comes next is satisfying.

Therefore, it is not I surrender because X or Y will happen.
It is in fact the truth that I surrender because I can and the ability to just do that is what it is to really harness one's power.

Surrender. Do it now.


It is for me ...picking up my camera and heading out to point it at whatever I see in the world. TODAY

I have not done that in too long. I love my own photography.

It is dancing on the street without the permission of a street festival and with a friend who feels old and necessary while the rhythm is brand new.

It is liking the work I do and the people I do it with. Seeing it rich with possibility because I come in each day with new eyes and that so do they.

These are the gifts of surrender. I get all of this ...because I did, I do, ..you could too.

SURRENDER.

LETTING GO....

  L-E-T-T-I-N-G    G-O You have seen these words before..yes? Very simply written in nine letters. “L e tting  go .” Why does it make you uncomfortable?  It is simply an action that you as a human being experience every single day, just by physically and chemically existing.  It is an action that occurs when you have complete trust in your intuition ; that heaven sent voice inside of you. You know the one you may not always agree with, but the angels are so fond of you ..they send it into your ears, head, heart , and sometimes your eyes? If you are reading this your eyes open and they shut very quickly ..it is called "blinking" but in fact it is letting go and it happens very quickly. As we blink old light goes away and we allow new light to come in …seeing the next moment. As you turned on your computer or device you may have pressed a button, touched the screen, flipped a switch. As you clicked on your mouse, stroked and released keys on the k...

The Things I will do Before You Are Gone....

Fully aware of how precious life is and remembering the tender, exciting and amazing muses that I have been blessed and no doubt favored to know.. I wrote this list. Enjoy it. Create a life you love. The Things I will do Before You Are Gone.© By Adrienne Wallace (June 2008) 1) I will tell you, "I love you more than anything ...except GOD." 2) I will squeal with delight when you have achieved something new or gotten more of what makes you happy. I will stay as you pursue your delight and be a part of you capturing it. 3) I will steal your pillowcase when you are out of the room and replace it with a fresh one. I will put the one I steal on my pillow so I can smell your essence when I nap or sleep. 4) I will hold your hand even if you were 'just my manicurist' and look into your eyes and say "Thank You"... Maybe you're touching hands all day, but I want you to remember that mine appreciates yours. They are so warm 5) I will wish you t...

Where Did It Go? The question that comes when ownership is lost.

" Where Did It Go? " This is a common question asked about time, goodness, old regimes, and old relationships, memory and other than that... money and misplaced keys. Where did it go? We hear this amongst those of us who have not set a strategy and intention for what we have. This also the question that comes particularly from those of us who become all too confident in what we have but do not own. Ownership of one's talent,work, innovation, relationships and contribution is either an old or new concept in many places. What is encouraging is the ability to list our criteria for ownership and then be honest about what we truly own. Here are a few that I was thinking of today: Ownership of material things - You paid for it , don't owe anything for it to anyone Ownership of relationships - You tell the truth, engage with grace, and express mutual respect without excuses or references to what does not apply to the person you are relating to Ownership of innovation -...
