"Relinquished Strongholds"

DF: 8

Most of which holds us back can be found within our own thought process. An action or a seed that was initially planted and never uprooted winds up growing into a huge stronghold, resembling the appearance of a great redwood tree.

Over time we nourish that seed until it flourishes into our need; even though it is the LAST thing THAT we need.

The appearance of our bondage is not necessarily visible to the naked eye. We dress our reality in garments that rival those of Fashion Week, hoping to garner strength that only disguises the fact that we are weak.

The strongholds of these redwoods are relative to whatever you struggle with on a daily basis. Any type of addiction, depression, self-loathing, anger, confusion, darkness or ambiguity, all pose risks to our continued sanity.

May we relinquish that which holds us back!

May we relinquish and break free from our internal slavery.

May we maximize and not minimize our worth by not equating it with sex.

May we relinquish all of the strong holds that are holding us back, blocking our Blessings and doing their best to destroy us by tearing us apart, one stitching at a time, over the long period of time that we refuse to address them.

May we never tire from removing the "Relinquished Strongholds" from our lives, so that we may finally begin to live!

God, Love, and Smile Always!
