"If you wish to travel far and fast, travel light. Take off all your envies, jealousies, unforgiveness, selfishness and fears." 

                                              ~ Cesare Pavese   

We know that these things burden us and hold us back. But, perhaps it has not been easy to let go.  

Consider this:

Imagine in front of you a large old suitcase, overstuffed. In order to travel first class to your dream destination, you need to bring only a small, ultralight one.

With the help of a kind and expert travel guide, you readily see just what you need to travel with comfort. With gratitude and joy, you're willing to leave behind all the rest.

The process has been so pleasant that the guide then helps you clean and organize your closets, and, in fact, departs with all that you no longer need from your entire home to recycle it. 

With a sense of lightness and hope, let's turn within for the loving guidance that is always at our core, listen, and let go as best we can. 

With compassion,
Charlene
