Becoming the Gentle Observer: Letting Go, One Supportive Choice at a Time

Dear Land Loved, This question is really about letting go. Letting go of story, of righteousness (even when we have been wronged), past relationships, traumatic events, actual stuff, misalignments.. I'm so hard on myself (and then others… need to give more grace and have better fault tolerance) I can do better. I have noticed this difficulty on letting go and trusting the magic because I've lost a lot of trust in myself.. I get to a better place and then can't seem to hold it
