Welcome to Love Notes from Rhonda.
Speaker AYesterday I was near some water, actually near the ocean, near a river, near several bodies of water.
Speaker AAnd I had been gifted a necklace that said the words let go.
Speaker AAnd it was a client, a client of mine came to my house for a two day intensive and she had on the necklace with let go on it.
Speaker AAnd she radically changed her life, radically changed her business.
Speaker AI actually do two day intensives with people, with individuals, and people come for business, they come for personal.
Speaker AAnd this particular woman had written a book and she didn't know what to do.
Speaker AShe didn't know how to get her book out, she didn't know how to do media, she didn't know how to build her business from this thing, this book she was writing.
Speaker AShe wasn't done with it and she had some ideas about what she wanted to do and she had been referred to me by a friend.
Speaker AAnd so she showed up at my house and we worked for two days.
Speaker AAnd I radically altered the way she thought about her business, radically altered what her business now looks like.
Speaker AShe came to me and she was probably making $250,000 a year and had a particular idea of what her future would look like.
Speaker AAnd again, I radically blew her mind and opened it up.
Speaker AAnd now today, she's probably making about $2 million a year because I restructured how she saw herself.
Speaker AAnd so as she was leaving, she handed me the necklace that said let go.
Speaker AAnd she said, take this.
Speaker AAnd you know, I've radically changed my life and I've let go and I want to give this to you.
Speaker AAnd then when you're ready to pass it on, or when you're ready to let go, whatever you've got, this is yours.
Speaker ASo she gifted me this necklace of letting go.
Speaker AAnd I felt compelled to take it because I'm her coach.
Speaker AAnd she made this huge transformation in two days.
Speaker AAnd I knew it was a symbol for her to release this necklace, give it to me, so she could confirm and validate for her that she had in fact had let go.
Speaker ASo I was like, of course I'll take it now.
Speaker AI didn't think much about it at the time.
Speaker AI actually put it in my room and just left it there and looked at it once in a while and thought, huh, what do I, you know, did have a.
Speaker AYou know, I just would think of her and think about, wow.
Speaker ARadically her life changed in, you know, less than 15 hours together.
Speaker ARadically changed on the first day.
Speaker AAnd then the second day, we just created a plan like, nobody's Business.
Speaker AAnd I would look at it once in a while, like I said, and didn't really feel.
Speaker ANot connected to it, but didn't really feel connected to it either because I feel like I let go on a regular basis.
Speaker AWhat was interesting this past weekend, I looked at the necklace because it's right there.
Speaker AI have my necklaces hanging on a lamp, actually really cool lamp.
Speaker AAnd I saw it differently, completely differently.
Speaker AAnd I went, I gotta let go.
Speaker AAnd I felt compelled to take it off my lamp that it was hanging on.
Speaker AAnd I put it in my purse because I knew I was gonna be going to the ocean near the bodies of water yesterday and yesterday, like I saw it a couple days ago.
Speaker AAnd then when I went to the water, I just was like, when I was at this place near the water, I hadn't decided what to do with it yet.
Speaker AAnd it came over me that I have to let it go, I have to let this necklace go.
Speaker AAnd this necklace became something so deep and intrinsic for me, I can't even articulate it really, what like I let go of.
Speaker ABecause again, like, I've had this necklace for a while and it didn't necessarily resonate with me.
Speaker ABut I didn't get rid of it either, right?
Speaker AI didn't pass it on, I didn't get rid of it.
Speaker ASo I.
Speaker AThere was something inside of me that kept it.
Speaker ABut like I said this past weekend, I really was moved and just felt this unhooking of something that was very deep within me that I had to let go of, that I didn't even know I had to let go of.
Speaker ASo I took that necklace, put it in my purse, went by the water, left my luncheon with some friends and was leaving near the ocean.
Speaker AI was like, ah, I gotta get rid of this necklace.
Speaker AI gotta.
Speaker ACause I knew I had to throw it.
Speaker ASo I had to throw it in some water.
Speaker AI knew it, I knew it, I knew it.
Speaker AAnd so I was crossing this bridge where this little canal is that goes out into the ocean.
Speaker AAnd so I stopped my car in the middle of the bridge, which is really a no, no.
Speaker ABut I didn't care because I knew I had to do it.
Speaker AAnd so I put my flashers on, stopped my car, got out, got on the bridge and just said a little prayer and said some words and just dumped it in the water, just let it go.
Speaker AAnd this rush of fresh air, this rush of breath came through me, this rush of energy, this rush of like, oh, yes.
Speaker AAnd I feel today that I have unhooked something and I want to repeat what I said earlier.
Speaker AI didn't know I needed to unhook this.
Speaker AI didn't know I needed to let go.
Speaker AAnd I'm telling you this story because I want you to remember and I want you to embrace that letting go is going to be a lifetime process.
Speaker AYou're not gonna let go once and never let go again.
Speaker AI probably let go my parents.
Speaker AMurder suicide.
Speaker A30 times, 20 times, 80 times.
Speaker AWho knows how many times I let it go.
Speaker AAnd each time, it freed me up a little more and a little bit more and a little bit more.
Speaker AAnd each time I thought it was the last time.
Speaker ARight.
Speaker ASo just like forgiveness, you think it's the last time.
Speaker AThis is the last forgiveness.
Speaker AThis is the last letting go.
Speaker AThis is it.
Speaker AI'm really doing it this time.
Speaker AWow.
Speaker AAnd each time does feel like it's the last one, and that's how it's supposed to feel.
Speaker ABut then don't be surprised that if it comes up again in a different way because you have to clear yourself out more.
Speaker ASo I didn't have anything particular that I was attempting to let go of.
Speaker AI've had that necklace for a while, but all of a sudden I looked at it, and all of a sudden it meant something very different.
Speaker AAnd it meant something very deep within me that I've had for a very long time.
Speaker AAnd I grabbed it and I had to get in the water, and I left that thing in that water with that necklace.
Speaker AAnd I couldn't even give that necklace to anybody else.
Speaker AIt wasn't about me giving it to anybody because I had imbued that necklace with something so deep within, or it had imbued itself.
Speaker ARight.
Speaker ABecause I didn't even know.
Speaker ASo what I want you to hear is that allow the letting go to come up.
Speaker AWhen it does, when it bubbles up, see it.
Speaker AWhen forgiveness bubbles up, see it.
Speaker ABe willing to say yes to it.
Speaker AAnd don't go into the conversation like, well, I bet I did this already.
Speaker AYeah, you did it already.
Speaker AYou did it as much as you could the last time.
Speaker AAnd it felt like the only time and the last time you do it.
Speaker AI understand, but we're talking about your life here.
Speaker AWe're talking about wholeness.
Speaker AWe're talking about completion.
Speaker AWe're talking about more.
Speaker AMore you.
Speaker ASo yesterday I let go.
Speaker ANow wonder what's possible for me.
Speaker AUntil next time, be fearless.
Speaker AI love.
