Welcome to Love Notes from Rhonda.

Speaker A

Yesterday I was near some water, actually near the ocean, near a river, near several bodies of water.

Speaker A

And I had been gifted a necklace that said the words let go.

Speaker A

And 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 A

And she radically changed her life, radically changed her business.

Speaker A

I actually do two day intensives with people, with individuals, and people come for business, they come for personal.

Speaker A

And this particular woman had written a book and she didn't know what to do.

Speaker A

She 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 A

She 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 A

And so she showed up at my house and we worked for two days.

Speaker A

And I radically altered the way she thought about her business, radically altered what her business now looks like.

Speaker A

She 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 A

And again, I radically blew her mind and opened it up.

Speaker A

And now today, she's probably making about $2 million a year because I restructured how she saw herself.

Speaker A

And so as she was leaving, she handed me the necklace that said let go.

Speaker A

And she said, take this.

Speaker A

And you know, I've radically changed my life and I've let go and I want to give this to you.

Speaker A

And 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 A

So she gifted me this necklace of letting go.

Speaker A

And I felt compelled to take it because I'm her coach.

Speaker A

And she made this huge transformation in two days.

Speaker A

And 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 A

So I was like, of course I'll take it now.

Speaker A

I didn't think much about it at the time.

Speaker A

I 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 A

You know, I just would think of her and think about, wow.

Speaker A

Radically her life changed in, you know, less than 15 hours together.

Speaker A

Radically changed on the first day.

Speaker A

And then the second day, we just created a plan like, nobody's Business.

Speaker A

And I would look at it once in a while, like I said, and didn't really feel.

Speaker A

Not connected to it, but didn't really feel connected to it either because I feel like I let go on a regular basis.

Speaker A

What was interesting this past weekend, I looked at the necklace because it's right there.

Speaker A

I have my necklaces hanging on a lamp, actually really cool lamp.

Speaker A

And I saw it differently, completely differently.

Speaker A

And I went, I gotta let go.

Speaker A

And I felt compelled to take it off my lamp that it was hanging on.

Speaker A

And 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 A

And 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 A

And it came over me that I have to let it go, I have to let this necklace go.

Speaker A

And this necklace became something so deep and intrinsic for me, I can't even articulate it really, what like I let go of.

Speaker A

Because again, like, I've had this necklace for a while and it didn't necessarily resonate with me.

Speaker A

But I didn't get rid of it either, right?

Speaker A

I didn't pass it on, I didn't get rid of it.

Speaker A

So I.

Speaker A

There was something inside of me that kept it.

Speaker A

But 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 A

So 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 A

I was like, ah, I gotta get rid of this necklace.

Speaker A

I gotta.

Speaker A

Cause I knew I had to throw it.

Speaker A

So I had to throw it in some water.

Speaker A

I knew it, I knew it, I knew it.

Speaker A

And so I was crossing this bridge where this little canal is that goes out into the ocean.

Speaker A

And so I stopped my car in the middle of the bridge, which is really a no, no.

Speaker A

But I didn't care because I knew I had to do it.

Speaker A

And 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 A

And this rush of fresh air, this rush of breath came through me, this rush of energy, this rush of like, oh, yes.

Speaker A

And I feel today that I have unhooked something and I want to repeat what I said earlier.

Speaker A

I didn't know I needed to unhook this.

Speaker A

I didn't know I needed to let go.

Speaker A

And 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 A

You're not gonna let go once and never let go again.

Speaker A

I probably let go my parents.

Speaker A

Murder suicide.

Speaker A

30 times, 20 times, 80 times.

Speaker A

Who knows how many times I let it go.

Speaker A

And each time, it freed me up a little more and a little bit more and a little bit more.

Speaker A

And each time I thought it was the last time.

Speaker A

Right.

Speaker A

So just like forgiveness, you think it's the last time.

Speaker A

This is the last forgiveness.

Speaker A

This is the last letting go.

Speaker A

This is it.

Speaker A

I'm really doing it this time.

Speaker A

Wow.

Speaker A

And each time does feel like it's the last one, and that's how it's supposed to feel.

Speaker A

But then don't be surprised that if it comes up again in a different way because you have to clear yourself out more.

Speaker A

So I didn't have anything particular that I was attempting to let go of.

Speaker A

I'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 A

And it meant something very deep within me that I've had for a very long time.

Speaker A

And I grabbed it and I had to get in the water, and I left that thing in that water with that necklace.

Speaker A

And I couldn't even give that necklace to anybody else.

Speaker A

It 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 A

Right.

Speaker A

Because I didn't even know.

Speaker A

So what I want you to hear is that allow the letting go to come up.

Speaker A

When it does, when it bubbles up, see it.

Speaker A

When forgiveness bubbles up, see it.

Speaker A

Be willing to say yes to it.

Speaker A

And don't go into the conversation like, well, I bet I did this already.

Speaker A

Yeah, you did it already.

Speaker A

You did it as much as you could the last time.

Speaker A

And it felt like the only time and the last time you do it.

Speaker A

I understand, but we're talking about your life here.

Speaker A

We're talking about wholeness.

Speaker A

We're talking about completion.

Speaker A

We're talking about more.

Speaker A

More you.

Speaker A

So yesterday I let go.

Speaker A

Now wonder what's possible for me.

Speaker A

Until next time, be fearless.

Speaker A

I love.
