Last night as I was trying to go to sleep, I had this vision of someone trying to move forward, they were moving but going no where fast. I realized they were not going anywhere because there was something pulling them from behind. Instantly I thought, what’s holding me back? I’ve recognized at times I can hold on to things, whether it’s a grudge or just someone doing something bad to me, I hold on to it.

Whatever the interruption, we have all have dealt with it in our life. Well, I had one today, and for me it was big. As you may or may not know, I live in North Carolina, and we got snow early this morning. While the snow is beautiful to look at, there are so many other things that come with it, and for me today, it was a power outage. And today, I had plans; plans of lounging,…
