TODAY -- with much affection and lightheartedness -- I broke up with my subscribers. I tried my hand at a "continuity program" and realized that I totally resented pouring out my best and highest for only [insert very modest number here] to have access to it. I worked it for six months. Worked it hard. Until today... A failure is proof of a try. And a success is proof of a lot of tries. Oooh, that's tweetable...

Three days ago, I sat down with my husband of almost six years and told him that I didn't feel safe in the future we were building together. It's not a fault in either of us, just a manifestation of the fact that our minds work in vastly different ways. I still care about him deeply, but he can't follow his dream without my support, and I can't support him in following a path that wakes me up in the night in cold, sweaty fear. The conversation itself was gut-wrenchingly hard, but the next morning...it was like the whole world had relaxed a notch - like I was free to do anything. That initial euphoria is incredible, and as it settles down, I have yet to lose that feeling of freedom. Many thanks to Danielle for putting this out there for the world to read. Whether you apply it to business patterns or emotional ones, the same logic applies. As she says elsewhere on the site, "give up immediately - stop doing what's not working. it will be amazing". Amen to that, sister. Amen to that. I'm in that exact space myself, Tam.

Add one marriage to the list. Having to deal with indicators 3 and 5 and 6 and 8 every day has just gotten to be too much. I did everything I thought might work--short of totally losing myself--and none of it did. (And losing myself wouldn't have either.) It's so HARD to let go, but you're right: cutting someone lose can be the most humane thing to do. And I'm a witness to the fact that, when you start making space, it starts filling up with new, different goodness. Miraculous stuff—better stuff—has started coming out of nowhere. Imagine what it will be like when I REALLY let go.

I had just said "this sucks" about something the day before your post because I was tired of pretending ... and it felt wonderful!! My new motto, allow it in, let it out - say it sucks as needed, and then enjoy. I love this post because it lets something that sucks be wonderful!

There's a gym membership and a sitebuilder website that are both getting the flick this month. Savings of $1200+ per year. Plus less guilt - I'll no longer feel like I "have" to do these things.
