Reminder from Jen Lemen: Its Ok to fall apart..

Can you believe I took this picture today!!  The first week of Spring 2011
Today I was paying a visit to Jen Lemen over at her blog and the first two sentences of today's post  reached out and spoke directly to me:  "It’s okay to fall apart.  You don’t have to know the answers" - Jen Lemen. 

Thank you so much Jen, I truly needed that reminder today.  (see full post here at Jen's blog)
While strolling around the blogosphere visiting friends I noticed over at my friend Liz's blog  that she was also touched by Jen's words.  It always amazes me how connected we truly are.

Jen's post brought me back to a poem I had written a few weeks ago (see below)
I am beginning to see and embrace that sometimes you just have to let go of the pieces and see what becomes of them. 

I feel like I’m in pieces
scattered around the floor
trying to pick one up
and then another falls
holding on to hope
I let go and let them be
curious to see what’s to become
of these pieces of me

Much love to you and yours.

Namaste,
Karen

I have had some major things happen in my life over the last 15 years. I now give myself permission to break and actually plan my life around it. I take it easy on myself. I take naps. I have set the bar lower for myself, not higher each year. The only way I strive to be better is in my personal relationships and my spirituality. Makes like pretty simple.
