Ohhhhhh it's almost time for Lent. So what are you giving up? Eh me I am starting to look at it more as a time to shed and begin the process of letting go. Story goes "give up something for Lent and then when Easter comes we can do it all over again"! Right? Well I think Lent is the time in which we begin to see things for what they really are, realize somethings we never needed and start to cut back on things we can do without. So for Lent I will be shedding... concrete things of course! Like... fried/fast foods, sodas and candy. Those are things that we ALL can do without. But we can also shed what we've been holding onto GIVE YOURSELF FREE. Shed the first layer of negativity, shed that thought that makes you cry everyt time Also use Lent as a time to get reconnected with your spirituality. Become spiritual and not so much religion. And while you are going through the process of shedding familiarize yourself with you <---- YOU. Kick off your shoes and relax your feet and figure out why you don't need those things and how it can help you become a better YOU!
In the words of Dr. Seuss (oH yeah it is his birthday today)
"Today you are You, that is truer than true. There is no one alive, who is Youer than You."
So let's shed! When I think of shedding these are some pics that come to mind :)
Notice the words carved on her body and the look of discomfort on her face.
Lent - letting go
Ascension - the time we are closest to God
