The Art of Letting Go & Moving On…

Who said letting go is difficult? The first time you plan to let go, is a bit hard. The second time something happens, its less harder. The third time you let go of that same thing, it will be so much easier!

It actually means you can experience life and love fully and openly without clinging to it for your s...
