My wedding rings.......are gone

I would say that this winter has been one of the toughest on me financially......that bitter cold making heating this big house even harder than normal, heating season is the time where one income for me feels squeezy, and well we know this winter has been crazy.....and with the cost of everything else continuing to rise, well yikes, and it seems as quickly as I can make money and hustle it goes.....and I am certain I am not unique in that......preaching to the choir so to speak;-) And I view myself and my life as abundant......not moving or living from lack.....I have been able to sustain a lifestyle, and beautiful and full life for the kids and I that makes me so grateful, and we are so blessed! So yesterday morning I did a little meditation on abundance and prayer....and not in a way of greed, just of sustaining it all and thriving:) And yesterday I wrote about my propensity for sentimental hoarding......hanging onto stuff that really should go.....so I think the two things sorta collided:) and earlier on in this story I had burned my wedding dress......and that may sound harsh.....but it was symbolic......my kids were not here.....they were with their dad.....and I wrote all of the the blessings my marriage had given me on the dress in marker.....and then I burned it.....and it felt very cathartic, healing.......and great to LET IT GO.....and over the years I have gotten rid of and let go of lots of "marriage memorabilia".......purging things as the inclination came.....and so yesterday, after meditation it became clear that it was time to get rid of my wedding rings....and sell them.....and I knew I would know when the time was right.....originally my hanging onto them and thinking that I could have something made for my daughter from them one day......but as time has gone on, that has seemed to make less and less sense amid all of it......and so they were one of the final things.....I think there is a few more....but definitely one of the last big things....and energetically stuck energy....as I sit here today, my emotional attachment to them is long gone.....they may as well be somebody else's rings.....their meaning long gone, amid the story that has played out.....once upon a time I loved them.....was proud to wear them....they felt like me......but that time is past....and so to me it did not matter really what I got for them yesterday....that wasn't the point.....the point was in the letting go of them.....the last couple of days have found me doing lots of that......and so I got a decent price for them. And there it was.....they were gone....but here was the thing that was magic.....is the kids and I then went grocery shopping....and grocery shopping amid this brutal winter has come with more restrictions than normal.....watching more closely what I spend, and making my resources stretch......and yesterday held none of that......we grocery shopped ABUNDANTLY:):) Not wastefully, do not misunderstand lol:) But with no squeeze.....selling those rings and alchemizing them into feeding us, likely for the next two weeks, with money leftover;-) And well........it felt perfect in the truest sense....the perfect time.....the perfect way.......the perfect demonstration and illustration of abundance in our lives........and it was time.....those rings clogging up the energetics in my life....I truly believe that......EVERYTHING is energy......and my energy hasn't been attached to those rings for so long that having them in my possession began to feel foreign, and wrong......and each thing that I have been called to let go of, has arrived right on time......I have thrown out so many sentimental things that were attached to relationships that were not what I thought they were......not giving those things space in my life, and the hanging on is what keeps us stuck....and the letting go is what frees us......so this morning I feel FREE, lighter again......and abundant......and grateful.......grateful I got to wear those rings for as long as I did.......grateful for what they meant at one time......and grateful for the strength and clarity to LET THEM GO:) Happy Sunday:) xoxo
