Your blog is (like those books!) always great reading that puts the mind at ease. On letting go... it's a simple concept with a whole root system of different aspects --- letting go of fear, anxieties, ego, sometimes entire belief systems, other times just plain thoughts. I suppose it's what "changing limiting beliefs" is all about! Lenora, as always, thank you for sharing!

I thought of you jumping off a cliff in Switzerland! And you mention moving on from people you love, it does seem harder, especially when you have a big heart and it opens wide to let in love and challenges. Our thoughts and beliefs come into play which increases the discomfort even more because we make the loss MEAN something to us, like I'm not good enough, or I'll never find love, something must be wrong with me. These statements I call limiting beliefs and are the culprits for strangling us from moving on. Congratulations on seeing that it is part of life's journey. Grace,

That is really, really powerful. I think I've had a taste of "my India" through a few experiences, but never really tested like that. I loved this - you're a fantastic writer! “Each day I would let go of my notions of what I needed to feel comfortable.”

I say, "If you're going to cross the river, you're going to have to get wet." However, almost anyone placed in India with the acclimation as different as your own, would probably react similarly to you. I find it hard to go through change and moving on from people I love. I don't know how to do it, how to cope. I do find that the more I do it, the better I become and the more I realize that letting go is just part of it and those people will still be in my life, no matter what. Great post and great accomplishments you have made dear Momma :) It’s funny, because I like to jump in feet first. I say, “If you’re going to cross the river, you’re going to have to get wet.”

I'm sure it will help all of us to better understand the challenges of mental illness--for those experiencing it and for the families. Please stop by my blog anytime. Here's to India and all of her gifts of transformation. Delia,

Sometimes when we least expect it, a challenge presents itself and we choose to love and let go. There's always more to get done than we have hours in the day!

After not living near my mom for over 30 years I now have her living in my sweet town of Fairfield,Iowa. She's 81 and moves slow. I'm smelling the roses as I move slow with her. When I'm with her, I have to let go, because I am not going to get done as much as I would like to. She's my India. Love, Diane My India is my mom.

Some day I will be going to India. Right now I am in the zone of the "book" and looking forward to attending a conference in Chicago on depression and bi-polar disorder. I am hoping I can be a presenter at the 2011 conference. How some families go through the experience when a loved one is having challenges can go from one end to the other end. There is a point, to let go of our fears, our concerns, but to accept an effort needs to be made to change on how one perceives "I" --or "me" - I hope I can help families to disregard the cultural cult of stigmatizing the mentally ill. I know there needs to be energy, puring, and living in the moment. I am so happy that you and your husband enjoyed your experiences. Delia L. Some day I will be going to India.
