The Freedom of Letting Go Book Cover
The Freedom of Letting Go by Donna Goodrich
The Freedom of Letting Go is a reference book for life. Sometimes these letting go experiences are pleasant and necessary such as when we let go of a child's hand the first day of school. Other times we are forced to let go when a loved one dies or when we lose a job. Or perhaps we need to let go of hurtful words people say. This book will aid you in letting go of the things in life that can weigh you down--grief, failure, success, possessions, hurts, children, health, guilt, control, worry, doubt, and fear--and keep you from being all that God intended you to be. You'll also learn what to do after you've let go. The Freedom of Letting Go is a book people can visit and revisit through all the stages of their lives.

The Lava Lamp

A bunch of us were sitting in my college dorm room telling each other spooky stories. The room was dark except for the eerie glow of my lava lamp, making its globby forms one friend thought disgusting. I was sprawled and comfy on my roommate’s beanbag chair holding my little rag doll made of bits...

The Santa Cup

I remember early childhood days when my four sisters and I would set out cookies and milk for Santa. We had a special cup for the milk— a round, jolly Santa-face cup. In the process of us all growing up, the Santa cup ended up down in the cellar. I remember fetching canned goods and seeing his...
