The Courage to Let Go
On closing Hale House, honoring the pull of the unknown, and refusing to live in quiet comfort.
I knew this moment would come.
Right now, I have no idea what to write about… But, here I am, so let’s see where we end up!
I'm less than 10 days from the close of my beloved recovery and wellness business, and my brain is fried.
The decision to close my business is truly bittersweet. It wasn't a choice made spontaneously. It was mulled over for about a year. The ultimate decision was made, not out of need, but from thoughtful choice. While it is sad, not gonna lie, it grew from a very positive place.
I love my business, Hale House. I love all the people that make it so damn special. My heart has been the happiest and most fulfilled. This journey has proven to me that, with the right effort, I can do absolutely anything I set my mind to.
It showed me who I am and what I value in life. I have seen first hand how my energy impacts my outcomes. I have manifested and squashed things with my vibe alone. I have learned a whole book’s worth about starting a ground-breaking 24/7 business on my own and running it solo for years. While I was successful, there are SO many things I would do differently.
I love my life. I am grateful for every experience and person I've met. Every moment and interaction has shaped who I am today, and I love who I am. I'm not everyone's cup of tea... I'm more like ayahuasca 😂
If I held onto everything I loved in my life, I wouldn't be here. It's because I've loved and let go that I am here.
We only have one life to live. Please don't deny your heart of its desires. Follow your dreams no matter how scary they are.
People keep asking me, "What's next?" Some guess that I'm selling everything and moving to Costa Rica... I haven't ruled that out just yet. Others have asked for a yoga studio or another wellness space, a book, coaching, teaching, etc..
To be honest, I don't know what "next" looks like for me, and I'm a-okay with that. I trust that the Universe will guide me. I keep showing up, pouring love into myself and emanating that love out to the world around me, and I know my path will open clearly ahead.
I do have a hunch though. A hunch that's been haunting me for about 15 years now. It will require facing some fears and uncomfortable moments, but that's exactly why I believe it's being asked of me -- eh, more like demanded of me at this point 😅. The timing is still completely unknown though. And, if this hunch is indeed my path, I know, and have known all along, that I'll kick ass at it!
My purpose in life is clear. Help others live a happy, peaceful, and free life. Whatever my path may be, it will be in alignment with this.
Nothing great comes from sitting in quiet comfort.
If you feel an uneasiness, an ick, in your soul, like you're just not in the place you want to be, keep your heart and mind open. It's okay to not have all the answers. Put forth the effort to get yourself aligned and overflowing with love, and your path, your purpose, will expose itself to you.
With endings come new beginnings. After every new moon comes a full moon.
I will always vote for you to do what makes you happy, as long as it doesn't hurt you or anyone else.
Let's go on this crazy adventure together! Who’s with me?!
Stand tall,
Tracey
