This weekend is a great exercise in letting go, and breaking free from codependency. Codependency is the oppositve of love as it is our need to fill the void by another because we cannot love ourselves. Do not confused codependency with love.

Breaking Old Patterns

No Longer Escaping
For a long time, I have been escaping from myself and my life. I ran from place to place and relationship to relationship, while hoping to find peace, happiness, and contentment. What I did find was myself at the end of each of these attempts. It was amazing that I could not understand why I…
