  Letting Go of Stress!

Lately I have been asked to teach some workshops to various groups…mostly women’s health oriented. The Topic I started with was “Keeping Well in Mind, Body and Spirit.”

After several discussions and input from the groups, it developed into “Letting God of Stress” which I am leading tonight. Today I called in to work to find out my schedule for the day and I was told they thought I was one of the presenters at the physician’s symposium on Stress Reduction. After stressing out, and trying to contact several individuals in charge and attending the workshop (it had already started), I was informed  that “I was off the hook!” I was not scheduled to speak today. Talk about practicing what you preach! Well, tonight, I will give the talk to another group and I will be more relaxed.

I pray each of you will let go of worry and control and leave that up to others who are in charge of things that are beyond our control. Peace and God Bless one and all. Marilyn
