Breathe and Let Go
It took a trip where I couldn't literally breathe (and post yoga talks and a This is Us episode) for me to realize the need to relinquish some control and figuratively breathe.

So many of us have been in abusive or unhealthy friendships and relationships. We give them everything we have. Our time, our money, our efforts, our thoughts, our hearts.
