Tidbits of Wisdom to inspire your unique life journey – Jeanne Loehnis, Songs For Your Spirit, LLC
Life regularly presents opportunities for learning, growing, expanding! Here you’ll find ideas, stories and inspiration from my life. As you read, be sure to consider the unique and amazing life that is yours. Only then, discern if this tidbit is for you!
Perhaps you and I don’t share this life challenge, but just in case we do …

Good or bad? Helpful or limiting? Does it depend on the habit?

I’m experimenting these days with letting go. It has occurred to me that I can profess all the faith in the world, say that I trust that all is well in the big picture. But, if my actions resemble holding on, or trying to control everything and everyone around me, then I truly am not faithful, not trusting.
