Letting Go – Day 17
Sarah McLachlan wrote two songs after her eleven-year marriage broke up; ‘Don’t Give up on Us,’ and ‘U Want Me 2.’ She then went on to release an album entitled ‘Laws of Illusion,’ which includes more songs of heartache.
Sheryl Crow, after her very public break-up with Lance Armstrong, wrote ‘Now that you’re Gone.’
Justin Furstenburg, lead singer of Blue October writes a variety of songs dealing with schizophrenia, suicidal thoughts, depression and the pain that these cause. It’s incredibly raw and intense to hear the dark stuff brought to the surface, but offers a perspective into the journey of someone living with mental illness.
Adele’s second album, ‘21,’ takes the listener on a heart-felt journey through loss and moving on, and is delivered in a way that seems to tug at heart-strings worldwide. She has become an almost household name since the album’s release, which indicates that she has tapped into an energetic cord that runs very deep.
Jenny Griffin
Also known as ‘The Catharsis Coach,’ Jenny loves exploring life’s twists and turns through the lens of transformation. Her own journey through catharsis, a deep, deep letting go of ingrained patterns and beliefs, resulted in a feeling of connectedness, with the world around her and with that wise and wonderful voice within. Jenny has learned to engage with her life and experiences in a way that allows her to use the knowledge gained through them to serve others. When she’s not writing, she’s coming up with new ways to help people move through change with grace and ease.
