Excercises in Letting Go with Homesteaders Co-op
Learning to let go has been a regular theme in my life the last few years. Every time I am able to let go of something that I thought was important but really turned out not to be so important in my life, I feel rewarded and more happy.
The challenge I am facing after I let go of something is I tend to enter into a new comfort zone and I might stay there for a while before I get the courage or insight needed to make another improvement in my life.
When I am in a comfort zone (which is most of the time) I tend to hold on pretty strong to ideas about where I want my life to go, but then if I don't let go of those ideas I can't get where I want to go.
I realized the other day that @homesteaderscoop has been wonderful to have in my life because I feel responsibility for more people than myself and that responsibility inspires me to improve my actions.
I realized I can use Homesteaders Co-op as a chance to exercise letting go - so that I can get better at letting go in my life and so that Homesteaders Co-op will have less of my fears, inhibitions or controlling ideas holding it back. I am making the intention that over the next days, weeks, months (maybe even years if Homesteaders Co-op is around that long) I will share how I am learning to let go in this context.
Today I decided to let go of the idea that I have to control the Homesteaders Co-op blog and the rewards that it generates (and will generate). I am opening it up to at least several individuals in our community to share in the voice, responsibility and also the post rewards under the @homesteaderscoop account.
I think this is an important step to take Homesteaders Co-op to the next level and if my friends can earn some rewards helping to grow our new little community and marketplace it will bring us more resiliency. So far @riverflows + @naturalmedicine has already offered to be a contributor and offered lots of awesome advice about facilitating a successful steem community :) If you are interested in being a contributor, let me know!

I totally agree about the learning to let go- it’s very rewarding and can be downright life changing ❤️🦋🌈🍀🌴
:) Thanks for saying that. The life changing part is what I am after now!
Ah...full of admiration. I love your photo choice as well , because it is a heap of little plants stretching towards the sky that together make up a larger picture of abundance. It feels like a metaphor for what you are trying to achieve with your co-op. Your vision makes it more of a cooperative in the Fuller sense of all the word, and I admire you so much for everything you have done to help everybody here. More than happy to contribute for the greater good.

Sometimes it's good to let go of a successful project, even if it's only to see what the world will bring

I really like the way you put that :)
Only by letting go do with grow in awareness, it is such an essential thing to do.
Thank you... I love this! I hope to get better at letting go with time :)
