I think that when I turned 40 I developed a much more intense focus about my life. As a result of that, I am finding myself looking at the things I need to take away from my life because they no longer serve a useful purpose, or they are hindering more useful purposes. Either way, they have to go. While this is energizing and freeing, some days (like today) I feel like I still have far too many plates twirling in the air.
TJs Things 
Still too many twirling around. About to release another because I need to focus on one thing right now.
Sometimes you have to let them go. I almost let two or three go last night – at the same time. 🙂
