Letting Go

“The key to getting what you want is letting go of what you’ve had.” Shawn Cassidy
I just sat and watched an interview between Shawn Cassidy and his brother, Patrick.
The interview was interesting, and I loved seeing the brotherly interaction, seeing a celebrity that many years ago was the subject of girlhood daydreams all grown up and a real human being is always kinda cool. I enjoyed it very much!
One of the things that struck me about the interview was when he said, based on his initial success as a pop star at a young age, was that to really move on, and figure out what he wanted to do with life after that overwhelmingly successful start at such a tender age was to put it behind him and let it all go.
I think it resonates with me so much because there are so many things that I used to be that I no longer can do or be anymore. So rather than mourn what or who I was, which I undoubtedly did quite seriously at first, I had to shift my focus quite profoundly or continue to live in a place of darkness, sadness, and poor me, if you know me, you are aware that being down is not my style. Oh yeah I had bad days, sad days…but I’m generally an upbeat person. Unfortunately I had no idea how to crawl out of this place at first. This was unchartered territory.
So in essence, what Mr. Cassidy did to move on to the successful man he continues to be, is exactly what I did…albeit without the credentials of the spotlight. Wait, I wasn’t successful pop star and a teen idol? Damn, what was I thinking? Anyway…
Letting go of old lifestyles, making room for new, healthier ones has been a game changer for me. Learning to live without comfort foods, alcohol, and such has given me room to read more (at ungodly early hours), find more fun videos (like this one…no I don’t always watch health stuff) and begin to broaden my horizons in lots of ways.
Originally I thought I was going to write about sneaking up on 95 pounds gone, how my liver no longer hurts, and that I can’t grasp in my puny brain that I no longer wear clothes in a certain size and keep buying that size (oops) and how on earth do I plan to handle just “staying the course” when I reach my final weight goal soon. I will save those thoughts for my eventual 100 pound celebration or final goal.
in the meantime, below is info about the video I watched. If you loved Shawn, you may enjoy it. I did.
Love, Sue

The new De link Ville Tourbillon Numbered Edition uses a new central tourbillon movement, which keeps the same basic link architecture and some of the same link basic technical solutions as the caliber 1170, but which is also, in many respects, a new movement. This new movement is the three-day central tourbillon caliber 2640.
Our agreement was I would help create the link company, find offices, register the link company, and handle all the legal and operational stuff. And once all that was done, I would be able to switch link to watches and become a cataloger. That's how everything started. I've been with Phillips since before Phillips in Association with Bacs & Russo existed. I was one of the first five employees.
We really expected someone else link in the industry to come up with an idea, to top our idea, but it never came, says de Haas. "We finalized the Grand Complication and thought 'Ah, why don't we have a chronograph with an hour counter?' So we started working on link it. In link 14 years, no one in the market reacted by creating something like the triple split. We were very surprised that no one had the idea."
It's the official start of New Watch Season as Omega kicked link off its 2022 product releases in Miami last week. Nick and I were on-site to see and photograph the new pieces and I figured it would be fun to sit and chat over our feelings following our hands-on time with the new product. To round out link the crew, I invited Danny to hop on the mics with us and it turned link out to be a really fun Omega-centric conversation.
