Every one has an inner super “Hero” within , but I never realized that going to a sweet Disney movie with my kids would teach me to tap into my own inner “power.”
It was a lesson of forgiveness and self-worth to me.
A lesson in strength.
Inner strength.
Super “Hero” strength.
“Let it go” is a beautiful song (from the Movie “Frozen”) about being “true to you.” Disclaimer: Once you hear it, you won’t be able to stop singing it, especially your kids. 🙂 For me, it is a reminder to LOVE myself again and exemplify that LOVE to my children. A reminder to keep the volume of those negative voices turned down (because they always seem to find a way through the cracks of my soul); a reminder to stop holding things inside.
I equate much of that “stuff” to the reference of a “closet.” We can keep shoving stuff inside, until you can hardly shut the door. Pushing it down; pushing it in to keep it shut. Then finally it won’t shut, the door comes FLYING open! And BAM! There’s an explosion of emotion! A Beam of LIGHT!
LET IT GO!!!
As my 3 year old daughter dances around singing the song with her precious little voice, she engages her imagination and smiles as she waves her hand like “Elsa” in the movie. I join in… turning to the right and reaching my hand into the sky, turning to the left as I toss my “magic ice crystals” higher.
LET IT GO!!!
As we grasp our hands together, turning to the sounds of the beautiful music. I can FEEL it. Stirring up from within… what is it? JOY! Pure unadulterated JOY!
LET IT GO!!!
Warm yourself in the light…
Soothe your spirit…
DANCE… in the beaming light of hope and…
Release your inner power. Be a hero and LET IT GO!
Hi Pam… so glad you found the joy as you danced. Thank you for sharing your words today. x

Thank you!!! 🙂 Ps I just followed you on wordpress. 🙂
Bless you – thanks for popping by! Ruth
Really funny coincidence! We just got the CD and have been singing Let It Go nonstop! I’m talking loud and free!
We saw the movie back in December; here’s the link to my response! http://compassiontea.wordpress.com/2013/12/16/snarled-habits/
My daughter and I love Frozen. I am always looking for strong female characters for her. Elsa and Anna are perfect…and Olaf adds just enough goofiness!
🙂 It really was a great movie. I was pleasantly surprised. 🙂 Thanks for stopping by… Have a great week!
Beautiful! Great reminder for me today. Stopped in from FMF.
Thanks so much. 🙂 Have a great week.
Love the idea that letting go is heroic!
🙂 I think we all have “heroic” moments in our life every single day… 🙂 Thanks for commenting. 🙂
Hmm…now I might have to see Frozen!! 🙂 Or at least listen to the song!
Once you hear it, you won’t forget it! 🙂 Thanks for reading and commenting. 🙂
That is what I love so much about children – they help you remember places and feelings we have forgotten.
Yes, it’s so amazing what we can learn and see through the eyes of a child. 🙂 Thanks for reading and commenting. 🙂
For me, letting go is one of the very hardest things — letting go of the those negative voices that always find the cracks is especially hard.
I’m glad that you share the special joy and freedom that dancing with little ones brings. May you always be a hero, and have the gift of letting go!
“Children’s animated movies” have a lot to teach adults too.
I agree… letting go is so hard. I think we are reminded in different ways to “let go” during our life, if we choose to listen. 🙂 Thanks so much for reading and commenting. Have a wonderful week.
Keep dancing Pam!!! Such a beautiful post!!! Blessings to you xxx
Thanks so much! 🙂 Glad we are connected via blogs now. I look forward to your next post. 🙂
What an encouraging and uplifting post! Thank you for sharing!
Thank YOU for stopping by with your comment. 🙂
I need to work more on letting it go for sure!
Yay for the SITS Girls for helping me find your blog! 😀
Thanks so much. During the last couple of weeks I have discovered a lot of great blogs via SitsGirls… Like YOURS! 🙂
I really need to see this movie. I thought it was just for kids but you’ve convinced me otherwise.
There’s nothing like a kid movie with grown up story line on the side. 🙂 I hope you got a chance to see it or at least hear the song. Thanks for stopping by.
I’m going to have to look that song up! it sounds very nice and calming. I could use some music in my life.
Music is always good for the soul! 🙂 I hope you have heard the song. Thanks for stopping by. 🙂
Going to watch it soon! Thanks for sharing 🙂

Thank YOU 🙂
I haven’t heard the song yet, but I have heard so many amazing things about it.
I hope you have heard it now. 🙂 I’m finally getting around to responding back to comments. (We’ve had a lot of snow days here) 😉 Thanks so much for your comments.
I haven’t seen frozen but I must find that sound.
I love this song. It can be applied to so many things. I sing it loud and often whenever I am feeling blah.
I took my kids to see Frozen and really enjoyed it. It has a wonderful message to be true to yourself and let your true self shine. The music is great to sing to as well.
Well since I am fresh off my trip to L.A. and my behind the scenes look at all things Frozen you are right it’s an amazing movie and the songs are also great. While we were there we visited the Disney Store and they were playing the soundtrack and if a cast member heard you singing they would bring you a foam mike for you to sing louder. It was a blast. The whole store was singing Let It Go.
Inspiring post 🙂 Disney movies always have the best messages. Its cute the way children interpret things sometimes. I’ll have to remember to “Let it go!!” when I’m having a bad day.
I love this movie and song. I bet there are a lot of people who forget to ‘let it go.’ When where they do, they feel so much better.
We haven’t seen Frozen in this house yet, I’m curios now. I. Can’t. Keep. Up. with all the movies LOL
