Dash of Sass: New Day, New Way
August 1, 201422 Comments
Today, on this first day of a new month, I hope that you will decide that today is the day to stop replaying the past, stop wondering what you could have done differently, stop torturing yourself for bad decisions and wrong turns and crashes & burns, stop trying to put the pieces of a helplessly broken situation back together…and just. let. go.
Accept what has happened and what hasn’t happened to bring you to this point. Accept that some things are not meant to be put back together. Accept that it’s a new day, and you can view life in a new way. Because that broken thing you keep trying to put back together can’t even compare with that beautiful thing that’s waiting to be built.

Life doesn’t always look the way we want it to look. In Mandy’s upcoming book, Turn Toward the Sun: Releasing What If and Embracing What Is, you’ll find encouragement to live in the moment, sit with your experiences, and trust God with the unknown.

I woke up today feeling weak and felt myself “slipping”, but after I read your blogs and Facebook posts I gathered up the courage to continue on and let go of the past. I think it’s time to reread your books! To brighter futures ahead!

well, honey hush,aint that the truth!!!!! after two years of trying to “fix” someone that was so broken ,only Jesus and the H.S could put back together(like humpty dumpty).I had to make the decision to either stay in a broken and undone realtionship or give it over to G-d and walk away.As hard as it was ,for my own spiritual health and peace of mind, I chose to walk away and leave it in G-ds hands. broke my heart ,cause I try to “fix” everybody . but it was breaking me too. so that was right on time for me Mandy Girl. thank you so much for the great inspiration that you give each time .hope all is going well on your end too,and your broken piecs are being put back together. xoxoxo
Wow…everything you said is my situation now! I’m at that crossroad to walking away…thank you for your story! Good encouragement.
Thank you for that. I just found out about livelifehappy and saw one of your quotes about making necessary your happiness’ . Then I googled you and read this! Amazing the feeling of encouragement from your words. Thank you.
So Mandy, tell me..when u get past the point of moving on and then he contacts u out of the blue after no contact for months…my heart feels crushed, confused, well, u know…
Giving it to God but can’t get it out of my mind??! Such a roller coaster ride!
Reading your blogs has done such an amazing result in my life. I Was trying my best to confront my fears of being rejected by my partner which happens every single day. Its a 4 year struggle that I was battling to get over with but I’m still with him hoping for a chance that our situation will get better one day. More importantly, I know that God is teaching me to grow and mature everyday thru your help.. it may not be that easy but I know I’m on my way.. Thanks again Mandy.. May God bless you more with all your hearts desires. (♥ Jassy )
