you may have one foot on the brakes.
In order to be free, we must learn how to let go.
Release the hurt. Release the fear.
Refuse to entertain your old pain. The energy it takes
to hang onto the past is holding you back from a new life.
What is it you can let go of today?**

Swarming ants invade SW Florida after Tropical Storm Andrea - Tropical Storm Andrea brought out swarming ants, and they covered windshields, front bumpers and more. The Fort Myers Pest Control Supervisor said their phones have been ringing off the hook with people concerned about the ants, and mistaking them for termites.
"They leave their nesting when the ground floods so they are looking for new places to mate and looking for new sites to make their homes, so it's more or less a weather problem." He says the bugs are not dangerous, just an eyesore. And your windshield wipers only make it worse, so the best thing to do is wash your car.
