Release Quotes

“If we can just let go and trust that things will work out they way they're supposed to, without trying to control the outcome, then we can begin to enjoy the moment more fully. The joy of the freedom it brings becomes more pleasurable than the experience itself.”
― Goldie Hawn

“We stood there, looking at each other, saying nothing. But it was the kind of nothing that meant everything. In his eyes, there was no trace of what had happened between us earlier and I could feel something inside me break.
So that was that. We were finally, finally over.
I looked at him, and I felt so sad, because this thought occurred to me: 'I will never look at you the same way again. I'll never be that girl again. The girl who comes running back every time you push her away, the girl who loves you anyway.'
I couldn’t even be mad at him, because this was who he was. This was who he’d
always been. He’d never lied about that. He gave and then he took away. I felt it in the pit of my stomach, the familiar ache, that lost, regretful feeling only he could give me. I never wanted to feel it again. Never, ever.
Maybe this was why I came, so I could really know. So I could say good-bye.
I looked at him, and I thought, 'If I was very brave or very honest, I would tell him.'
I would say it, so he would know it and I would know it, and I could never take it back. But I wasn’t that brave or honest, so all I did was look at him. And I think he knew anyway.
'I release you. I evict you from my heart. Because if I don't do it now, I never will.'
I was the one to look away first.”
― Jenny Han, It's Not Summer Without You

“When you dance with the Africans, unless it is a ritual dance like a wedding or harvest or rain dance, there’s no right or wrong way to dance. There’s only movement. And the more you express your feelings as you move, the better you feel when you’re done…When I dance the African Way, I show my feelings with my body instead of hiding them in my heart. When I dance, I know I’m alive here and now. My body and soul are in harmony.”

“Girl...
Lemme just go ‘head and let life be good.
Let life show me how safe it is to
bask in happiness,
shine in who I am,
bathe in long laughter with friends
and, give the present a real good look.
Nah, I’m playin’

I choose life to be good.
I choose to laze about in happiness with my house shoes on,
shine in the me I know best,
Breathe slowly in tear-eyed cackles
while knowing the present is a safe spot
to rub my feet together in.

Pfft, let.”
― Jasmine Farrell, Rising From The Roots

Prophetic Declaration:
“Lead Me, Heal Me, Elevate Me”

“Lord, I surrender the map of my day to Your divine GPS. Guide me through every task with wisdom that sees beyond the surface and discernment that pierces through distraction. Strip me of the residue of childhood wounds, middle-age regrets, and adult disappointments—every trauma that tries to rewrite my identity. I declare a second wind over my life—a divine restart to chase the dreams I buried beneath survival. Shift my thoughts to higher frequencies, where faith overrides fear and vision outruns limitation. Elevate my mind to realms where miracles are normal and purpose is magnetic. I am not just living—I am ascending. In Jesus name!

Amen!”
― Dr. Angela L. Hood

“Great morning!

There’s something amazing that happens when you choose you over chaos, lies, deceit, worry and stress. When you realize your value. When you seize the moment to say “yes I love you and yes I’ll miss you but to leave you is better than to stay.” Sometimes loving someone isn’t enough because in most cases the bad outweighs the good.

This is not just a statement; it’s a prophetic release. It captures the sacred tension between love and liberation, and between longing and self-worth.

“I loved you. I prayed for you. I even stayed longer than I should have. But today, I choose me. I choose peace over performance. Truth over tension. Healing over history. Leaving isn’t failure—it’s freedom.”
― Dr. Angela L. Hood
