Let it Go

I've always loved Disney movies and have found different ways to connect to them.

Yes there is the controversy with Disney movies and the hidden sexual content within them. But let's just put that aside for a moment and focus on the positive messages within, in this case the newest Disney movie Frozen.

This movie speaks so strongly to women and how they are powerful and shouldn't be afraid of their inner strength. We see this huge development of Elsa. She is told to fear her powers, to fear herself and to not allow anyone to see who she really is. She lived in isolation, never allowing herself to grow. When she finally breaks free and is willing to take control of her own life, she becomes powerful. I'm not just talking about her magic, I'm talking about her as a person. She's no longer afraid to be who she's meant to be.


The song "Let it Go" talks about letting go of the past and moving forward. It's about being true to yourself and not letting anyone tell you who you're supposed to be. Young girls today can take a lot away from this song. When Elsa sings about letting go, it's about not being afraid to show what makes you special, letting your inner light shine. It's about not caring what other people care or think, it's about knowing who you are and knowing that's all that matters.

It's such a beautiful song and message. Disney did something right with this one.

I encourage everyone to Take A Moment and take their daughters to see this movie. After the movie is done tell your daughter they can do anything and be anything they want to be.
