It’s important to take time out each day
from all that you do
and simply be yourself
- completely through & through
Take time out to ground yourself
in the reality of who you are
and from inside it will beam out
like the light from a star
A light that can be seen
from so far away
and the closer we get
the brighter the rays
When you’re connected to who you are you’re like that simple, shining star
suspended in the air for all to see – beautiful & bright & brilliantly free

We can have more than we’ve got
because we can become more than we are
in our quest to be, do & have
the possibilities spread wide & far
Like the wings of an eagle
soaring in the sky -
effort is required to get there
to the point where you can fly
With ease and grace,
and quiet power, too -
ever expanding
as you grow into you
And all that you are
and all that you can be
and all you can have
and it will all set you free
From any fear or doubt
or restriction created
and embrace the empowerment of you -
celebrated!

I feel like I’m treading water
working heard, continuously
just to keep myself from drowning
when I’d rather be floating free
Drifting with the river’s current
enjoying the fast ride
as well as the gentle flow
that causes me to reflect inside
Winding my way over earth & rocks
to a quiet and calm lake
where one drop causes a ripple effect
in the still & smoothness – a break
Like the breaking of a wave
as it crashes ashore
retreating to the mighty waters
- gathering strength for more
The flow of life, like the flow of water
- it ebbs and flows in tides;
sometimes high, sometimes low
but always a magical ride
When we can stop treading water
in order to simply survive;
swimming toward our purpose instead
we find reason to live and thrive

When you come from the essence of who you are
and how you want others to feel
that quality you are expressing
will appear to them as real
So think of the message you want to send
and get grounded in that emotion
- then no matter what else happens
the essence won’t get lost in the commotion
If you feel it start to fade a way
take a deep breath and then…
continue to come from your heart
for that’s what matters when…
You’re talking or connecting to people
- what comes through is your presence
and the feeling you’re experiencing
they both make up your essence
Stay in tune to yourself
when you connect with others
in this Universe of souls
where we’re all sisters and brothers

It’s time to give thanks
Yes, it’s good to give praise
For the family in our life
And the friends in our days
It’s the family and friends
That make life worthwhile
…People like you
Who always bring me a smile
It’s those generous smiles
That keep me moving along…
Filling my heart with happiness
And my head with a song
It’s the song in my head
That always reminds me
How precious life is
And how great it can be
How great it can be
Especially when I decide
To be thankful for everything
And let my heart be my guide
Happy Thanksgiving!

Heart and soul, I have new faith in me
Heart and soul, and now I feel so free
Truly…
Because I now believe
That I can give and receive
Heart and soul, I am letting go
Of control, over people so
Freely….
We can all simply be
And that works for me
Oh! This life is so beautiful, so beautiful,
When it is effortless, not dutiful
Journey now, into this life ahead
Knowing how, with heart and not with head
Bravely…
Pursuing my life’s goal
With all my heart and soul

Oh, yes, I want you to change
and that proclamation may seem strange
It comes from my heart
and I want you to hear
that I see strength
where you feel fear
I see the you you’ve chosen to hide
as you’ve selected your head as your guide
I can see what’s hiding
under the layers of clay
that can be broken off
and gently washed away
To reveal your spirit, heart and soul
that dares to dream and set big goals
Oh I want you to change
- but not for me
I want you to embrace
the you that I see
But the choice to change lies with you
and I respect what you choose to do
For no matter what
my love is there -
supporting & encouraging
with genuine care
So let me know what I can do
- how can my love best serve you?

I love to go through life and see
What other people reflect in me
For each interaction draws me in
Where my soul ends & theirs begins
Or so it seems, but in reality
We are all one in Earth’s unity
And so the collection of all humankind
Is what, today, I have on my mind
As I journey through this day
I listen for the words I’m compelled to say
I honor you for being here
The presence of you, I hold dear
And I thank you for allowing me to see
All that you see inside of me
Know that what I see in you
Is also there, whole and true
As we go forward, doing our best
To overcome fears and put them to rest
Embracing ourselves, and all we can be
Where all that we are is alive and free

In this moment
right here, right now
Experience what is
as you allow…
Your emotions to come
- whatever they are
Deep & heavy like a rock
or light & airy as a star
Embrace the feeling
- let it envelope you
The fabric of your being
soaked through and through
And if it serves you
- allow it to be
If it is not comfortable,
go ahead and set it free
Choose the feeling that fits
in the moment you’re in
For it’s always a choice
and you can always begin
Start now in this moment
- make the choice and see
How the emotion you pick
can serve all humanity

Have you taken time
to nurture your child inside?
When you listen to what it wants
it can be your guide
Allowing you to keep things simple
and embrace what’s important to you
Your inner child loves to play
and is present in all you do
So when you’re doing what you love
the child within you sings
And dances around happily
enjoying the euphoria it brings
And when you get off track
your inner child is there
To gently nurture you back
to the space where you can share
Your talents with a passion
and your purpose with glee
As you nurture your inner child
your whole being is set free.
