I believe

in the power of dreaming

you have to give those dreams a voice in order for them to begin their journey

I believe

if you really put your mind to something you can do it

but it does take work

I believe

you can make the world a better place by being kind to people

deep connections are important

I believe

in the healing power of laughter and play

letting go and being silly heals the soul

I believe

in ceramonies and rituals to claim things or let them go

recognizing what moves you is important for the journey

I believe

in the power of telling your truth and sharing your story

opening up yourself to the world is healing

I believe

in not being connected to things

but going out and embracing the experiences that fill our soul

I believe

** and for Brian and Timmy

I believe....I believe that we........I believe that we will win.....I believe that we will win......I believe that we will win!!!

peddling on

/

I was struggling to find my footing this week

Keep my concentration

And continue stepping forward

I could not figure out what was pulling me down

But I could feel the darkness settling in

I took each day slowly

Sometimes pushing myself to just make it through the next hour

The darkness took me by surprise

And really threw me off balance

I could not formulate into words what it was

And that made the pain go even deeper

But stepping onto my bicycle brought me back to me

It was not an easy ride

My muscles burned

My mind wanted to turn around

But I peddled forward

Slowly coming back to myself

As I pushed on

I saw how strong I had become

And I realized that I cannot listen

To the fears that were whispering there words into my heart

I have come so far

My mind is strong

I have an incredible support system

I am truly blessed to be where I am

Peddling along

Soaking in the warm air

Digging deep into my souls thoughts

For me this is beauty

This is pure

This is life

questions

/

She remembers when she started to ask herself the difficult questions

The ones that she never paid attention to before

She remembers how it opened her up in ways she never expected

And how at times it was uncomfortable

She remembers there were times when the questions would fly at her

Fast and furiously

Not leaving her much time to think

But she made it through

Better for it

Here she stands today

With more question rising to the surface

Yet this time they are more difficult to answer

They are a matter of faith

Words questing all she came to believe in

And  making her wonder about all she knows

Her heart and soul are being tested

And so is her belief in the power of dreams

She stands speachless

Trying to make her way through the questions

a feeling

/

Sometimes there are no words

That explain a feeling

It is just there

And you know

And you feel

That you are where you are suppose to be

And when you try to explain that

You can not

It does not come out as you feel it

But deep inside you it is strong

And it is good

And so you stand deeply in it

Letting it wash over you

Currently that is where I am standing

With this song playing in the background

~

Don't Forget to Remember Me, Carrie Underwood

For reasons that are hard to explain

But keep me grounded in who I am

it was here

/

It was here where her ideas were born

Dreams were realized

And brought to fruition

It here that she felt strong

Supported

Loved

As she walked along the path

She felt guidance from her stars

Each one whispering words of encouragement

She was never fearful

She knew she was being held

Gently being nudged forward

It was in this moment

Where she felt anything was possibly

And the world opened up to her
