Everyone must listen and act on behalf of who they are. Mind, body and soul. Choosing to honor yourself is giving your best at the moment.

Inspired by nature, business and a curiosity about positions of power, this lyric invites you to explore responsibility and leadership with imagination.

Repetitive thoughts become beliefs. Despite what I know and feel, it's my responsibility to nurture what aligns with me. Every challenge is an opportunity to review myself and the beliefs I create.

Despite how I thought surrender is perceived, a weakness becomes a strength with acceptance. A  new perspective with the willingness to learn makes the impossible into a learning experience.

With poetry as a form of meditation and a way to relate topics that are hard to understand, reflecting on how a poem is like a life makes me realize that expression, in whatever form is chosen, is a way of living. My life evolves with every expression.

 Finding peace is a path that begins from within before protruding out. The small inspiration that touches us within can be expressed by the genuine smile that lights our face. Sometimes a small moment of appreciation is enough to fuel our day.

What I like or don't like can get in the way of flowing with the process. Focusing to allow the changes to flow rather than judging from what I think I know opens my mind and journey to the possibilities.

When an experience can’t be avoided and there is no way of changing it, it’s best to find a small part of it that sparks your joy. Choosing what matters most to you and making that your concentration for the moment frees your mind of excessive worry. Something fun can be found in every situation.

 Give yourself time to realize what is happening before drawing a conclusion and believing that it is actual. Treat reactions like a start to discovery. Follow through with what you know while staying aware to learn more.

I can know what I want and how to get there but I don’t control how life plays out. I try to focus on what I am doing and my purpose when things don’t appear to be working out. Connecting to the experience lets me appreciate what I am a part of.

Being together in a relationship does not have to mean that we are always side by side. What runs through the mind during a separation is significant to the threads that bind a relationship.

Reviewing what is within my control in every circumstance is an important step in being who I am. There won’t always be control but I will help to craft my reality. What I choose matters.

:Tucking discomfort away in a moment makes it easier to get by but something is missing. Though scars can be hidden beneath long hair, they still exist and are a part of who I am. It’s time to enjoy its fullness.

Make time to filter through your reactions and wisely choose what you wish to grow. Changes happen constantly and care is required to determine the root of what starts to grow. Appreciate whatever sprouts and tend to the blooms that add to your existence!

We are taught to follow certain orders and aim for perfection. We should never forget to re-evaluate ourselves on our terms and accept feedback as assistive tools. Without mistakes or external opinions, we wouldn’t continue growing with the changes. Let every review received be a time to assess yourself and figure out how you will move forward.

What we say and do is picked up by the people and universe around us. Through the myriad of thoughts and feelings, it is best to wisely choose what we project. It can mean more than the credit we give it.

Realize what you have control over in every circumstance. Listen to everything for knowledge and work with your mind for the results you desire. There is no full control but you can exercise your power,

Whatever I perceive as perfect is dependent on what I choose to think. It is my responsibility to notice the changes and choose how to grow with it. Even if imperfection is met, I can find how it perfectly fits as I focus on being who I am. Perfect is not real until I believe it is.

Fear is not something to easily turn away from, it is an intuitive signal. Fear becomes unmanageable when we don’t face and accept what is happening. I think of fear as an encouragement to grow.

A memory from thirty-two years ago that continues to remind me of the importance of knowing what I want, why and to concentrate on good intentions. I may not always get what I want but I can know that I work hard for what I want.
