Something New
Something Old
Something Bold
Something Fun
Something Frivolous
Something Special
Something you have not seen
Something you want to give
Something you want to receive
Something you want to say
Something you want to do
Just Something
Sex… love… lust
A piece of me
Joy… peace… intimacy
A piece of me
Heart….soul… God
A piece of me
Grace… loss… sadness
A piece of me
Pages… paper… pen
A piece of me
Take a piece of me
And keep me in your pocket
When times get rough
Put that piece in your heart
And I’ll put you back together again
Like a puzzle
Like a wordsearch
I will find you
And show you
My heart
Hard things come
Hard things go
Try your best
Live your life
Do the things that light you up
See the people who bring you joy
Love yourself
Love others
Live with intention
Follow your dreams
Accomplish big things
Be grateful for this life
Cherish everyday
Make time for some play
Rule the world
Little girl
You wake up
Sun streaming through the window
Curtains just a crack open
You take a breath in
Turn off your alarm
Another day
You get up and stretch
Coffee brewing
A sweet aroma fills the room
You smile and sit at the table
You sip your coffee in silence
Thinking of things you are grateful for
Calm
At peace
You take out your journal
Or maybe 5
And write out your morning thoughts
Your affirmations
Your dreams
And you brush and floss
Wash your face
Do your makeup
And smile in the mirror
Looking at the reflection
You see beauty
You are happy
Smiling
And you realize
You want to feel this way
Your whole life
Confidence
Happiness
Calmness
Relaxed
And you realize
This is you
And you don’t know when
But you’ve arrived
To where you thought you dreamed of
Just yesterday
Lazing on a beach chair
Reading a book
Thinking about life
The dreams you have
The promises you made to yourself
And you know
You can come through for yourself
You can step up to the plate
And change your life
Because you deserve
A beautiful life
Who is THAT GIRL?
She is you
Appreciating each day
Living each day
Doing the things that make you grow
Noticing the little things to be grateful for
Who is THAT GIRL?
She is me at the gym working out
She is me writing
She is me journaling
She is me walking
She is me relaxing
She is me in a hot bubble bath
She is me reading… in bed, on the couch, on the beach, in a coffee shop, at the park
THAT GIRL IS ME
THAT GIRL IS US
THAT GIRL
We can all be THAT GIRL
Through authenticity
Through leaning in
Through loving your life
Through generosity
Through gratitude
Be YOU
Be HER
The quiet magic of my day
Silence surrounding me
I sip my tea
I think of you
I sip my tea
I hear the oceans waves
I sip my tea
I ponder life
I sip my tea
In the silence of the night
Alone
In a quiet room
Thoughts are still
Memory is deep
And soon I will drift
Off to sleep
Pain
Pain makes you stronger
Pain makes you resilient
Pain is a part of life
I’ve come to like pain
I’ve come to appreciate pain
I’ve come to realize
I can overcome pain
I’ve come to realize
Pain isn’t the end
No pain, no gain
I sat for months in pain
Injured back
No movement
Just me
And pain
And tears
And it made new pain more tolerable
It made me realize I can tolerate a lot of pain
I can push through the pain
And come out the other side stronger
I push through the tough workouts
I push through the physical aches
And I live
Stronger
Happier
More resilient
And that pain
That I had to endure
Made me brilliant
Snowflakes
Changing Leaves
Budding Flowers
Birds and Bees
Soft wind blowing
Through the trees
Orchids
Tulips
Dandelions
Morning Dew
Sunrise
Day break
Start anew
No one can control us
We make our own choices
We carve our own path
We live the life we make
We can’t control what happens to us
We can control how we react
We can control what we do with what life gives us
And you can turn something ugly and make it yours
“Bring it on”
You can do hard things
You can push on
You can survive
And live
And see happy days again
You can smile
You can laugh
You can let it roll off your shoulders
You can shrug and say
“So What?”
Just another day
And you choose how you will live today
You choose how you view life
Negative?
Positive?
A choice
I choose life
I choose me
I choose to smile
“grin and bear it”
Sometimes I will cry
Sometimes life will get me down
And I’ll spend the day in bed
But I will get back up
And choose life
I choose life
I choose you
