THIS one little word packs SO much punch. 

I could wax poetic about it.

However, since I have had quite a few posts with "too many words, Maggie!" I am going to suggest you look at the picture, read the quote from the book, take 10 minutes to watch Ash on her TED Talk and listen to the awesome version of "Let It Be."

It's Friday and although "Let It Be" isn't a traditional dance tune, dance anyway!

Be
Remember that life is in the being, not the doing. Be every bit of everything that you are. Be tough, be soft, be dramatic, be subdued. Be a little bit of this and a little bit of that. e the one who always shows up on time or be the one who lies according to your own inner clock. Be the one who never forgets a detail or be the one who never remembers. Be happy when you feel like it and be sad when you're down. Be who you are - not who they told you you should be. Be able to cry in front of someone you hardly know, if it's time to cry. Be willing to be real. Be talkative if you are; be quiet if you're not. Be ready to drop your masks and your protective armor and be genuine. Be in the moment, be in the light.

And just when they think they know
exactly who you are, be prepared to 
be something altogether different.

We ALL have come out of a closet about SOMETHING and it's never fun living in that dark place. Thank you, Ash for your brilliant talk. xo

I could have gone with The Beatles.
Or GLEE.
Or any one of the thousands of versions of this song out there.
This one though, THIS one gets to me.

I do resist at most costs to cry in front of people- I don't want to do that, and I'm not commonly tempted. Crying in general is something I choose to avoid. Ugh. I feel out of balance if I cry.
And right now, I'm not BEing so well- I'm thinking about how much work I'm going to walk into on Monday. Which is so dumb because I'm dragging out that inevitable burden over these two days, rather than taking it on next week. I'm making it more consuming and drawn out- there's nothing I can do about it now, so I might as well forget it!!

Well Mel ~ as you know, I have no problem with crying. ;-)

As my friend Cara has said, "Each day, laugh, cry, and say I love you. THAT is a perfect day."

The idea of BEing is magnificent. The actual state of BEing is pretty damn hard.

I hope your weekend was BEautiful.
