I have been thinking about today's word from last night until this morning. It is OH so easy to write the word free and to think the word free and to create a Facebook or blog post on the word free, but really, to BE free is very hard.

My life is busy - so is yours. I have obligations. Some of them are fun, some of them are expected of me. 

I generally don't worry about what others think of me; I can't control what THEY think, I can only control what I think and how I behave, so that lifts some of the nonsensical talk that goes on in my head away. But, I want to be liked. I want to be loved. I want to be appreciated. I want people to want to read this blog. I want people to want to retreat with me. I want people to join me for Coffee for a Cause. I want people to come to my classes and workshops. I want to know TGHR will take off and there will be people who really can't wait to be a part of it.

I don't think I am any different than you. For me, TGHR is my dream and my ability to be free to do what I want to do.

What about you?

Music today - OK, seriously, THE first song that came into my head was "Freebird." Yes, there are so many other songs with the word free in them, but I had to go "old school" and head on back to the '70's. I know there's a lot of you right there with me.

Free
Free yourself! Free yourself from habits that suppress you, people the depress you, rules that repress you. Get rid of clothing that pinches, binds, or leaves red designs on your skin - and free yourself to move in comfort. Free up some time every week - or every day - to express your creativity. Free your mind of negative thoughts and belittling beliefs. Sell your house and free yourself from the never-ending world of house maintenance. Free yourself from draining relationships with people who want only to take and never to give. Cut up your credit cards and free yourself from the vicious cycle of debt and interest that never goes away. Free the poet that's locked inside you. Free the athlete who never got to run, the ballerina who never got to dance, the diva who never had the freedom to sing. Free yourself to be the woman you were always meant to be. And be free.

'Cause I'm as free as a bird now, 
And this bird you can not change.

I had a nice day today- I am free from incarcerating thoughts. I received many compliments today- I am free from the guilt of being unable to prolong my positive relations with everyone. I was validated today- I am free from ever having to prove myself because I know I have succeeded by being nothing other than myself.
