Live your truth

How often have you decided that what someone else believed about you and your future was true? Focus today on reminding yourself that your life is unique and that your destiny is your own.  Nobody has the right to impose their grandiose ideas for your life's fulfillment. There's nothing wrong with someone offering suggestions or constructive criticism regarding your activity or pursuits, but you should never extinguish a desire that burns deep within you that's leading you to the path that brings you into the fullness of who you were created to be.

You can be your own worst critic and you can sabotage your gift.  It's okay to park things and gather your thoughts, ideas, get some things in order, but never run the risk of living with the resentment of taking the advice of someone who can't hear the melody of your life's calling. This is your job....your assignment.

Many of us can see that you are fully capable, talented, brilliant and naturally assigned for certain things, however, there is a voice and a pull, a compass that leads you to a special place, that you have been assigned to fulfill.  I hope that you will listen and adhere to the voice and follow the road that leads you to the greatest unfolding of your imagination.

Go where spirit is calling you.  Go to the place that completes all of you....Share with the world what you have been designed to bring. Your assignment, your gift to mankind was placed inside of you when you were created.  Live out your highest potential.....Live out your truth! © 2012 Brenda Gale

Yes....I've heard you

Yes...I've heard you
You didn't waste a thousand words
I listened and I heard
I read and tried
to understand how you could
compile those words
choose those lyrics
Words that you knew were
fleeting, with no reality attached.

Yes, I've listened and I've heard
I've oftentimes felt and imagined
but knew that these were words
to comfort you, not me
Words that would give you the
love that you needed
the love that you were missing
craving....imagining...flirting with.

Yes, I've listened and I've heard you
I've sensed that you've wanted the words
to come to life, knowing that you struggle
with being strong enough to choose
to live the words that you write
the words that I hear
the songs that you sing
the lyrics that I see.

Yes, I've heard what you've said
I hear what you say
but I know that these words are
for you.....not me.

My Destiny

Hearing the voice that's calling
and reminding me to grow into
everything that has been planted
within my being.

I'm adhering to the voice that
directs me to soar
to heights that bring me to
my destiny.





Humming along with the melody
that harmonizes within my soul
that gives me freedom and room
to fly, to glide, to excel into my
brilliance.

Hearing the voice and following
the lead....of my spirit,
my stirring which leads into the destiny
of me!

Live YOUR life

Not your life, but mine
My life...not yours
Live your life....yours
Your life...not mine.

It's time to Live
the life that was intended
the life that fills your soul
the void that must be filled

It's time to get this right
It's time to live this life
My life, not yours
Your life, not mine
Live....
Life...
YOUR life!© 2012 Brenda Gale

Remembering Whitney - Happy Birthday!

Today, I remember Whitney! - Whitney Houston is the voice that will always be remembered....never to be forgotten.  We were all in a state of shock when the news was broadcast and couldn't quite understand how/why such a gifted soul left so soon, but her music and other gifts of artistry and love will forever live on. Many have tried/imitated, but none have duplicated. Happy Birthday Whitney....You are always remembered....never to be forgotten. Rest in Peace Beloved Superstar!

Whitney Elizabeth Houston ( August 9. 1963-February 11, 2012) was an American recording artist, actress, producer, and model.  In 2009, the Guinness World Records cited her as the most-awarded female act of all-time.  Houston was one of the world's best-selling music artists, having sold over 170 million albums, singles and videos worldwide.  She released seven studio albums and three movie soundtrack albums, all of which have diamond, multi-platinum, platinum or gold certification.  She is the only artist to chart seven consecutive No. 1 Billboard Hot 100 hits.

 

Anita Baker is back with a soulful, new single

So, when it comes to classic soul music....you must include the soulful, sultry sounds of Anita Baker and She's Back! Today, she released the single, "Lately" from her upcoming project, entitled, Only Forever. I can't wait to hear the entire project. Take a listen and see what you think......it's a remake from Tyrese's hit in the late 90's, but you can best believe that Anita puts her own stamp on it. Enjoy ~

U.S. Women's Gymnastics: First Gold since '96

LONDON -- One by one, the Americans thundered down the runway, soared high above the vault and slammed into the mat. Boom! Boom! Boom! When the fireworks were over, so was everybody else's chance for the gold medal. The Americans lived up to their considerable hype and then some Tuesday night, routing silver medalist Russia and everybody else on their way to their first Olympic title in women's gymnastics since 1996. Their score of 183.596 was a whopping five points better than Russia's, and set off a debate over whether this is the best U.S. team of all time. (full story: http://www.timesheraldonline.com/ci_21206840/golden-again-u-s-womens-gymnastics-team-wins)
