eating No. 1 Victoria Azarenka on Sunday in the U.S. Open final 6-2, 2-6, 7-5. Williams, the reigning Wimbledon champion and Olympic gold medalist in singles and doubles, clawed back from a shaky second set on Arthur Ashe Stadium to earn her fourth major title in New York and 15th overall. It was the first three-set women's final in New York since 1995, and Williams came through with a late charge.

Broken .... Open

Broken Open and moving closer
to where I belong
Broken....but open to hearing
the voice that calls
for me to be all that I am.



No longer staying in a place
where the soil isn't rich
No longer willing to settle for
the smaller version of myself...

Open to allowing you to be
introduced to all that I have
to give....willingly, as I'm
Opened....

Broken Open to the sky
that I must see,
the sky that is truly blue
in my eyes....to me

Broken Open and moving closer
to where I belong
Broken....but open to hearing
the voice that calls
for me to be all that I am.

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!
