a while back my dear friend Jennifer
who is brave and wise and
super talented in her writing
posted about
this...
this "I AM" POEM.
it was a fun little
challenge and i thought it would
be really fun to share and
hopefully some of you will go
and give it a try!!
if you do...please link back to me
and let me know
you did it!!!
i would LOVE to read them!!
so here is how mine played out...
I Am
I am compassionate and funny
I wonder if i am doing what i am supposed to be doing at this time in my life
I hear a train whistle blowing
I see a purple sky
I want to make a difference in the world
I am compassionate and funny
I pretend i'm still 16
I feel full up with love
I touch a beautiful white billowy cloud
I worry for my children's safety
I cry when children are hurt
I am compassionate and funny
I understand that love is all that truly matters
I say God is in control
I dream of my "heartwingsisters" message stretching far and wide and touching many
I try to send snail mail
I hope i am raising my children well
I am compassionate and funny
and this is my monday music for this lovely monday!!
xoxoxo
first of all.....LOVE THAT SONG!!!!

Thanks for the sweet comment, love that I used your "Be brave in who you are". It is in no way better than yours though! Girl, you got to get your shop open and feel the love!
Are you taking Kelly's e-course? Hubby thought maybe I should. If so, let me know how it is going and if it will help me. I just don't want to jump in if I can handle the waters, you know?

Love the new look Kolleen and this is an awesome song! I couldn't resist the poem so here's mine. Sorry this is such a long comment.
ReplyDeleteI Am
I am loyal and understanding
I wonder about the women who came before me
I hear my childhood calling
I see myself take flight
I want to embrace my potential
I am loyal and understanding
I pretend to be a bird
I feel the wind brush by
I touch the treetops
I worry for my children
I cry that time has quickly passed
I am loyal and understanding
I understand who I am
I say it's who I've always been
I dream of a creative life
I try to be a loving friend
I hope to grow old
I am loyal and understanding
♥Jenny
Oh, I so needed this today, dear one! To see your site shiny and fun, to hear beautiful music that makes the heart tap dance, and to be challenged by a wonderful poem. And to know we're taking Kelly Rae's e-course and learning oodles of stuff!
ReplyDeleteI Am
I am thoughtful and creative
I wonder how the Egyptians really built the pyramids
I hear the Universe calling
I see faeries in my garden
I want my hubby to be healthy
I am thoughtful and creative
I pretend I won American Idol
I feel I am invincible
I touch the stars above
I worry about my hubby's health
I cry when I think of Libby Lu, my 18 year old cat who recently died
I am thoughtful and creative
I understand my hubby LOVES me
I say we are all unified in our diversities
I dream my jewels make people happy
I try to be silly everyday
I hope my hubby's health will improve daily
I am thoughtful and creative

I Am
I am thoughtful and warm
I wonder about what happens when our souls move on
I hear children laughing and playing together
I see lush trees and green grass
I want my family to stay healthy and vibrant
I am thoughtful and warm
I pretend that I can fly
I feel captivated by possibility and hope
I touch a sun-warmed beach shell
I worry that I am messing up my children
I cry when things seem hopeless
I am thoughful and warm
I understand that our souls are who we are
I say may God be with you
I dream of spending more time creating art
I try to meditate on gratitude daily
I hope that my children grow up with strong faith and are led by love
I am thoughtful and warm
Sending love and hugs to you! Thank you for the lift of this post and exercise! xxoo jody
