A Place For Me

There is a special need in life,

That needs my humble skill,

A certain job I'm meant to do,

Which noone else can fulfill .

The time will be demanding,

And the pay is not too good,

And yet I wouldn't change it

for a moment-even if I could.

ThThere is a special place in life,

A goal I must attain,

A dream that I must follow,

Because I won't be back again .

There is a mark that I must leave,

No matter how small it seems to be,

A legacy of love

For those that follow after me.

There is a special place in life,

That only I may share,

A little path that bears my name,

Awaiting me somewhere.

There is a hand that I must hold,

A word that I must say,

A smile that I must give,

For there are tears to blow away.

There is a special place in life,

That I was meant to fill,

A sunny spot where flowers grow,

Upon a windy hill .

Theres always a tomorrow and the best is yet to be,

And somewhere in this world,

I know there is a place for me.

The Courage To Be Myself

I have the courage to...

Embrace my strengths;

Get excited about life;

Enjoy giving and receiving love;

Face and transforn my fears;

Spring free of the SuperWomean Trap;

Trust myself;

Make my own decisions and choices;

Befriend myself;

Complete unfinished business;

Realize that I have emotional and practical rights;

Talk as nicely to myself as I do my plants;

Communicate lovingly with understanding as my goal;

Honor my own needs;

Give myself credit for my accomplishments;

Love the little girl within me;

Overcome my addiction to approval;

Grant myself permission to play;

Quit being a Responsibility Sponge;

Feel all my feelings and act on them appropriately;

Nurture others because I want to, not because I have to;

Choose what is right for me;

Insist on being paid fairly for what I do;

Set limits and boundaries and stick to them;

Say "yes" only when you really mean it;

Have realistic expectations;

Take risks and except changes;

Be totally honest with myself;

Correct erroneous beliefs and assumptions;

Respect my vulnerabilities;

Heal old and current wounds;

Savor the mystery of Spirit;

Wave good-bye to guilt;

Plant "flower", not "weed" thoughts in my mind;

Treat myself with respect and teach others to do the same;

Fill my own cup first;

Then nourish others from the overflow;

Own my own excellence;

Plan for the future, but live in the present;

Value my intuition and wisdom;

Know that I am lovable;

Celebrate the differences between men and women;

Develop healthy, supportive relationships;

Make forgiveness a priorty;

Accept myself just as I am not .
