BE THAT ONE TODAY

When I’ve reviewed my blogs from over a year ago, I realised that some of them also will appeal to those of you, women, who are now in contact with me and my work.   I have adapted this one as I am so touched by the simple words used in the poem and know you will be too.

Overwhelm

Life can be overwhelming at times with all that is happening in our personal, professional and the world in general.   If you allow the media to be your only source of information, it can cause you to get pulled down, confused, and even upset with all that is horrible happenings across the globe.  It can be most depressing, I must say.

Simple words

A while back, I came across a poem on one of the ‘Timeline Photos’ and so liked it that I want to share it with you here in order to support you in those times.   It was not attributed to anyone as far as I know.  The words are so simple and I know you will want to breathe them in –

One

One tree can start a forest;

One smile can begin a friendship;

One hand can lift a soul;

One word can wipe out darkness;

One laugh can conquer gloom;

One hope can raise our spirits;

One touch can show you care;

One life can make a difference;

Be that one today.

I trust you like it as much as I do.

Choice

I would love it if you would choose one of the lines or choose the whole poem as your mantra for the moment, hour, day or week in order to support you when you may feel overwhelmed with what you are hearing and seeing in the world.   This will enable you to re-connect with yourself again.

Simply breathe in and out normally and then as you breathe in say the line or each of the lines of the poem – whatever feels comfortable to you.

I am choosing to breathe into ‘Be that one for today’.

Simplicity

You may also, like me, be touched with the simplicity of each line.  It is also a reminder of how you can create something simple, and uncomplicated to support you to remember all the goodness there is also in the world.

I’d like to leave you with – Don’t try so hard!  Let go and ‘Be that one’ and would really love to know your thoughts on my blog.   Please leave me a comment – thank you.
