Empower

Me, standing on a rocky outcrop facing away looking at the mountains in the distance with my arms in the air.

Part one in “Finding my true voice”.

I was born in a world of power and strength.
Raised in a home full of love and grace.
I walk through life with my head held high.
Seeing the beauty in all that goes by.

You’re tough. You’re special.
That’s what I’ve been told.
But comfort with vulnerability,
is a strength to behold.

Step into the light, never hide behind fear.
Look deep inside, embrace faith through the tears.
Remain honest and open, let people in.
Be humble and real, that’s where you begin.

You’re smart. You’re talented.
That’s what I’ve been told.
But awareness of self,
is how power unfolds.

Listen and learn, from all points of view.
Collect stories and lessons and build something new.
Know who you are, and always engage.
You have permission to take center stage.

I’m authentic. I’m evolving.
That’s something I know.
But believing in possibilities,
is how empowerment grows.
