We all have many sides that make-up the whole the person
that we have each are – it is constantly in motion. My iTunes play list is as
eclectic as the theoretical counseling approaches that I claim. I like it, it
reads authentically who I am. You know when a tune gets caught in your head;
you sing it or replay it over and over again? Takes a while to get old. My two
tunes, two anthems, are Fire and Pop, Lock, & Drop It – if you are familiar
with these two tunes, you surely will be rolling in laughter.
FIRE
Oh if there's one thing to be taught
It's dreams are made to be caught
And friends can never be bought
Doesn't matter how long it's been
I know you'll always jump in
'Cause we don't know how to quit
Let's start a riot tonight
A pack of lions tonight
In this world, he who stops, won't get anything he wants
Play like the top one percent
Til nothing's left to be spent
Take it all, ours to take, celebrate because
We are the champions
Setting it off again
Oh we on fire
We on fire
Running our own campaign
Doing the whole shebang
Oh we on fire
We on fire
Get up, stand up, throw your hands up
Welcome to the other land of
Dreamers brothers sisters others
Yeah we on fire like that
Oh the bond is deeper than skin
The kind of club that we're in
The kind of love that we give
Oh ever since the dawn of mankind
We all belong to a tribe
It's good to know this one's mine
Let's start a riot tonight
A pack of lions tonight
In this world, he who stops, won't get anything he wants
Play like the top one percent
Til nothing's left to be spent
We don't care, we won't stop, call your mothers, call the cops
We are the champions
Setting it off again
Oh we on fire
We on fire
Running our own campaign
Doing the whole shebang
Oh we on fire
We on fire
Get up, stand up, throw your hands up
Welcome to the other land of
Dreamers brothers sisters others
Yeah we on fire like that
Ohh (fire, fire)
Ooooh (fire, fire)
And nothing's gonna be the same (fire fire, fire fire, fire fire)
Oh! We're the champions
We are the champions
Setting it off again
Oh we on fire
We on fire
Running our own campaign
Doing the whole shebang
Oh we on fire
We on fire
I would include the lyrics to Pop, Lock, & Drop it…but
quite frankly I don’t understand the words! What I relish in is the beat – I
feel a little thug gangster life, it speaks to the inner jagged edges I love
without boundaries. What is it then
about Fire – awe, the words, the beat, the essence of what the song embodies.
Over the past several months, I have been creating forever
memories with my friends and family. I
must be doing something right to be surrounded with an amazing eclectic group of
people that love me. I have been wanting to write something profound on my blog
yet I have been at a loss as to what to share and what not to share. I realize
that you can only share pieces of yourself publicly, there are consequences
professionally and a touch personally when choosing true transparency. I see that
I am filter myself – from everyone, this is not necessarily a bad thing though.
I am choosing to speak of only that which serves me well.
Understandably, there are questions about my health and how
I am doing. The answer to this is complicated yet simplistic. We are painfully
aware of the statistics; they are sitting in my peripheral all the time. The
bi-lateral mastectomy kicked off a firestorm within my body and made things astronomically
worse. Trust and believe, when great fortune crosses my path, I will speak of
it often and loudly sharing the news. For now, I ask for everyone to deeply believe,
with every piece of you, that health will be restored to my body – a miracle.
I believe I will attain health.
I visualize myself healthy.
I can feel health.
What I am really excited about is May 1, 2015!!! I will be
graduating with my Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I am beyond
eager to see where this new journey will take me. I will be setting up a small
private practice in Salem and seeking employment with an agency. I am gladly
accepting referrals!
Today, I am hopeful~
