Lauryn Hill: “I Gotta Find Peace of Mind”
Saturday Dec 22 2007
Musings + Rhythm Section
Who Am I? Just a woman falling madly, deeply, truly in love with life. A poet/writer having a wild affair with words. A person whose mission is to live from a place of joy, embracing all that's beautifully human about myself, and moving deeper into the EVOLUTION & the REVOLUTION of me. Still curious?

Love this song. The lyrics. The emotion.
It reminds me that I need to find peace of mind…and stay there. LOL
Some really cool things are lining up for 2008 and I’m holding myself in a space that let’s me sift through them carefully. To say a strong “YES” to those things that will help move me forward, honor my gifts, and free my own personal greatness (which I seem to be holding hostage. Imagine that!). To say a thoughtful “NO” to those things that will simply keep me walking around the edges of what I know I’m meant to saturate myself and my life in. To let go…when letting go is in the air.
Peace of mind.
So much simpler than we make it out to be. Than we tell ourselves. So much simpler. As we edge into a new year, I feel like simplifying, trimming back the nonsense (even self-generated. It’s still “nonsense”.) If I’ve learned nothing else this year, I’ve learned that we tend to hold on to some much nonsense…no matter how much “sense” it made to us whenever it occurred. But carrying all that ish around begins to weigh on your spirit and that is NOT a good look. As we sit on the edge of the old year, I shed more than physical weight so that I can move into the New Year lighter.
Yes, peace of mind.
It’s possible. Lauryn sings about a “he” or “voice” in your head.
Just know this: no matter what that voice in YOUR head says, no matter what or who YOUR “he” is…
It’s possible.
Embrace that. Live it.
IT’S POSSIBLE…
(If you should happen to stumble across this post….let’s just consider it a Christmas gift….from me to you. Yes, you.)
Enjoy your weekend folks! Walk good.
