Isn't it funny how when we are little we all want to be the same. We want to fit in, be like another spoke on the wheel, or another petal on a daisy, or another pencil out of the box. I hated my name, when I was little. I was the only Ellen. Now, I love my name. It is in our middle school years, we notice our differences and what we are good at. What makes you unique?! We often hear the term the best and the brightest... I think we all have a chance to be our best and the brightest. We all are unique and it is embracing our talents, our views, that allows us to realign with who we are and should be. You can only be the best yoU!
I thought of this U while in my swimming soup(attic sifting through my memories) and spied a box of books. In this box was a SARK book. SARK is an artist that embraces the unique. She helps you find your voice. The last page of the book was called acKNOWledge your self:
She asks you some questions to ponder:
What angels are in your life?
Who gives your heart wings?
Where do you feel most at home?
"There is a place, in between dreams and besides all that physical stuff, where your spirit truly glows."
"Remember Dreamsicles? What a great name-a popsicle gone dreaming. We only get one of you to dream your dreams, so let them get really big and then please share, we need them."~SARK

apollo and the two muses
Sometimes it's hard to dare to be who we ultimately are best at being...
Wanda-Thank you! Yes, but the course is rarely an easy one! I use to admire and be puzzled by friends saying I am going to grow up and be an nurse or a policeman and they did just that...
Pearle-Thanks! I like your name :D
Scarlett-You are too kind! Thank you~ So are yoU! Keep at it~ Mail in those shower rings! ;D
Cheryl-Wow, I love how you said it!
Thank you~
Em-Musing-Yes, I agree that is something that should be embraced and encouraged! I took my Sark book to work once...I wish I had owned shares. I could of sold 400 copies.
Thanks for sharing!
Liza-I think a lot of it has to do with how many try to discourage us on our path. There are a lot of thorns on the way to the roses!
Zongrik-It is isn't it! :D
Yvonne-I love that you shared music here and on your A-Z challenge! Your poetry ties in so well, with the music score~ I'll be by soon :D
Alex-Yes,tis true! I knew the Captain would say something profound. ;D
Sherry-Yes, they are wild and juicy! ;D I haven't seen this movie yet. I have the book to read...probably should do that first! Great advice...thanks for sharing~
Stephen-SO glad you do have those angels! I bet you can find a copy at the library or book store. It would make a great Mother's Day gift then you can look at it! ;D

Mary-I agree! Thanks that was well said! I think it should be a song ;D
