Monday Offerings...Your Secret Name

I have not read this book yet, though it is on my book shelf...

I do find this video very thought provoking

in the way of how we each see ourselves.

The story we tell ourselves

lives in everything

every thought 

every decision

every breathe we take

My Sister of the Wood writes about it here.


Our Story


what is the story you are telling yourself?
do you know you have the power to free yourself?


My youngest has been loving this song lately
and suggested that today I should post it as an offering
fitting... 
yes?
turn it loud sisters
dance
raise your hands
and grab your True story
it is yours for the taking!

I love each and everyone one of you...
Thank you for being you!
Love and Light


ps I will not be visiting much these next few days
with trip preparation  in front of me
know I carry each of you in my heart

Could I be that brave...

I just finished watching The Help

again

I enjoy movies on Friday....

as I watched the movie

I wondered

Could I be that brave?

Brave like the white girl

who goes against the grain of her

very cliquey social circle?

Or even more controversial

could I have been an out spoken 

 voice for the rights

of the African Americans?

Or what about the braveness of the African American maids

portrayed in this movie,

living in a hot bed of racial discrimination

Could I have held my dignity

while constantly being undermined?

They all make me think

Could I be that brave?

Then there is the surreal story about

Soraya M.

This movie stayed with me for days...

I had a hard time watching some of the scenes

I wepted for an unknown sister

as I watched her 

life being taken from her

and her voice hold no power to defend

Could I have been brave like her...

to look at those who were about to stone me?

Could I have been brave as her aunt

who told the story, in secret,

to a stranger who came to the village?

Could I be that brave?

And how about Irena Sendler.

Irena Sendler is known for saving 2,500 Jewish children

by smuggling them out of the Jewish Ghetto

in Warsaw during World War II.

Her story, too, was made into a movie...

"The Courageous Heart of Irena Sendler"

Courageous indeed!

There is a moment in the movie when Irena comes home

to tell her sick mother what it is she

is planning to do.

Of course her mother is scared for her daughters safety

and yet

she too must be brave because in her heart

she knows the words her daughters says

are true.

I'd like to think I could be as brave

as all these women

these

regular women

just like me

I'd like to think that I would be on the right side of things

I'd like to think

I'd be brave enough to follow True

and stand up against discrimination

I'd like to think....

that I could be that brave

but

truth is

I do not know

When faced with the conflict

the controversy

the uncertainty

the fear

Could I be that brave?

Love and Light
