Head Above Water – Writing, Headspace, Creativity, Verve
Take heart
Have no fear
Be kind
Reinvest the aching
Strive
Rake leaves
Stride
Flatten the mutterings
Kiss
Take hold
Whoop
Fly
Stop
Breathe
Dance to the Artic Monkeys
Dance in general
Have no fear
HAVE NO FEAR
Expect nothing, hope for something, enjoy many things
Forgive, let go
Begin, again and again
Love without wanting
Lift others
Watch snow falling slowly
Inhale roses
Hug chubby armed toddlers
Listen to sea pebble castenets
Wait
Savour
Have no fear
Thank you for this flying start to the new year.
That is going on my mirror and can be my mantra for 2011! Thanks Alison.
Love this SO much! x
sea pebble castanets – very nice.
See both raking leaves and Arctic Monkeys remain mantras – 2011 to continue in some of same vein as 2010?

This is an old post but I thought it was appropriate as an exhortation to the kind of life we want to find beyond our worries and challenges.
