This past weekend was hard for me.  I traveled into the snowy north for my first year anniversary as a professional psychic.  Returning to Buffalo where one year ago I made my Choice and changed my life… but this year it was different.  The crowd was different and they were passing me by.  By day three the despair was upon me and all I could think was

Don't look at me

Every day is so wonderful

And suddenly, i saw debris

Now and then, I get insecure

From all the pain, I'm so ashamed

Because I know this is the work I am called to do and when the energy isn't flowing it's not that I am wrong in my calling it's that the time isn't right

Cuz

I am beautiful no matter what they say

Words can't bring me down

I am beautiful in every single way

Yes, words can't bring me down

So don't you bring me down today

No there's no way you could bring me down today because today is my 33^rd birthday and no matter what they say I am here and I am doing the work I love.  And I owe it all to you who have come to me over this past year and the paths we have walked together.

To all our friends, we're delirious

There're so consumed in all thier doom

Trying hard to fill the emptiness

Their peace has gone left the puzzle undone

That's the way it is

You are beautiful no matter what they say

Words can't bring you down

You are beautiful in every single way

Yes, words can't bring you down

And they won't bring me down today...

No matter what we do

(no matter what we do)

No matter what they say

(no matter what they say)

When the sun is shining through

Then the clouds won't stay

And everywhere we go

(everywhere we go)

The sun won't always shine

(sun won't always shine)

But tomorrow finds a way

Through all the darker times

Yes the sun is shining on us as we continue this marvoulous work set before us.  And as we walk these paths together, I know that there is nothing we can’t do.

'cause we are beautiful no matter what they say

Yes, words won't bring us down, oh no

We are beautiful in every single way

Yes, words can't bring us down

Don't you bring me down today

Cus I know you will never bring me down.  And tomorrow will be ever brighter than

Today
