Releasing, realizing the power of our own words means having a little faith in our own voice. Thank you too for this most inspiring line. "we have to have faith that what we need to say just migh need to be heard somewhere too". Powerful stuff indeed. Joanna Wendi, I think you’ve hit the nail on the head here. Releasing, realizing the power of our own words means having a little faith in our own voice.

Thank you too for this most inspiring line.

“we have to have faith that what we need to say just migh need to be heard somewhere too”.

I really enjoyed that song. My, my, I haven't heard it in a long time...brings back some memories. My mind wandered into the thought of showing a little faith, and I thought about the fact that sometimes we have to have a little faith in our own voice, in our own authenticity. We have to have faith that what we need to say just might need to be heard somewhere too. Thanks for some great inspiration today. Joanna. I really enjoyed that song.

We have to have faith that what we need to say just might need to be heard somewhere too.

Thanks for some great inspiration today.

I'm glad you don't think it's the writing anyway! Joanna Cath, it’s a step forward if you can pinpoint the tricky area – at least then you can work on some strategies for changing the way you feel before you start to read.

It's the reading out that's the problem. Even when i had to read out stuff that I enjoyed from a book, I hated it. I tend to get nervous and read too fast.

I'm enjoying finding songs to add into the mix and help reinforce a message. This one definitely speaks to me about you, whoever you are, being good enough just as you are. So many of us forget that, and that's when we lose our power. Brad, the music gets me too. Just hearing the piano and harmonica intro is enough to send shivers down my spine. Thanks again for giving me the inspiration with your own piece. Joanna Karen, I’m glad you enjoyed it. I’m enjoying finding songs to add into the mix and help reinforce a message.

Obviously I agree with Karen that the lyrics stand on their own, but the music carries a power all its own. There many great versions of Thunder Road, but you picked one of the best. Thank you for sharing this with your readers. It certainly made my day. Joanna, yes, what a fantastic song!

Joanna, thanks for the Springsteen song. What a great way to kick off mid-week. Great songs are driven by powerful lyrics. The lyrics move us even without music. Thank you for reminding me that powerful writing stands on its own. It may be surrounded by pretty pictures, or pulsing bass lines but the words are truly the star. Woot for audio Wednesday!

The Dolly Parton quote is one of my all time favourites. It drives most of what I do. I'm sorry you didn't enjoy reading your work out. I bet your work is a lot better than you think it is though.
