The theme of ‘new life’ had a special meaning this month with the arrival of our granddaughter Shalamay Worsfold.
I also gave birth to a new song called ‘Take the Stage’.
About giving birth to a new self.
I sang the song at our MorningStars Toastmasters last week
at the home of one of our members. Shortly after 7 am I might add:)
Take The Stage
I know you’ve got a secret dream
Of who you’re meant to be
Your future self is calling you
Yearning to be free
When I saw who you could be
You felt like you’d been busted
Now your secret’s out
I wonder if you trust it
Chorus
Your destiny is calling you
No place now to hide
It’s time to take the stage
The world is open wide
Your life is going to change
No more playing small
Your dream is coming true now
Stand up strong and tall
I see your fancy coloured sox
I know they’re all the rage
They’re sure to boost your confidence
When you take the stage
Not many people feel the joy
Of betting on their dreams
There’s really nothing like it
And It’s safer than it seems
Chorus

In tribute to Katherine Scott,
fellow Toastmaster and mentor, who died this month.
Katherine helped me start this blog earlier this year. She will be missed.
I love this song. I hope you will ‘take the stage’ at Katherine’s Celebratory Party to be held on Mar 2 at Chaster House. Singing this lovely song in tribute to the gifts she gave each of us about presence, being clear, letting our gifts out.
Shalamay looks very tiny in your arms – an amazing gift of renewal in the belief that life is magic and we are the ones who make it so. Congratulations
