“Live Your Life With Arms Wide Open”

Let the Song Lift You

Happy 2022! I hope you are as excited as I am for this upcoming year. Boy, I can feel it…it’s going to be GREAT!

As I was thinking about what to write to kick off the new year, the universe reminded me of one of my favorite, personally inspirational songs — “Unwritten” by Natasha Bedingfield.

That song gets me EVERY TIME. I watched the video before writing this post, and I cried, I cheered, I felt the chills. If you’re not familiar or need reminding, please click below to watch the video.

Two sections, in particular, speak to me:

“Staring at the blank page before you

Open up the dirty window

Let the sun illuminate the word that you cannot find”

2022 is a new page. You can leave behind the “dirt” of 2021. Step into the light and let yourself be refilled with hope, joy and possibility.

“Live your life with arms wide open

Today is where your book begins

The rest is still unwritten”

You can choose to stay mired in the things you can’t control or you can focus on you, your truth and what you want out of your life. You are the captain of your journey. It’s there for you. Just step forward. Today is where it begins.

Please listen to the song and see if it inspires you, like it does me. I am sending you energy, love and joy and can’t wait to hear about your journey this year.
