You Can Be Whatever You Want To Be!



There is inside you
All of the potential
To be whatever you want to be; 
All of the energy
To do whatever you want to do. 
Imagine yourself as you would like to be, 
Doing what you want to do, 
And each day, take one step
Towards your dream. 
And though at times it may seem too
difficult to continue, 
Hold on to your dream. 
One morning you will awake to find
That you are the person you dreamed of, 
Doing what you wanted to do, 
Simply because you had the courage
To believe in your potential
And to hold on to your dream.

Kathrine Switzer: The Girls Got What It Needs To Take



Kathrine Switzer showed bravery by contesting a male-dominated sporting society in the 1960′s and 70′s, and played a huge role in achieving gender equality in long distance running. In 1967, Switzer ran the Boston marathon despite the event being open to only males. Upon seeing a female competing, officials and organisers tried to stop her from running, and tried to rip her competition number back from her. Switzer managed to complete the event, and was the first woman to win the New York City marathon in 1974.

Embracing All

A soulful poem that asks you to look inside and embrace the mystery of life.

Light that lies deep inside of me
Come forth in all thy majesty
Show me thy gaze
Teach me thy ways
That I a better person may be.

Darkness that lies deep inside of me
Come forth in all thy mystery
Show my thy gaze
Teach me thy ways
That I a better person may be.

Love that lies deep inside of me
Come forth in all they unity
Show me thy gaze
Teach me thy ways
That I a better person may be.
