Live the life that I would love...{BB}

My first post to our very exciting collaborative venture is less an 'I saw this..' and more a 'I heard this...' so there you are - I haven't read the instruction book and I am going my own merry way already...

I've been pretty home based for the last 2.5 months after an accident and a badly broken ankle. I've done some thinking and some reading. I've kick started my 'Year of Knitting Selfishly' project and I've listened to a lot of radio at all hours of the day and (sleepless) night. On one early morning stint I heard the following on 'Prayer for the Day'. Now neither Helen nor I have a particularly religious bent, though we occasionally muse on our beliefs and ideas - but this seemed so very much a perfect thought and made me think of Helen:

May I have the courage today

To live the life that I would love.

To postpone my dream no longer

But to do at last what I came here for

And waste my heart on fear no more...

Many people postpone their dreams, and sometimes forget them altogether, under the weight of too many shoulds, musts, can'ts and shouldn'ts... I'm guessing it isn't easy but Helen is, I am happy to say, 'living the life that she would love' and (lucky us!) is cultivating her very special gift for helping others do the same...

So, here's to collaborations with your soul twins and to not wasting your heart, and your dreams, on fear...
