Happy Songs And Goals

I've been tagged by two lovely ladies to play Meme games!


The first is from Karen at Live the Power. It's a meme called “Songs that make your heart sing” and was started by Hilda at Living Out Loud.


This one is way easy for me. My favorite song of all times is "In Your Eyes," by Peter Gabriel. I've heard it hundreds of times, and each time I hear it I instantaneously get happyhappy...ecstatic, actually. If I'm standing I dance, if I'm driving my arms dance and I sing it really really loud. I love it because it's about the power of love, but also because of the music. You can listen to an amazing live version of it here. Yup, cried again it's so beautiful to me...I love watching people dance and sing. Gabriel says it's about Love between people or of God.


And, I get to tag three others so am tagging Jonas who I don't think does memes but he does do music, Greenwoman and Vera Nadine because......

....Vera Nadine tagged me for another Meme called Alex Shalman's Gotta Get Goals! which can be found here. I'm supposed to "write about the top 5 to 10 goals that you gotta’ get so that you can truly say you have achieved your wildest dreams in life. These have to be your best, most exclusive, and over-the-top goals that you can pick off your goals list."

I have to admit this one is not as easy as finding my favorite song.

Goals....

I used to have tons of them. I did lots fulfilling them. About six years ago, I felt like I had fulfilled enough for a lifetime, in fact, and kind of let go of lots of outside goals. Instead I focused on learning how to be a be-er instead of a do-er, being happyhappy in the wonderful world I had created, with the only goals being to find a few people who I could impact and to be the best parent I could. And in that, the desires and long ago goals I had of travel, experience and stuff were fulfilled, in magical and abundant ways I could not have imagined.

So I did that and then I started to dream again about two years ago. I wanted more. I have dreams again, which I am simultaneously letting go of. I am learing to ride the edge of huge creation, while trying to maintain balance in the being ways I learned before. These dreams will be or they won't. Either way will be fine. My Dreams:

1) To recapture that full on hum I used to feel in my body all the time- that constant in full- alignment-joy-thing

2) To love a man the same way I love my children

3) I dream of circles of women all over Africa, councils of women who are dedicated to health and educating themselves and their children. I see/feel/get that Africa is the place of enlightenment these days. And I want to do all I can to contribute to that. I feel a connection.

4) I see artists all over the world creating the various gifts they give to the rest of us. I want to find a way to support that.

5) To continue to open and be in Service to The All in my own ways.

6) To die with my children around me, knowing they continue to feel unconditionally loved and carry that with them wherever they go, whatever they do for the rest of their lives.


And I will invite anyone who wants to play with this Meme to do so!!!
