Who Says????????

Sometimes I find a song that speaks to where I am at in my life, that’s what Who Says by Selena Gomez has done.  Ok….I know, Selena, she’s a teen pop star, but my 14 year old shared the song with me. The lyrics are the essence of becoming Jayne. Who is the culprit this song speaks of?

                                              Me of course

             My own self talk

                            I am the one that tells myself I’m not worthy,

                                                                             I don’t have potential.  

I’m also the one with the power to say….

                                                I’m just beautiful me…….Becoming Jayne.

Selena Gomez: Who Says Lyrics

You made me insecure
Told me I wasn't good enough
But who are you to judge
When you're a diamond in the rough
I'm sure you got some things
You'd like to change about yourself
But when it comes to me
I wouldn't want to be anybody else

I'm no beauty queen
I'm just beautiful me

You've got every right
To a beautiful life
Who says
Who says you're not perfect
Who says you're not worth it
Who says you're the only one that's hurting
Trust me
That's the price of beauty
Who says you're not pretty
Who says you're not beautiful
Who says

Ease and Effort

I had my second becoming Jayne adventure. I went to San Diego to celebrate my 47^th birthday. There is nothing like the view of the ocean and the warm sun to distract a person from having a birthday. I stayed in La Jolla, went to sleep with the sound of the ocean.

 “It is one thing to dream, it’s another to make your dreams happen.”

I met two sweet, young ladies on the plane we bonded over Neosporin and their remote connection to Longview. A swab of Neosporin up your nose is recommended by John Tesh, this is meant to keep away any extra germs you might be exposed to on the plane.  Kate and Jazz were nice enough to share their stash with me. The conversation centered around   the meaning of life and how to take control of your life, a little mentoring on the plane.

On Saturday morning, I took a Yoga class.  I enjoyed the class very much as the instructor encouraged the practice that was adequate to my ability and strength. She focused the body and mind on how to find your balance between ease and effort.

I embrace the ease and effort, my weekend away, time to relax, see a friend; all in all, I built my confidence, empowered myself, knowing that I am capable. Becoming Jayne has me living somewhere between ease and effort, the ease to live my life, true to my spirit, and the effort to make it happen.
