Hey Class
It is NEVER too late to make a new friend, it really isn’t. I love meeting and getting to know people, I love people. I’m so happy and thankful that I got to meet Susie today. She’s a positive influence and it was absolutely wonderful to spend time with her after class today instead of the regular ‘hey what’s up?’ situation. I do see potential in our newfound friendship. My main regret through this semester when it comes to Marlen’s class is letting my own state of mind hinder me from coming to class or talking to people, getting to know you guys. I absolutely love how you all became a family. It’s precious. This is an experience in which you all share and no one can ever take away from you. There are so many personalities within one classroom with every personality being shown instead of completely hidden. Marlen, you impact so many lives and I’m so glad that other lives are impacting you greatly as well. You’re not only giving giving giving, you are also receiving. You do beautiful work. You being so open with yourself inspires others to be open with themselves. We tend to hide different parts of ourselves but why is that? It seems to me that sharing who we are comes with more opportunities, experiences, positive changes, and benefits compared to holding back a whole bunch. I have a voice. You seeked it. I showed it. I still have comfort zones. I still get shy. I still have no idea what to say at times. I get quiet. I get reserved. But all of that can slowly wash away so that I may be more open and free. The more we share the less we hold in. The less we hold in, the lighter the load. The lighter the load, the more free we feel. It’s time to do what it takes to be free. Be me. Be you. We’ll all be ourselves, share who we are, connect, laugh, cry, hurt, love, rant, talk, listen, walk, run, dance; beautiful.

Outstretched Hands
Simply thankful
I’m being used for good things
Feels refreshing
Important to stay on track,
To help others get on or stay on track
I have love to give, a heart to share
Why keep it all to myself?
We all make a difference in this world
All of us
We get to choose what kind through what we say and do
Which branches off of the way we think
Pain leads to strength, endurance
Which leads to helping others when they need strength and hope
My heart is drawn to those who need it
I love being here
Glad to be me of all people
Might feel insane at times, but I’m okay
There is nothing I can not pull through
God is with me, always there waiting for me to talk to him
And when I really do,
I feel free, focus on what’s good and fulfilling
God lifts me up so that I may share what he’s done for me,
so that others know He can do the same for them
It’s an ongoing cycle, lifting one another up
Never hold back on lending a hand
You really don’t know who truly needs it
You just may touch a heart or two
Go for it
