It's the climb to self-independence!

It's the climb that really matters
I was sitting in the car and  distributing magazines with my daughter when a song by Miley Cyrus was played on B98.7.  My nine year old daughter turned the volume up, excited that they were playing her music on my radio station.  As I listened to the words, I realized how powerful this song was for me and many other single moms ~ especially for my daughter.

The Climb

I can almost see it
That dream I am dreaming
But there's a voice inside my head saying
"You'll never reach it"

Every step I'm taking
Every move I make feels
Lost with no direction
My faith is shaking

But I gotta keep trying
Gotta keep my head held high

There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be a uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose

Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
IT'S THE CLIMB

The struggles I'm facing
The chances I'm taking
Sometimes might knock me down
But no, I'm not breaking

I may not know it
But these are the moments that
I'm gonna remember most, yeah
Just gotta keep going

And I, got to be strong
Just keep pushing on

'Cause there's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be an uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose

Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
IT'S THE CLIMB - YEAH!


WHAT A POWERFUL SONG!! yeah and from Miley Cyrus... who knew! 
As I sat listening and crying in my car listen to this beautiful song, I realized it is THE CLIMB which makes us who we are and not the end result.
Sometimes the climb feels just to steep, to many rocks to maneuver around, and your energy exhausted but this is when we realize our STRENGTH!
WE REALIZE OUR CAPACITY TO BECOME SMARTER, STRONGER, POWERFUL AND "THE BEST THAT WE CAN BE".... THIS IS WHERE WE GAIN OUR INDEPENDENCE.... INSIDE, AN INDEPENDENCE OF THE SPIRIT!

On these days of independence may you reflect on your growth from your climb and embrace the wonderful person you have become because of it!
