From the lyrics of “Blessed Be” by Faith Rivera and Sue Riley:Life unfolds with grace and ease, endless possibilities.
They’re everywhere, they’ve always been, when I choose to let them in.
I’ve outgrown those smaller dreams, the way they used to limit me.
I make the space, invite love in. Magic fills my life again.
There’s something bigger calling me, to follow where my passion leads.
I trust that flow, don’t need to know. I dance into the Great Unknown!
Gonna set it free, let things be, let the thrill of life carry me,
‘Cause now I know, I’m in the flow. I’m finally free, Oh, blessed be!
