The Part of YOU

I spent yesterday cleaning the house and getting ready for a special guest. This meant cleaning out my sewing room, moving furniture, packing and repacking, reorganizing.  It was a lot of work, but I had helpers.  At one point in the day, after the Pink CD I was listening to ended, I heard Ravynn bopping through the house singing some lyrics I wasn’t familiar with.  I asked her was song it was and who sang it.  Katy Perry and she didn’t know the title, but she sang a little more of it for me.

Now, I’m not a huge Katy Perry fan. I’d really hardly be considered a fan at all, but I do like the catchy tunes of a few of her songs [particularly California Girls 😉 ].  These lyrics struck me.

This is the part of me that you’re never gonna ever take away from me
This is the part of me that you’re never gonna ever take away from me
Throw your sticks and stones
Throw your bombs and your blows
But you’re not gonna break my soul
This is the part of me that you’re never gonna ever take away from me
 
As I listened to Ravynn sing, I wondered what was the part of ME that no one can ever take away. What is it that defines who I am and that  cannot be separated from who I am? 

 I encourage you to find that part of you – and to nurture it.
