I had the honour of receiving a storyteller reading from the very gifted @Rena Nicole. She has the ability to craft beautiful and profound stories and anthems for people, just by asking them a few questions. If you haven't booked a a reading with her yet, I highly recommend you do! Listening to the anthem she created for me brought tears to my eyes. I felt the emotions and vibrations of this song through my body. Have a listen to this anthem, and let me know what you think 💛: “I Rise” I used to stand at the edge of the room Heart beating loud like a warning in bloom Watching the world while I stayed in the shade Smiling outside while I quietly frayed I told myself I was just not that kind The one who could speak with a fearless mind But deep in the silence a fire would say You were not born just to hide away Every tremble, every doubt Every fear I lived without Wasn’t there to make me small It was the doorway through it all So I rise Bigger than fear, bigger than shame I’m not here to play small again I’ve got a voice, I’ve got a flame And I will not disappear again I’m stepping out, I’m standing tall Even if my hands still shake I was never meant to hide at all I’m the hero that my heart will make I used to think I had to be right Perfect and polished to stand in the light But truth came in like a sacred wind You don’t need armor to begin I learned that courage is not feeling none It’s taking the step when the fear still comes And every moment I stay with me Becomes the proof of who I’m meant to be Every silence, every scar Only showed me who You are Deep within, the wiser voice Saying, Wendy, now it’s time to choose So I rise Bigger than fear, bigger than shame I’m not here to play small again I’ve got a voice, I’ve got a flame And I will not disappear again I’m stepping out, I’m standing tall Even if my hands still shake I was never meant to hide at all I’m the hero that my heart will make
