“If you want to sing out, sing out. And if you want to be free, be free. ‘Cause there’s a million ways to be.” – Cat Stevens

Remember this little tune from that old movie, Harold and Maude? Cat Stevens was pretty clever at voicing the right to be whatever we choose. But, often we get so caught up in our daily dramas and obligations that what we choose to be either gets put on the backburner or shelved completely. We work crazy hours, dedicate our lives to the needs of our family – which isn’t necessarily a bad thing – and we often are just so exhausted by the end that we zone out in front of the TV. What about the yearnings of your childhood-self, the one that wanted to fly kites on Saturday afternoons, or take a belly-dancing class? What about that deep desire for a massive career change that seems impossible at the moment? Try setting aside a few stolen moments every day to sing out and be free, and recognize whatever way you most strongly choose to be.
