Do you receive lots of chain email asking you to pass it to ten people in 10  minutes or else?

If you’re like me, you hit the delete key in a flash.

It’s not that I don’t like sharing good stuff, it’s just that I don’t like chain spam from people insisting that I continue the spam assault on my mailing list.

But when you receive an email from someone with whom you’ve built a relationship, it’s a different story.

For example, a few days ago I received an email from my friend and fellow coach, Beverlee, from www.WalkingintheNow. It was an original motivational poem she wrote.  She agreed to let me share it with you.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

There are times in this life when my smile is real

My eyes shine with mirth to express my zeal

I walk much lighter with a carefree step

The commitments I make are all proudly kept

People are drawn to my inner light

I’m like a beacon they follow even out of sight

These are the moments when I am most proud

To help those around me let go of their doubt

Then there are days when the reverse is true

I hide under covers feeling quite blue

I worry and stress about all that might be

Forgetting the NOW that I practice with glee

What can I do to make this moment count

When bills and debt seem hard to surmount

I sit down and write my thoughts to inspire

Words dancing on pages as my mood transpires

Soon the creativity brings light to my heart

I am ready to begin all the tasks I must start

I look forward to the challenge of who I can be

A beacon of light for all to see

I’m excited and scared as I plan out my dream

Aware of the pieces and parts of my scheme

I let go of perfection as it gets in my way

My smile is real for the success of today
