Something I think we all can use is a little hope. Without hope for the better, our Connections to Life, Others and Yourself would become harder to keep. Hence, this week’s Soul Music choice. However, hope should not be our goal…
Hope is a stepping stone
Currently, I’m taking a short course created by a colleague and in it, she reminds her students: Hope is a stepping stone. And Rika has a point with this statement. Hope is important to have, to continue to believe there will come better times. However, it cannot be a goal in itself. Hope is a good motivator to take action, to reach a goal. To actively pursue, create, whatever it is you hope for.
Set a realistic goal, within your control.
You might find yourself in a dark place right now. Maybe you feel overwhelmed, anxious, or frustrated by current (worldly) events. Just like Natasha, I’ve got hope and you can take a little, when you need it. Pass it on, when you no longer do. Let’s hope together for better times. And let’s step up together, to create better times…
I hope, you still have hope!
Hope - Natasha Bedingfield
Lyrics
Remember morning always comes
As night surrenders to the sun
No matter how dark it may become
Don’t stop your light from shining on
And nothing’s ever finished
Not unless you walk away
You see I’ve got hope
So you could use a little, use a little
Leave it when you’ve done it
And I won’t let go
‘Cause with a little, with a little it can go a long way
Hoooo-ope hooooo-ope, hoooo-ope
I’ve got hope
It’s easier to say you can’t when you know you can,
It’s easier to let go then to hold somebody’s hand
But if you do, then you might just understand yeah
That it’s okay to not know where you’re gonna end
‘Cause nothing’s ever over till you say it’s over
And nothing’s ever finished
Not unless you walk away
You see I’ve got hope
So you could use a little, use a little
Leave it when you’ve done it
And I won’t let go
‘Cause with a little, with a little it can go a long way
I’ve got hope
So you could use a little, use a little
Leave it when you’ve done it
And I won’t let go
‘Cause with a little, with a little it can go a long way
Ooh oh oh oh oh,
You need hope
Oooh oh oh oh oooh,
I got hope
I got hope
You see, I’ve got hope
So you could use a little, use a little
Leave it when you’ve done it
And I won’t let go
‘Cause with a little, with a little it can go a long way
I’ve got hope
So you could use a little, use a little
Leave it when you’ve done it
And I won’t let go
‘Cause with a little, with a little it can go a long way
Oooh oh oh oh oooh Oooh oh oh oh oooh
I’ve got hope
Give me hope
I need a hand, I need a hand, I need a hand

Soul Connection
There are many ways to Boost Your Soul and music is a fantastic one. There are a variety of genres you can listen to, even Soul Music is a genre in itself. To me, music is also a way to Connect with your Soul. A tool to help you go through emotions and acknowledge them. Depending on your mood, there will be always a piece of art that goes along with it. What I love most about music is how it can Connect people.
