Every so often I will hear a song that unlocks the door to a room I’ve kept closed and hidden from thought for years. Kelly Clarkson’s Breakaway has lyrics that uncovered the little misfit girl I used to be, especially in these lines:
Trying hard to reach out
But when I tried to speak out
Felt like no one could hear me
Wanted to belong here
But something felt so wrong here
So I prayed I could break away
As my theme for April, I am going to
. . . take a risk
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway
Happy Julian Calendar New Year to everyone!
