I Believe In You

Good morning friends!

Happy Monday! I hope your weekend was fabulous and full of your favourite things. I hope you enjoyed last weeks post from my dearest friend. We grew up writing together and her words and wisdom mean everything to me. It was an honour to share her work here.

Today’s post is another spotlight on some food for the soul: Music. A week or so ago I was reminded of my love for Amanda Marshall. The Canadian singer has some incredibly impactful music and I’m instantly reminded of my mum when I hear her songs. Growing up we listened and sang to Amanda Marshall together, and even got to see her live at an outdoor festival together. Her songs will always hold a special place in my heart. They are truly like familiar hug that brings back so many memories. Thank you mum, for sharing her with me.

The song I really wanted to share today is a simple one. It’s a beautiful message wrapped up in delicate music and powerful imagery. It’s called “I Believe In You.”

This song is a little love letter to the people you care about. It’s a beautiful way to remind someone, or even yourself, that you’ve got this. I wanted to share this strength with you. I believe in you. Your family and friends believe in you. There is someone out there who believes in you, even it’s Amanda Marshall.

Once you hear this song you just can’t help but sing along. I love belting it out and pretending I’m half as good as Amanda; this is a pipe dream but we sing like no one is listening anyways… especially when there actually is no one else listening! So when you find a song that touches your heart, mind, soul AND makes you want to sing? Well you’ve got a winner for sure. Music is medicine, remember? This one is a strong dose. It makes me emotional every time and the way she sings with conviction that she believes, really feels like she is talking to you. She believes in you.

“I believe in you I can't even count the ways that
I believe in you and all I want to do is help you to believe in you

I will hold you up, I will help you stand
I will comfort you when you need a friend
I will be the voice that's calling out”

I hope that you play this track today and feel the support from the words. Let them hold you and remind you that you are strong. Whatever you are facing has got nothin’ on you. I believe in you. I hope that you come back to this song when you need a boost, or reminder, of your strength. Believe in yourself. I hope that you send it to someone you care about to remind them you’re in their corner. That you believe in them.

Remember it’s little things that make life extraordinary. It’s finding a song that makes things better and sharing it. It’s letting people know you’re there and that you care. Listen, sing, and share. I promise it feels good.

You can listen on Spotify or YouTube.

I love seeing your comments and reading your messages. I know times can be tough and if you ever need a friend I am here. I believe in you and I’m happy to chat. You can reach me on social media too.

As always, be gentle with yourself,

Katrina
