Catch My Breath

I had the opportunity to see Kelly Clarkson live on the Fourth of July. It was an amazing show! I was in awe at how talented she truly is live.

At the beginning of the year I heard her song 'Catch My Breath' it really stuck with me and I thought to myself, this is my song for 2013. The lyrics really inspire me. Every time I hear this song I feel empowered to make a difference, to keep going, to be strong and to never give up.

Kelly was only 19 years old when she won American Idol. ( I was only 19 when I placed my baby for adoption) Though I know these two situations are NOT comparable, the song itself made me think of my own long and difficult journey.

Every now and then we do need to stop and catch our breath. Life can bring us down, it can be a struggle, but it is also a beautiful gift that can teach us so much if we stop and listen, take a breath and enjoy living in the moment.


Kelly's words on Catch My Breath:
This song represents who I've been, what I've felt, and where I'm headed as not only an artist but as a 30 year old that is now smart enough to know that it's time to stop, catch my breath, and be proud of not only what has been accomplished but of all the people that have helped me become the woman I am today.
