"Something Beautiful"

For those of you who follow this blog, or even pop in sometimes to see what we're up to, you know that this post is "off schedule."  We typically post on Monday, Wednesday & Friday...however, I couldn't help but share the following with you:

Part of owning a business is building your brand and reputation.  I'm also a firm believer that being a business owner means you're not only selling your products and services; you are selling yourself.  Especially in our business, we may work with our clients for several weeks or several months - but no matter how long our relationship we end up becoming friends with our clients and getting to know each other on a far deeper level.  I like to think we're transparent, and by allowing each of you into our lives, both professional and personal, you can understand our passion for what we do and our passion for our clients.

I was deeply moved today, and I want to share this with all of you.  As I was running (I'm training for the Detroit Freepress half marathon...YIKES!), a song started and within the first couple of seconds a shiver went through my body.  My first thought was "oh no, I can't be getting sick!"  And then I took a minute to focus and realized it was not a sickness, but the amazing lyrics to the song that sent that gave me goosebumps.  I want to share the song with you, it's called "Something Beautiful" by the group Need to Breath:

In your ocean, I'm ankle deep
I feel the waves crashin' on my feet
It's like I know where I need to be
But I can't figure out, yeah I can't figure out

Just how much air I will need to breathe
When your tide rushes over me
There's only one way to figure out
Will ya let me drown, will ya let me drown

Hey now, this is my desire
Consume me like a fire, 'cause I just want something beautiful
To touch me, I know that I'm in reach
'Cause I am down on my knees, I'm waiting for something beautiful
Oh, something beautiful

And the water is risin' quick
And for years I was scared of it
We can't be sure when it will subside
So I won't leave your side, no I can't leave your side

Hey now, this is my desire
Consume me like a fire, 'cause I just want something beautiful
To touch me, I know that I'm in reach
'Cause I am down on my knees, I'm waiting for something beautiful
Oh, something beautiful

In a daydream, I couldn't live like this
I wouldn't stop until I found something beautiful
When I wake up, I know I will have
No, I still won't have what I need

Hey now, this is my desire
Consume me like a fire, 'cause I just want something beautiful
To touch me, I know that I'm in reach
'Cause I am down on my knees, I'm waiting for something beautiful
Oh, something beautiful (fade out)

Take a listen for yourself:



I hope this song inspires & moves you as much as it did to me!  xoxo
