Hi, I'm Karolyn Marie Roberts and welcome to the Episode 17 of Koffee With Karolyn!
So when I was deciding what I wanted the very first episode of 2014 to be, I went thru my
song catalog & I remembered I had a great old song called "Begin." I love starting a
new year because I feel like I'm starting fresh with a clean slate, it always feels
good to take down the Christmas tree and decorations and clean & organize the house & get ready
for a brand new year.
When I found the lyrics & music for my song Begin, I laughed when I saw the date I originally
wrote it. I originally wrote the song in January of 2004! So it is the 10 year anniversary
this month of when I wrote this song. And when I wrote it, I had just walked away from
a long term relationship because this relationship wasn't exactly what I was looking for. It
was one of those relationships that you stay in too long because you are scared you might
not be able to find something better, but you're not completely happy all along and
one day you finally grow the balls to walk away.
That was where I was when I wrote this song. I hadn't played this song in years and when
I started playing it again a few weeks ago, I contemplated changing some of the lyrics
because it's not where I personally am anymore. But then I thought, no, I think I need to
keep the lyrics exactly as they were when I wrote them. I may not be in that place now,
but I was in that place 10 years ago when I wrote it.
Have you recently begun again? What experience have you had with starting over. Did you have
a serious relationship or marriage that recently ended? Did you recently move to a different
state or change careers or maybe lose a significant amount of weight?
Email me at KoffeeWithKarolyn@gmail.com I would love to hear from you!
Are you starting over again as we begin 2014? Lets Begin
this
new year together!
