I Found Me

Written by Valerie Davis & Barry Coffing ©2008


Wow. This song was truly an inspiration. I came up with the idea after watching an episode of Oprah Winfrey. Lance Armstrong's x-wife was on the show speaking about the fact that when she lost Lance...she found herself. What a concept! It happens to so many of us, women in particular who are wonderful housewives, mothers, friends, and help mates to some many. We give our all to others happily and forget about the dreams that we have held deep inside that we have never realized. Forfeiting and giving at the same time without mumbling a word. Lance's x-wife spoke of how she was not "Lance bashing" just simply explaining how she lost herself while giving and found herself again when she lost Lance. Gaining while losing...sometimes when we let go of things we leave a space for ourselves...to finally breathe and grow...and get....and that is a good thing.

Thanks Oprah! See you on the show soon...(law of attraction in full affect! )

Valerie
