"Do not sit on your medicine."

“Do not sit on your medicine” she said.
But I have bills to pay, mouths to feed, deadlines to meet.
 
“Do not sit on your medicine” she said.
But who will listen? How will I know what to say? How will I know what to do?
 
“Do not sit on your medicine” she said.
Ok. With a humble heart, I’ll choose to begin.
 
Your medicine is unique to you.
Your medicine is what stands true.

Each step you take
Your soul will awake.

What is calling you
Will heal you.

What is calling you
Will befriend you.

What is calling you
Is what we need of you.

Your life is a gift
Please allow it to lift
Your potential off of the ground
To the beat of a different sound.

Your life purpose awaits
Your medicine is your fate.

Whatever is holding you back
Is based on a false belief in lack.

Follow your calling, you will be provided for
This part of life you will come to adore.

I promise when you look for answers within
Your spirit will teach you how to win.
​
Each step you take do it with love
This will help you to rise above.
 
Love,
Laurel
