Let Her Be

May 5, 2018 by JoAnna 34 Comments

Let her be.

Let her be free.

Let her be better but only if she wants to be

However she wants to be.

Let her be herself.

Let her be a bee, buzzing around the backyard.

Let her be quiet watching the stillness of breath.

Let her breathe. Yes, breathe!

Let her be beautiful and brash.

Let her be whoever she wants to be.

Let her become who she was always meant to be.

Let her love who she wants to love.

Let her walk her own path with all the bumps and bruises

Let her become. Let her heal. Let her grow strong.

Let her be.

(This started out being about me, but then, I think it became about my daughter.)

Today’s Stream of Consciousness Saturday prompt was, “letter.”

For more Streams of Consciousness, visit Linda Hill at

2018/05/04/the-friday-reminder-and-prompt-for-socs-may-5-18/

Here are the rules:

1. Your post must be stream of consciousness writing, meaning no editing, (typos can be fixed) and minimal planning on what you’re going to write.

2. Your post can be as long or as short as you want it to be. One sentence – one thousand words. Fact, fiction, poetry – it doesn’t matter. Just let the words carry you along until you’re ready to stop.

3. There will be a prompt every week. I will post the prompt here on my blog on Friday, along with a reminder for you to join in. The prompt will be one random thing, but it will not be a subject. For instance, I will not say “Write about dogs”; the prompt will be more like, “Make your first sentence a question,” “Begin with the word ‘The’,” or simply a single word to get your started.

4. Ping back! It’s important, so that I and other people can come and read your post! For example, in your post you can write “This post is part of SoCS:” and then copy and paste the URL found in your address bar at the top of this post into yours. Your link will show up in my comments for everyone to see. The most recent pingbacks will be found at the top. NOTE: Pingbacks only work from WordPress sites. If you’re self-hosted or are participating from another host, such as Blogger, please leave a link to your post in the comments below.

5. Read at least one other person’s blog who has linked back their post. Even better, read everyone’s! If you’re the first person to link back, you can check back later, or go to the previous week, by following my category, “Stream of Consciousness Saturday,” which you’ll find right below the “Like” button on my post.

6. Copy and paste the rules (if you’d like to) in your post. The more people who join in, the more new bloggers you’ll meet and the bigger your community will get!

7. As a suggestion, tag your post “SoCS” and/or “#SoCS” for more exposure and more views.

8. Have fun!
