Friday reflection

Lin Manuel Miranda edition

Hello!

Between Encanto and Vivo, my home has been steeped in Lin Manuel Miranda lately, and I felt to share with you one song in particular…

Quote

I bounce to the beat of my own drum

I’m a “wow” in a world full of ho-hum

I’m a wild young lady, but you know ‘sum?

I’d rather be at home with my own drum

Listen to this full, glorious anthem of messy, fabulous girlhood:

Questions for reflection

How does this song make you feel? Start there. Write it down.

For further reflection:

• Do you wish you were free to bounce to the beat of YOUR own drum?

• Did you feel more free when you were younger, or do you feel more free now?

• If you were 6 times bolder, how might you express yourself today?

Damn you, LMM and your ear worms, but also, and more importantly — thank you.
