When you wake up, do you remember your dreams? 😴

All that I can vaguely remember from my dream last night is that The Beatles were performing some kind of mash up of “Let It Be” and “Yesterday.” 🤔

I wonder what that dream was about! 😁

To my surprise, I’ve never blogged about the song “Let It Be,” so I wanted to do so today!

“Let It Be” has been an important song in my life for years.

I remember that when something difficult had happened in my life, a friend told me to think of the song “Let It Be.”

Lyrics:

When I find myself in times of trouble, Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be
And in my hour of darkness she is standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be
Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be
And when the broken hearted people living in the world agree
There will be an answer, let it be
For though they may be parted, there is still a chance that they will see
There will be an answer, let it be
Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
Yeah, There will be an answer, let it be
Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be
Let it be, let it be, let it be, yeah let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be, be
And when the night is cloudy there is still a light that shines on me
Shine on until tomorrow, let it be
I wake up to the sound of music, Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be
Yeah let it be, let it be, let it be, yeah let it be
Oh there will be answer, let it be
Let it be, let it be, let it be, yeah let it be
Oh there will be answer, let it be
Let it be, let it be, let it be, yeah let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

I took my friend’s advice but then went one step further and found the guitar chords and lyrics so that I could play and sing the song to myself.

I made a cover of the song that deeply moved me, and I would play it over and over to help me heal. 💜

Once I started performing for others, I regularly played my cover of “Let It Be.”

No one is perfect.

Life isn’t perfect.

When we resist challenges, it makes the challenges even worse.

It’s not that we are able to avoid ever encountering challenges; it’s that we need to know how to best help ourselves get through those challenges. ❤️

Whenever I hear the song “Let It Be,” I think of my friend and appreciate how much the song has helped me through difficult times.

Is there a song that you find particularly healing?

If you’re currently experiencing a challenge, may you have the courage to do something for yourself to make things a little easier. 💙

May you be well! 💛
