Welcome back to my new blog, Beginnings, where we chat about Fresh Starts, New Cycles, Exploration, Experimentation and Creativity! 

This is a very special post to me because I am sharing a brand new song that I received basically as a surprise in connection with this new blog, Beginnings. I’ve been working diligently behind the scenes, working with lyric, melody, tempo, and composition on the piano in readiness to share this song with you, dear friend. 

The reason why I’m so excited to share this is the Message behind it. My aim and goal with this song is to encourage you, inspire you and empower you as a Creator in your own life, giving you the impetus to take those first steps, with courage and bravery, in whatever way you are choosing to do. 

I have shared the lyrics to this new song, our theme song, Beginnings, with the purpose to giving you something to run with, sing along with, to buoy you up, especially when you could use a little uplifting in your journey. 

If you would like to learn more about my experience with receiving this song and writing the lyrics and what that has meant to me, you’re welcome to watch my first vlog here. I explain it in detail. 

Let me just say here that it is a gift to me as a Creator and I want to pass that gift on to you! 
I hope it deeply resonates with you. Please let me know if it becomes a source of encouragement to you in your 
creative pursuits! I’d love to hear from you. 

Beginnings 
Words and music by Dawn Herring 

This is your Beginning
Just knowing Who You Are

This is your Beginning
Look how You’ve come so far

Beginnings are the Magic
That spur You on

Beginnings Reveal
Where You’ve come from 

Beginnings are the Place
Where It Starts

Beginnings are the Promise
That Sets You Apart 

Believe in Your Vision
In What You See

Believe in Your Power
To Make It Be

Believe in Your Knowing
That Shows You How

And Watch It Grow to Be
From Just a Seed
To a Flowering 

You are welcome to watch the video so you can hear the melody; and then you’re welcome to sing along! 
I hope it’s a song that resonates deeply and gives you courage to keep going toward your creative dreams! 

Believe in yourself as a Creator; Trust Your Intuition; See yourself doing what brings you the Greatest Joy and then take one step and then another until you’re on a roll! And then keep going! 

You have a Creative Gift that only you can fulfill. Use it to make the world a better place. 
And we will Celebrate together! 

Because here at Refresh with Dawn Herring, Beginnings Are Celebrated! And so are YOU! 

I wish you the very Best of Beginnings! 

Welcome back to Beginnings, Where we talk about Fresh Starts, New Cycles, Exploration, Experimentation and Creativity. In this post, I will be sharing about some New Music I’ve written and composed for the piano. I will share lyrics, my reflections on the meaning behind the song, as well as journaling prompts for further reflection to take with you. 

I wrote the spiritual song, The Eternal Now, last year (2021), when I had a lot of questions about the future. There was so much changing on the home front and I was looking for answers. My first place to look is always through prayer, but sometimes the practical side of life seems to require an external source. And when it doesn’t come right away, or there are too many options concerning the subject matter, it can sometimes be overwhelming. 

In recent years I have come to understand that much frustration and angst can result from looking to the future to the point of struggle rather than being in the Now. I found that the more I spent time just focusing on what I could do in the Moment, the more peace I felt. 

Another issue I was addressing was Trust in the Divine; and when I choose that Trust, it brings  even more Peace. 

So my spiritual song, The Eternal Now, was my way of expressing this understand that Now is all there is and all that matters in the moment. And in that Now Space, Wisdom resides, bringing clarity and direction and that inner knowing, a powerful place of Intuition we have all been gifted with. 

And when I experience this energy within myself, I no longer look outside of myself but within, where Divinity lives and moves and blesses me with Presence. 

I have offered the lyrics to The Eternal Now below. I hope it lifts and inspires you! 

I look to Now
For the Answers
As my questions turn to dust

I look to peace
in the place
that requires I must

I see the space 
that is open
Timeless and True

I rejoice 
In the knowing
That comes from you

From within
I am certain
From within
I know

That you are here
And I am with you

I rejoice
In the Eternal Now


Journaling prompt: 
Is there a situation in your life where you feel like you need external answers to your questions? 
Do you find yourself looking to the future and wonder if NOW is where you will find peace?  Detail this situation in your journal and list off ways you can become more present from moment to moment. As you implement these ideas, record any change you experience in contrast to any struggle you’ve had with looking externally. Also detail if an answer came when you least expected it as a result of your presence in the Now.
