Lessons from Yoko Ono

Possibly one of the most famous widows is Yoko Ono, who was married to John Lennon. She is 74 now and is just launching a new album – at 74! Speaking on metromix.com she says

”

Although she hasn’t released an album of all-new material in more than a decade, she’s stayed current with remix records like the recent “Open Your Box,” featuring Basement Jaxx and Pet Shop Boys. But at the age of 74, Ono isn’t looking to define herself. Asked what audiences can expect from her on stage, she answers, “Me. They can expect me.”

For someone who lost the love of her life, someone who has been hated for splitting up the beatles – she has shown a huge amount of resilience over the years. The sentence that stands out for me in the interview is ‘Me. They can expect me’

So often when we lose our soulmate we struggle to see how we can continue. You are a unique person, you are you….be confident in yourself, find the real you and then as you feel stronger…let the world see you   – not the widow, not the grief stricken soul but the beautiful person that radiates inside of you. That person is inside, that person was someone who captured your loved ones heart….find it again, to live again.
