Hold On

This has been a really hard week for us. Yesterday, my uncle died unexpectedly, in his sleep. Due to COVID, his memorial services will be delayed for quite some time. We are having to comfort our loved ones from afar. It all feels like just way too much, right now. This is my “go-to song”, when the waters of life get really rough.

Bless my heart, bless my soul.
Didn’t think I’d make it to 22 years old.
There must be someone up above sayin’,
“Come on, Brittany, you got to come on up.
You got to hold on…
Hey, you got to hold on…”

So, bless my heart and bless yours too.
I don’t know where I’m gonna go
Don’t know what I’m gonna do.
There must be somebody up above sayin’,
“Come on, Brittany, you got to come on up!
You got to hold on…
Hey, you got to hold on…”

“Yeah! You got to wait!
Yeah! You got to wait!”
But I don’t wanna wait!
No, I don’t wanna wait…

So, bless my heart and bless my mind.
I got so much to do, I ain’t got much time
So, must be someone up above saying,
“Come on, girl! Yeah, you got to get back up!
You got to hold on…
Yeah, you got to hold on…”

“Yeah! You got to wait!”
I don’t wanna wait!
But I don’t wanna wait!
No, I don’t wanna wait!

You got to hold on…
You got to hold on…
You got to hold on…
You got to hold on…

  1. Dear Kelly,
    I am sorry for the loss in your family. It is very difficult being away from loved ones. I can certainly relate, I am away from my mom and dad, too. I always think, God has me where I am supposed to be, and I try my best to do what I can. I hope you find some peace.
    You are in my thoughts and prayers.
    Hold on….

  2. Thinking of you. Loss is hard at any time, but more so these days. I hope your family can find some peace. Sending you hugs.

  3. Wow, girl, this has been quite a week.

    We are in the midst of eclipse season, which always shakes up “normal”, and there are six planets in retrograde right now. As a collective, we are being pushed, pulled, and dragged kicking and screaming into a new era. Ultimately it will be for our good, but the transition is rough!

    Stay focused on your family, pause and assess before moving forward, avoid impulsive action if possible. True communication will be difficult from now through the middle of July, so try to make sure your loved ones are all on the same page. Hunker down and do your best to be caring and compassionate. When you want to lash out in frustration take a time-out for yourself. This summer is going to be an emotional roller coaster, so know what you can do to make yourself feel calm and collected. Ride your bike, go for a walk, hug your furries, take a bubble bath, escape into a favorite book. It may seem selfish at the time, but it will be for the good of all.

    And remember, you are the alpha. You possess all the inner strength you need to successfully navigate the events of this week. Your higher power is with you – always – just waiting to provide solace and assistance. Don’t be afraid to call out in a moment of weakness. God will not let you down. You are deeply loved.

    1. Thank you, Kelly. I’ve been blessed with a strong faith since I can remember, so I know that I and my loved ones, will pull through all of this for the better. It’s not lost on me how accurate my astrology has been lately. Thank you for caring. <3
