“I don't back down, and I don't stand down. “

Words from the Down Game, is the spirit of perseverance that release the power of boldness when facing challenges that enables the individual to achieve success.

The “Down” Game

There is a game in life, called “Down.”  If you play it, you will lose.

I don’t play the “Down” game. 

When I am told, I will lose, I say, I will win!

When I am told I can’t succeed, I say, I will.  

If I am told to stop! I proceed, I persevere!

When I am confronted with difficulties, I endure.

I won’t play this game of control!

I don't back down, and I don't stand down.

I won’t bow down for anyone.

I won’t play the “Down” game!

I am prepared to win, and not for shame.

*The way out of any bad situation is to never give up.

I Can’t Live Without You

To My Husband

Written by Ellen Jean Barrier

From the day we met at the age of 14 years, our love has grown throughout the years. It has been one of a spiritual force that will forever dwell within my heart. Our journey on this path has led us to marriage with a beautiful family. God has blessed us with profound happiness of two hearts that beat as one, and I Can’t Live Without You.

I Can't Live Without You

You’re in all my dreams

You’re in all my thoughts

I can’t live without you

You are all I need

And everything I desire

You have made my life complete

I can’t live without you

You are my life

You are my hope

You are my happiness

You are my love and truth

I can’t live without you

You have made my life complete

and I can’t live without you

Another Chance by Ellen J. Barrier

Description: Video on You Tube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hDIwvKYE37Y

My photo for Another Chance was taken on a very cold day in sleet and snow; because life is about changes and opportunities. We don’t always get a perfect picture. Each morning when I awaken, God has given me another chance to correct my errors.  His grace and Love have sustained me, and his mercy has blessed me. I thank God for another chance to be a better person.  I know there is a better future for me, with a greater purpose. I have an opportunity to make a perfect picture.

My Story behind the Lyrics by Ellen J. Barrier

 "I Want to Feel Your Power Today"

This is my story, behind the lyrics of this song.

  Ellen J. Barrier
Singer and Songwriter

My Story:

The ladder of success has many steps to climb, they are narrow and only one foot can fit upon each of them.
              

You can only take one step at a time. The more titles you add to your Resume the number of steps increases on your ladder of success, and so does the challenges.

 On my ladder of success I have faced many challenges from outside forces.  There were times when I felt as though I was barely hanging on. Multiple challenges were surmountable.

There were people who didn’t want me to succeed, and did everything they could to hinder my success.  There were some who discouraged me from continuing my goal to climb the ladder of success.

Other challenges I faced were financial, health, stress from lack of sleep due to all of the heavy burdens that weighted upon me.

This was the point in my life, when I was holding on to the ladder of success with all of the strength I had to keep from falling. I couldn't make the next step. 

On the day I sat at my keyboard and started to play music, the lyrics for "I want to Feel Your Power Today" came from within my Spiritual being to God. It was during this song that I was able to free my mind and feel  peace and strength,  I emptied all my emotions  that day while singing this song that I had no written words prior to.

Overwhelmed with my emotions, I cried all of the way through the song. Yet, it is not revealed in the song.  However, what appears to be tiny flaws, are at the points when I felt, I wouldn’t be able to continue the song. After I had finished singing the song, I knew I could continue up the ladder of success, because I felt a surge of power within my spirit that I had never felt before. And I said to those who no longer supported me; I will never give up! God needed to have me to know that within my Spiritual being, I know he will never fail me, because he loves me. He healed me of the illness I received from an injury, stress, financial distress, and blessed me abundantly.
