It was a lovely day last Friday whilst I listened to my Chrisette Michele station on iHeartRadio–It’s where I find some of my BEST New Music!!! I had just released the latest Feature Friday post on Music Director and Producer, Kavoris Fruster, when the skies opened up and heaven saw fit to bless me with a life-changing song (and I DO mean life-changing!!!)!
A hip tune caught my ear–something unfamiliar to me and something that seemed unusual for the artist, but she… She wasn’t unfamiliar at ALL. I LOVE India.Arie!!! She’s SO soulful and tells GREAT stories! I used to joke often about being her in a past life or becoming her in my current life’s future. Who wouldn’t want to walk around looking so carefree and happy and pleasant and having SUCH a beautiful voice with a nice guitar to match??! I WOULD!!! I would walk around Savannah beaming, bright-eyed and bushy tailed with parades of little children following me everywhere I go!!! I have not YET found myself in that place in life, so instead, I’ll share with you where I have found myself!
I have arrived at a place in life where I am FINALLY pursuing my DREAMS! Here I am, the dream coach, the life coach, the motivator, the speaker, the business manager and consultant SO focused on helping and motivating and encouraging and being a resource to everyone else that I had gotten to a point where I left no room for my own dreams, my own identity… for my own PURPOSE! THAT had to STOP! (Very abruptly in many cases! *shrug*)
I have now arrived to a place where I am dancing again! I am singing again! I am living again!!! I have arrived to a place where I am dreaming, hoping, wishing and PRAYING to help others dream, hope, wish, PRAY and SUCCEED!!!
To that end, here is my dedication: To YOU!!!
“Just Do You” by India.Arie
How all my fears are limiting my potential
Said it’s time to step into the light and
Use every bit of the power I have inside!
YEAH!
Who You waiting for?
If You don’t take a chance You’ll never know what’s in store
Just Do You (Somebody’s got to be a star!)
Just Do You (Somebody’s got to raise the bar!)
Just Do You (Somebody’s got to change the game!)
Just Do You (TODAY!)
Every mountain needs someone to climb it!
Every ocean needs someone to dive in!
Every dream needs someone to wish it!
Every adventure needs someone to live it!
So what’chu waiting on?!
Who You waiting for?!
If You don’t take a chance You’ll never know what’s in store!
Just Do You (Somebody’s got to be a star!)
Just Do You (Somebody’s got to raise the bar!)
Just Do You (Somebody’s got to change the game!)
Just Do You (TODAY!)
If You create the game then You create the rules!
And if You just be YOU
There’s no way You can lose!
There’s a story waiting for you to write it!
There’s a treasure waiting for you to find it!
There’s a picture waiting for you to paint it!
There’s a dollar waiting for you to make it!
So what’chu waiting on?!
Who You waiting for?!
If You don’t take a chance You’ll never know what’s in store!
Just Do You (Somebody’s got to be a star!)
Just Do You (Somebody’s got to raise the bar!)
Just Do You (Somebody’s got to change the game!)
Just Do You (TODAY!!!)
If You create the game then You create the rules!
And if You just be You
There’s no way You can lose!
