I ran across this video today and cried my eyes out, and not bad tears, just amazed at the fact I for the first time in my life I really do think I am beautiful, like really really believe it, even on my bad days.... plus I am rather emotional this week anyway because a very special friend is leaving on his very special journey and so I am a ball of excited and sad energy.....

in
dripping
dreams
of
diligent digits delivering doses of delight ,
Damn!
I digress. ....
Tangibly Yours,
Alise*

I love me some India Arie... gosh I love her... every last one of her albums have been bangers... I think this was one of the songs that she did for Oprah's school in africa... when you buy it on itunes part of the proceeds go to the school... now you have me about to go do some research to see if she is working on a new album
