    I love that she takes her time before speaking. I can imagine the energy of being at the table can be overwhelming and I think she breathes deeply to bring about clarity, and to formulate her thoughts. As a sufferer of high-anxiety; this touched me. We are not always aware of how simple breathing can relax and calm us - our thoughts, and our body. Of course, we sometimes need more than just breathing but I think it’s a foundational start to calming ourselves so that we can be better prepared. That’s what I took from her interview... Love her tremendously!

    "He airbrushes the sky in yellow blue and purple hues, and, places a poetic spin on my tongue kinda sorta something like Langston Hughes, lifting me out of 'The Weary Blues.' And my dues? My dues He paid in full. These are all clues to remind me just how much He loves me. He overlooks my flaws, looking upon me with adoration and favoring me as though: I Am His holy nation. Now? Now I can lift this veil of disguise and like Maya Angelou, 'Still I Rise.' "So when the nights seem long and the days seem blue, remember I, just like you, am a 'Phenomenal Woman,' too!

    India.Arie! She's such a beautiful spiritual and beautiful soul. I've been in a career for 20 years myself and I've been recently saying I am tired of this and I'm ready to retire. I'm ready for a new chapter but just like she said about the carrot being dangled.... I know it's going to happen but I don't feel like I want it. I am just hesitant because I've been doing this for 20 years, what does the rest look like. My purpose is service to others but I don't know what that looks like right now.
