India Arie is a great artist. If you haven't heard her, it's time to start.
Some quotes I heard from her today really struck a chord with me.

" There is a blessing in every lesson"

" A girl isn't what she wears she's what she knows"

" The next time the radio tells you to shake your money maker, shake your head and tell them your a leader"

She has got the right idea.
Go listen.
