Black Pearls Vol 1. Lessons in the Lyrics
Strength, Courage, and Wisdom — You’ve Had the Power Inside You All Along
The series, Black Pearls, begins. In Vol. 1 I share the life lessons found in the lyrics of soulful songs written and performed by Black Women. In this installment, we discover the power of Strength, Courage, and Wisdom with IndiaArie.
While each of us is on our Shero and Hero’s journey of self-awareness and self-realization, we hear the call to adventure, leave our ordinary world, and cross the threshold to an unknown world.
The unknown world may be a new job, business, city, creative project, relationship, or a dream you are ready to realize.
Once we enter this unknown world, we find ourselves in the belly of the whale and on a road of trials that will test our beliefs, confidence, esteem, and aptitude. And yet, if we take the journey, we discover what we are made of and what we can truly achieve.
“Inside my head there lives a dream that I want to see in the sun, Behind my eyes there lives a me that I’ve been hiding for much too long.” — India.Arie Lyrics from Strength, Courage, and Wisdom
