Susan notes: Alicia Keys captures the essence of every woman with this amazing song performed live in Madrid in 2007, and posted here to honour International Women's Day, March 8, 2010.
To introduce the song, Keys says: "OK, if I need to hear some good words, I guess I'm gonna have to write them..." The song lyrics appear below the video clip.
Susan notes: the Daily OM is onside with what I’ve been saying for years: Let’s Dance! See below for a ton of links to dance-related inspiration on AWR :)
As children, most of us were encouraged to dance on a regular basis, freely and openly, in whatever way felt best.
A few of us may have retained or regained our ability to engage in dancing unselfconsciously, but by the time we reach adulthood, many of us have stopped dancing altogether. We may have hang-ups about our bodies, or we may fear being judged.
Then again, we may simply have fallen out of the habit for so long that we don‚t even realize we never dance anymore. Whatever the case, there‚s no time like now to rediscover the healing pleasure of moving your body to music˜alone, as part of a couple, or in a group. Opportunities to dance abound, once you start looking for them.
