Sweat, Tears, or the Sea: An anthem!

An anthem!

As I was packing up my avenues apartment, my sister in Virginia informed me that she was super excited for me to call her because she'd just assigned "Girl on Fire" as my new ringtone.

dear people, how had i never heard this song before? do i live under 5000 rocks?!

...i'm going to just go out on a limb and say it's an appropriate anthem for 2013. The video is also awesome, watch it here.

I invite you to copy this song for your own 2013 anthem. I have a few posts brewing about women. But we'll just start here with Alicia Keys throwing it down. (before I declare the media the most dangerous threat to my personal empowerment and invite you to boycott the Bachelor with me).

"The summer I spent in Taos I sometimes rode out to the eastern hills late in the afternoon with the sun at my back. No one else seemed to go there. When the sun went down and was not shining in my eyes I would ride back to the Pueblo. The plain was covered with the grey sage that in a few places crept up a bit against the base of the mountains, looking like waves lapping against the shore. It was a wide wide quiet area. But out in those hills I picked up mussel shells in groups all turned to stone—probably millions of years old. They sometimes even had a little bit of the original blue color. I carried them back and left them somewhere in the unknown. I haven’t seen any more shells like them and haven’t seen a sea of sage like that either."
