One Raindrop Raises the Sea

When I was a little girl I remember not only being infatuated with the film Free Willy but also with the soundtrack. That Christmas I got my very first portable cassette Walkman and album to the movie. I remember riding my bike around my neighborhood with tape in tow on repeat, cheerfully singing along for all to hear. To this day, I still enjoy listening to music with headphones while riding my bike, I just don't sing as freely.
Michael Jackson's voice is not only soothing and inspiring but so full of soul..... something meant to share with the World.

I love that movie. It made me cry. I know what you mean when you talk about how the music goes so well, with the whole movie. ps. I love your hair.

Yay Michael! He was such a gentle, generous, and extremely talented man. His music has a way of finding you inside and just connecting.

Your outfit is amazing...and your hair is gorgeous!

Usually a lurker but i wanted to say my .2c

I " like " how anonymous people think their comments count. Some people need to get a life...

Erika, with talent beauty and perseverance the weeds will try to tumble you down. Don't let them.

Michael Jackson would have loved this post in his honor. I found the nod to MJ with your white socks brilliant.

Aura said...

Stripes. I love it.

How many meters long is your hair? It would take me years but it's so nice to look at. ^^

Ashley said...

I'm very much loving the red lips! xo

Hey Erika,
I'm sure you overread mental garbage. Just skip it.
I love the shirt, your hair, your boots - and your posing. I watched "Free Willy" when I was a little child, too: It was a prize for a relay I won with my school team ... never quitted singing on the bike ...

I love the silhoutte of this outfit! And your hair is just stunning!

KateMossFan said...

Wow your hair is SO long!!!
Hot shoes!
If I ride my bike, I never dare to listen to music because I'm afraid I won't pay attention to the traffic and cause an accident.
That's why I don't ride my bike so much, because I love to listen to music during transport. I always listen to music when I walk somewhere.

i loveeee your shoes!! so great.

Loving the red lip too :)

I loved Free Willy back in the day too and as for Michael Jackson, I think he was a misunderstood man with the voice and talents of an angel. Bless <3

Hey, Anon no 1!
'cos I know you're reading FC's comments, as you're somewhat obviously obsessed with her - ever heard of the saying "do as to others as you would have them do unto you"?!

Erika is as beautiful and talented on the outside as she is inside. That's why she's as popular, appreciated and inspirational as she is.
How about you take some of her class act as inspiration and grow yourself instead of behaving in such a base and pitiful manner?

diamondsinchampagne said...

Love the striped cardi
