No, not Elsa, or Ariel, or Anna, or whichever Disney princess sings that song. I’m thinking about something different here.

As I sat down at Starbucks this morning I heard a song that I was not familiar with. It had sort of a “dance” vibe without being overtly techno.

Good song? Meh. Good advice? For sure!

–Rise Up!!
