I’m so excited to be hitting the road for the second leg of my tour starting in April! Which show will you be coming to? For tickets and VIP packages, visit http://davidarchuleta.com
I promised myself that I’ll just HAVE to listen to David sing this LIVE one day!
Love the dramatisation!
Another pic to drool over while waiting for that day 😉
Watching this newly published vid of David’s WHO I AM, which I have not listened for some time, sparked off some thoughts in my head. Firstly because that smile of his in that vid took a doggone prisoner of me for the rest of the day. That DANG smile.
We smile with our outer-self to make peace with the people around us. To accept us. To give the impression that we’re ok – that we’re friendly – that we’re happy. We do that all the time, everyday.
But the INNER SMILE. It’s a different story. IT IS NO EGO. IT IS CONNECTING TO THE TRUTH OF ONESELF. THERE IS INNER PEACE, NO TURMOIL. AND ACCEPTANCE OF ONESELF. Like what I see in the first image of the vid.
It’s ok cos I know where I am going
Just trying to walk in my own two shoes
To be able to profess something like that, we need inner strength to be committed to do as you feel. David did not lose his self-confidence or lost his way when certain periods of his career became a little muddled.
He came back to the path he had always wanted to pursue. Not only that, he was determined to carry on .. plodding on .. He trusted his own inner guidance. And not only that – he continued to play his Inner Child.
We have been noticing David never seems to grow old. George Bernard Shaw once said that we grow old because we stopped playing. And David, Hallelujah! never stopped playing. Never took himself too seriously. And never lost his courage.
I don’t know about you guys. I find that quality extreeeeemely sexy. Who cares about six-pack abs and bulging muscles!! 😛
Bottom line is: Do your thing. Don’t worry too much if others dont like it. You have expressed your true self. you are happy. If you don’t control your own destiny, someone else will plonk onto you and control you.
David’s great balance of work and play and commitment to his inner strength have helped him evolve into a person worthy of admiration and emulation. The worst enemy for him would have been self-doubt. He has risen like a phoenix to unfold his own inner myths. And to smile his very own infectious Inner Smile.

And this happened last night… while meeting David Archuleta, the heart rate monitor buzzed on my watch. Embarrassing but hilarious! 😳
Went to see a concert and actually came out enlightened. What a pensive and substantive man he has grown to be. He shared his personal struggles, spirituality, and charitable outlook on life during the show. Amazing experience.
There is NO END to ARCHU-SURPRISES!!
A tweet from Natalie-Weiss reveals a wonderful surprise – you can read about her here http://www.natalieweiss.net/about.htm
“That time I basically accosted @davidarchie on the street, fan girled SO hard, and told him that I died for him on Idol and my friend and I used to be obsessed with his butter riff at the end of “Angels”.
He told me he had just come from his first Broadway audition! ”
W O A H ! !
BROADWAY AUDITION!!!
And which Broadway show did he audition for?

The Secret Garden appeals to both young and old alike. It has wonderful elements of mystery, spirituality, charming characters and an authentic rendering of childhood emotions and experiences. Commonsense, truth and kindness, compassion and a belief in the essential goodness of human beings lie at the heart of this unforgettable story. It is the best known of Frances Hodgson Burnett’s works.

David really really knows how to pick ’em. This story is right up his alley.
Keeping our fingers and toes doubly crossed, I’m sure, that David will be successful in his audition and that he will be selected. HOW CAN HE NOT BE ??!!
Loving David’s hair!! Loving the forehead!! (or izzit the work of the wind??)
