We are all Susan Boyle

I know you've already seen this 5.9 million times, but this time, I want you to give yourself a "Yes" and go back to your own small village with your bad hair held high, blowing kisses to strangers.

Keep singing your song, and I will too. What else is a church volunteer to do?

I actually hadn't seen this, Karen! Thank you for passing it along!

Oh, Susan Boyle...no words, only big smiles, and two thumbs up!!

(crawling back under my rock now, have a good day topside!)

Oh, wow.

We can learn a lot from Susan Boyle, especially the blowing kisses to strangers part.

This was one of those moments when you realized that your perspective needed to be changed and Susan Boyle was only to happy to help.

Karen Maezen Miller said...

Yes Cat. God steps in.

I started crying when I watched the clip.
Just amazing.

Absolutely blown away - yes Karen, God steps in - through people like Susan, and people like you, and maybe even people like me. Wow!

Actually, I had not seen it either!

OMG!!!

What fun! I am smiling from ear to ear! And my heart, which has been dormant with heaviness and grief, is pounding in my chest as I write this!

Thank you for helping to bring me back to life :-)

Blowing kisses seems like as good a thing to do as any, doesn't it?
