Dreams are great! Following them -- even better!

Kay, over at Loop De Loops in La La Land, found this video at another blog and posted it at her blog. I figured, "hmm, I don't have a clue how to embed a video in my blog and since Kay has such a great playlist here of great affirming music, why not just send everyone (yeah, like all three people who visit here about once a year LOL) over to her?" So that is what I am doing. Go over there (use the link below) and listen to some of the songs on her playlist, then pause that and click on the video.

Okay, I'm not so sure you went over there. Go on. Kay does not bite. She's got a "Nice Matters Award" so you can trust her to be nice to you and welcome you quite warmly. So, go. Now. Scat. Just remember to come on back here when you're done visiting with her, okay?


































You went? You listened? You watched? You cried, too, didn't you? You can admit it.

I cried even though I knew he would get the response he did and I had heard an excerpt of him singing on the radio. They were debating whether it was a good or bad thing for opera for an amateur to "debase" opera in such a popular venue. Thankfully, the opera snobs can't control this one. He's great. And the people love him, too. He's becoming a sort of hero to some. And why not?

He had a dream. He didn't really believe in himself, but he believed in the dream. He tried.

Dream your dream. Trust your talents and gifts. Hey, you may not win something big or become a hero to many. Be a hero to one, at least.

Dream. Follow your talent. Embrace your gifts. Share them and yourself.

Now, go away from here and go do that. Just be sure to stop back once in a while and let me know how it's going. :-)
