Dream the Dream

If you haven't seen this, then you are in for a surprise. I am a techno wit, so don't know how to load the YouTube clip here and couldn't wait for my web gal to do it for me. But all you have to do is go to YouTube and search "Susan Boyle".

It is an amazing "Cinderella" story that also reminds me of my dad. He believed in dreaming dreams and always encouraged people to pursue theirs.

Take time to pursue your dreams and take time to share other's dreams with them. If I have a regret it is that there were times I was too busy that I didn't sit down with my dad, especially when he came to visit to just go out and talk, dream and listen. You can't go back and do those times over once the opportunity is lost. The choices I made or didn't make in spending time with him will shape my future parenting choices. I can't go back and re-do my daughter choices, but I can choose differently as a mom.

So back to dreaming. If you haven't listened to Susan sing, please do. You won't regret it.

The following words are lifted out of my friend Connie's blog, because she put it so well, and I couldn't agree more.

Susan Boyle is making the world stand up and "sing." The first time I watched her on YouTube, I immediately burst into tears and then got goosebumps throughout her performance.

Thank you, Susan, for allowing us all to dream, to believe, to hope, and "yes" forget for just a moment that we ever doubted ourselves.

Live your passion, Susan. You are simply amazing! You've won our hearts and for sure you will win the competition. No doubt about it. God bless you.
