New Family Puppy!

My parents just got a puppy lab yesterday. I am determined to fly to Seattle to see this cute little fuzzball in the next few weeks. Also, we haven't named him yet, so if you have any suggestions, please leave a comment!

Susan Boyle's Rendition of Memory!

So last weekend, Susan Boyle sang 'Memory' on the show 'Britain's Got Talent'. I'm absolutely obsessed her. You probably already know that she's a worldwide phenomenon/inspiration, giving hope to those that see how she's risen to the top, with the powerful aid of YouTube and other online media. We live in a digital age that spreads horrible news quick as lightening, but good happy things in a snap as well for everyone to enjoy!

Here is her latest performance:



And 'Cry Me a River' from about a decade ago:



Last, but not least, the performance that started it all:

Happy Music Clips

There are just some songs out there that make you want to stand up and dance around. I like to listen to them when I want to feel happy or have challenges ahead that I'm not sure if I can conquer, mainly because fear holds me back. But why should we fear? 

I fear failure because I'm afraid of hurting my pride, of worrying that people will judge. A year ago, I may have also said I was afraid of hurting from the fall, but I've grown since then, and don't fear being hurt and whipped into shape. I've definitely failed on many an occasion, but cling to the hope that one day, I will succeed.

So with that thought, some happy video clips from 'Sister Act II' to listen and dance to!
