InspiratioNation

Want to get chills?  Want to feel like a little kid on Christmas morning again?  Want to smile the same way you do with the ocean hits your toes at the start of summer?  Want to feel all warm and fuzzy inside the same way you do when you sip hot cocoa after a cold day in the snow?

The 47 year old Susan Boyle rocked the world when she sang on Britian's Got Talent this week.  The sensation was giggled at by the audience as she described her unemployed lifestyle in a Scottish village.  Then, when she tore the roof off with "I Dreamed a Dream" from Les Miserables, those snickering faces turned to cheering, tearing ones.
   THIS was my favorite moment of the performance:
Have you ever seen this man smile (in an non malicious way)?  He looks like an excited child.

So, Susan Boyle is now my new HERO.  This woman is 47 and still chasing her dreams.  I will be more than surprised if she's not a SUPER STAR in no time.  She is proof that you can do anything you put your mind to.  All those little kids that want to be the President, a firefighter or a ballerina could be.  I can be ANYTHING... how reassuring.
