Want to be Famous

Today is the day to remember how much sweat, blood and tears goes into the process of creating Art, whether it is celebrated or not.  'cause what I do, no one can do it better When I grow up I wanna be famous I wanna be a star I wanna be in movies When I grow up I wanna see the world Each expression of the self in concert with the universal symphony has true meaning in the hearts of those who get to experience it.  Those of us driven to express our soul force from the inner world into the outer projected collective enacts that deep space of recognition. Whatever the spark that pushes to expand past current circumstances is the desire of the driven to contribute to the planet.   Enjoy the journey.

As Mother Teresa said "Smile at each other, smile at your wife, smile at your husband, smile at your children, smile at each other -- it doesn't matter who it is -- and that will help you to grow up in greater love for each other." One of the most effortless gifts a human being can extend to another is the gift of a smile.  Lighten your heart and theirs and enjoy the comforting gentleness of a smile. lots of love and smiles, Melanie ps. Enjoy this post featuring Kirk Franklin and his I Smile!  Today is a new day!

My Funny Valentine Is your figure less than greek is your mouth a little weak when you open it to speak Are you smart Don't change a hair for me Not if you care for me Stay Little Valentine Stay Each Day is Valentine's Found this performance of Sarah Vaughn, later in her career, performing this beautiful standard written by two of my idols Richard Rogers and Lorenz Hart for their show Babes in Arms.  This classic has been performed by countless artists and while Frank Sinatra's many renditions of this  song will always be in my heart.  Ms Vaughn does an amazingly beautiful job with her interpretation. Once again, thanks to all the fans and the sharing that is youtube for these fantastic gems! I am really feeling each day is Valentine's...  A day to be loving, to be accepting and to enjoy everything and everyone you meet.
