Card Samples

Imagine…..

Just a little personal thing 🙂

I went this morning to Tyler’s assembly in school.  I was floored.  I know that there is a “crisis” in America about schooling, quality of education etc.. but what I witnessed at this assembly was astounding.  The whole assembly was about PAYING IT FORWARD and each child came up and spoke about how THEY paid it forward… Children are being taught to be empathetic, sympathetic and HUMAN.  This is one important thing to me.  Then all the children talked about what their wishes were and then they ended it with a message.  AND THE MESSAGE was..

How would the world be if the following things were adhered to:

no poverty,

free education for all

peace

love

friendship

no bullying (had to lol at this one)

it was phenom.  And they sang  it to “IMAGINE”.  I was riveted, and teary eyed.. I must admit

Here’s the glee version of IMAGINE which I actually watched last night on Dvd and this too made me cry :(.. Yes.. a little sensitive I am… and also a BIG dreamer.  I decided to use the version showing the hearing impaired choir starting the song off.. this was what made it so REAL.  One of the comments I read under this video was :

“This song really made me wonder what my brother goes through? everyday not being able to hear music. the thing that surrounds us everyday. But he always tells me that he can’t hear music but he still belives that he can see music and the joy it brings to so many people in the world.”  It’s so true.

I promise back to stamping tomorrow 🙂

just had to share a little thought..  a little nugget about my life

Mwah to da sistahs who not only IMAGINE.. they DO.

    I saw this episode the other day. It was terrific! Thanks for sharing it with everyone. If people would just stop hating and fighting, I’d be happy. If there was only love and peace between people, we could take care of the rest (hunger, poverty, etc) together.
    Sounds like a wonderful assembly at your son’s school!!

    Hiya, I cried my eyes out. It is the third to last episode in the first season I believe. You won’t regret watching it 🙂
