A good friend of mine had sent me this link a little while ago...I'm now thinking I should start the day with it, every day. Thanks for the reminder, Michelle!
Loved it so much added it to my newest hub as one way to "be" as we shape our world's future - natch with thanks to you ripplemaker! Does sound like a great way to start the day! First with the gratidude dance - then standing by those willing to join hands around the world
Michelle: Shucks, I tried and tried to view it, and see everyone else has been able to play the video but neither Phil or I could open it; could be our computers. :::big pout:::: Will try again later.
Hi Marie, your computer is now cooperating! Yippeee! So glad you finally could see the video. I know you and I know you would love this video! Regards to Phil.
Michelle, thanks for knowing I am not a huge forum browser and sending this link to me. Still have tears in my eyes. I am standing! This link is one I will be forwarding everywhere I know. The ripples are beautiful and inspiring, I appreciate you and this vid.
Oh what a sight! My house mate is not here, so the tears just flowed down my face! What a beautiful optimistic view of mankind's wonderful spirit. Totally uplifting and a big surprise.
Oh by the way I think I am in love with that young dark skinned guy with the dreadlocks, not only can he sing but omg he is so cute. Clarence Bekker ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
Well being a bloke I will allow he is good looking. His voice and the way he conveys the emotions of this beautiful song is pretty mind boggling! Granpa has a fab voice, and his mouth organ playing is really top class! Geez BP,they are all just top class.
Sorry PamdaMan, didn't want to let anyone feel unseen or seemingly unheard. Do you know the forums sometimes make you feel like that? Like nobody is talking to you? Well, it does feel good to know somebody is standing with you. LOL
What an awesome way to start my day...now I will be singing and dancing all day! I was so touched by this video. I will be sharing it with everyone I know. What a wonderful testimony to the human spirit. Thank you, Ripplemaker, for that inspiring slice of humanity at it's best! You rock!
(RED) was created to raise awareness and money for the Global Fund by teaming up with the world's most iconic brands to produce (PRODUCT) RED branded products. A portion of profits from each (PRODUCT) RED product sold goes directly to the Global Fund to invest in African AIDS programs, with a focus on women and children. They have brands of iPods, clothing, etc.
They have (RED) Wire which is a digital music service that costs $5 a month and the proceeds go to buy medicine in Africa. Every month you get an issue with things like songs that go to your iTunes, music videos, interviews etc. Its really cool. (RED) Wire is on a break right now while they right new issues. But as soon as it gets back up and running everyone should check it out. http://www.joinred.com/Shop/shop_redwire.aspx
I'm completely hooked on this song. I am getting my family (many musicians) together to record it ourselves! In the mean time I just want to see it again and again!
I know you would sing it from your heart as your family will do. It will be wonderful Earnest...I know it will be. Promise, you will share it with us? Promise.... Hahaha
This is beautiful, teacher Michelle! Thank you for sharing. I love it so much! I was waiting though for the participant in our country, ! Why not there are a lot of good singers and musicians in the Philippines especially in Cebu!
These are so cute and cool smileys you posted. They made me smile Cool! Hahahaha Maybe we could make something similar. I know earnest is going to make one with his family. Thanks Sol for watching with me. Just wishing you the joy of having people who stand by you.
Hi Valerie, when something touches the heart, people pass it on. So nice... Thanks for being here and making a stand to magnify the good within all of us.
I have to admit I enjoyed the video very much. It made me move and sing along with it. It brought back memories of when I use to play trumpet in the band during my high school years. It also brought back memories of when I use to go to neighbor festivals here in Chicago and listen to various musicians perform. Again, great video. Worth viewing!
Another year older...and richer...and wiser...and stronger...and braver....and happier....and lovelier! Pure love never fades... it just grows and glows better through the years! Be blessed always God's precious one. Hugs:)
After 17 days in Taiwan to present our musical play, we are all finally home. Just dropping by to say hello and truly I miss hubbing and reading the hubs and the conversations in the forums. But the trip was indeed a beautiful, interesting and meaningful one. It's great to be...
I had a barrel of laughs with this one. His paper costumes are simply amazing. Do watch. Have a wonderfully interesting week ahead of you. Enjoy... http://ripplemakers.blogspot.com/2008/1 … quick.html
