Chris Rene of the X Factor and passing on the love!

I don’t watch the X Factor.  (For those of you who don’t know, it’s a singing talent competition show on American television.)  They don’t tend to do a lot of my kind of music.  In one of those wonderfully serendipitous internet moments, I read an email which led me to a blog about storytelling, which led me to this video of Chris Rene competing on the X Factor.  The video is so compelling that I have to spread it around.  Warning:  this is a tearjerker, so have your tissues / kleenex / handkerchiefs handy.   I guarantee it will brighten your day with tears of joy.

I’m giving you the link to the blog I read, which is free of advertising, unlike the YouTube version.   While you’re there watching the video, take a look at Micheal Margolis’ commentary.  Michael is a man who is on a mission to change the world by encouraging everyone to tell their stories.  He offers a free ebook to get you thinking about how to tell the world what is important to you.

Also, stop by and take a moment to “like” this blog from a new friend of mine.  Talin is an Armenian woman from Canada who writes her blog because she wants to change the world by telling her story.  I believe she will do it, too.

If you have any inspiring blogs or videos, please share them with me so I can pass them along.

I don’t understand the magic of the internet and how all those bits and bytes of data can bring us closer.  I don’t really want to understand.  I just believe that it is a wonderful tool to bring us all together.  In the little bit of time I have been writing this blog, I have made new friends in eleven different countries.  How amazing is that?  I can post something in the early morning hours here and get a reply almost instantly from a friend in Australia.  I love it.

Keep passing it on, my friends!

Love, hugs, and many blessings.
