The Help

Have you read the book?  Have you seen the movie?  Or have you just heard someone talking about it?  Well, you've gotta take some time and read the book.  It made me laugh, cry, and wanna get up and shout (I actually did when I saw the movie.  It deserved lots of applause.).  I just had to find out who wrote the book and come to find out it wasn't written by a black woman, but a white lady raised by black maids in the south.  Her name is Kathryn Stockett.  Telling the story of how black maids really feel about their jobs is not something I had even really thought about.  Told by Minnie, Abilene, and Skeeter this story warmed my heart.  The movie was just as well acted as the words were on the page.  When the DVD comes out be sure to rent it, buy it, stream it or etc.

Love, Shel

ANNA GRACEMAN: INGENUE AND BRIGHT STAR

I have always been a fan of singer/ songwriters, acapella show stoppers, and the ladies' with great big voices (forget a microphone to project) and this little lady is definitely on my list of true song from the heart and voice from the soul singers.   

Anna Graceman is 11 years old and has a voice beyond her years and accompanies herself on the piano.  Her vocal range is extraordinary and beyond compare of anyone I have heard in this modern day and age. 

I first became aware of her amazing talent when I watched the America's Got Talent season this year.  I voted for her all the way until the Top 10 when Landau Eugene Murphy beat her to the Top 4. 

She is already accomplished in songwriting, has her own youtube channel, and her music is even available on iTunes.  I know she will become a great success and reach America through her voice. 

All I have to say is that I support this little girls dream of becoming famous!

He is my absolute favorite and I'm proud to have voted for him.  His voice embodies the likenesses of all the classic great croonersI'm glad America is bringing back the golden era in a modern style.  Take a look at Landau's final performance!

14 years gone...Always and forever remembered


Her flame is still going on and will never go out. Princess Diana is an inspiration for all women. Put the royalty aside and she was just like you and me. Lady Diana if you were here I would hug you and tell you are wonderful.

Happy Birthday (belated) to Michael Jackson!

You can't forget the voice of Michael Jackson.  Either it be when he was in the Jackson 5 or to present day, you just can't forget him.  At least I can't.  Happy Birthday to the "King of Pop".  May you keep singing and spinning forever!

Check out Cirque du Soleil for showtimes of their upcoming Immortal tour in 2012!
