I hope we can all learn from it to be sure.<br /><br />Like you, I have found her face so precious as there is such an honesty about it. <br /><br />The Scottish are probably really the only ones who can fully understand that accent :). I know it took me a while to get used to it...and now I still have to stop and listen very closely.<br /><br />I also love her sense of humor!

Things like this stay with me for quite a while (some books can be the same way), so I have to keep working with them to understand all I am supposed to learn. In the meantime, I am glad it has brought some good to others, too.<br /><br />Taking the next step is always important. When we begin to tread water or paddle backwards is when we can get into trouble. Believe me, in my family, this business of staying positive really gets to people who have to live with me...sometimes people just need me to get down in the mud and wallow around with them and I find that difficult. Maybe it happens for me that way, because I know if I allow that to be I will stay in the mud too long. :) So I think your method is a good one...just know the thoughts will pass and you keep moving forward.<br /><br />Thanks Suki!<br /><br />Love,<br /><br />KimAndrea and Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15337904921232330088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5241393111022392313.post-11477689262538627852009-04-16T09:20:00.000-04:002009-04-16T09:20:00.000-04:00kim, this is glorious. it is funny but I received...kim, this is glorious. it is funny but I received this link in an email from a friend this morning, but I didnt watch it. I watched this one though and as with others was in tears throughout. <br /><br />i vary in my thoughts. i can get down and think grim thoughts. i can be up and think positive thoughts. they flow through me, they come and then go. the best i can do is to know that my thoughts are transitory whether grim or happy. and keep on taking the next step and the next.sukipoethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09351851210507048174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5241393111022392313.post-5620475361925776772009-04-16T08:42:00.000-04:002009-04-16T08:42:00.000-04:00Oh Jess, you must be so excited.

I think it's because there were so many contestants and the editing can change things so much he might be cut down to almost nothing!

You know this woman can do amazing things for people in how she is just a regular kind of person, not trying to be anyone she is not...and just doing her thing the best she can. Think of what that says to young people? I read earlier today a comment someone made on a posting somewhere (my apologies for not remembering it may have been on CNN)...she said something like she would like to see a movie of Susan Boyle's life however Hollywood is only full of pretty faces and not so much full of talent! :) You are right, she is funny and genuine and how much better can you be than that?<br /><br />You are right that man was Paul Potts who was a mobile phone salesman from Wales. He is just about ready to release his second album and has an amazing following. Cool, isn't it? You would think that Simon guy would have learned, uh? (Can you tell I know very little about TV?)<br /><br />It is so important to not let go of the dreams!<br /><br />Thanks so much, Heidi! I am glad to hear your response!<br /><br />Love,<br /><br />KimAndrea and Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15337904921232330088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5241393111022392313.post-57063143711543130272009-04-15T17:45:00.000-04:002009-04-15T17:45:00.000-04:00I am speechless!

I thought she was funny and genuine...and then that voice! Wow! <br /><br />I don't know if you recall another contestant a few years back who also came on stage and had to put up with Simon's and the public's irony, and then voila! the man sang opera like the gods! <br /><br />This is truly encouraging for everyone who has a dream (no pun intended!

Since posting I have read where she stopped singing when her mother died two years ago, but because this TV show was her mother's favorite, she thought she would give it a try.
