Goddess Allsorts: By the Letter V
Posted by Goddess Leonie on May 16th, 2009. Filed under: Goddess Inspiration.
Hola gorgeous Goddesses!
It’s that happy day of the week… Goddess Allsorts day!
This is the day I share with you all kinds of scrummy inspiration I find around the place & want to share. Allsorts that don’t make much sense together, but are perfectly perfect. A whole smorgasboard of delight for you to nibble on!
This Allsorts Day is brought to you by the letter V – for Video. Tons of scrumptious video action for you today, and some images. Adore!
Warning: You may need tissues during this one. Just saying. I did.
Fifty People One Question
If you asked fifty people the same question, what would their answers be?
I utterly adore this video series.
It makes my heart sparkle.
Chicken shed
I’ll confess because you already know what a sop I am.
I have the Diana Tribute Album Double CD. And I’m okay about that.
In particular, my favourite song off it became my own personal anthem.
It’s called: I am in Love with the World.
With a name like that, how could it not be my anthem?
Even after all those years of wearing out my double CD from having it on replay, I still didn’t know something.
Something which made this song even richer. And thanks to the richness of YouTube, now I do.
It is sung by a group of children of all different backgrounds and abilities.
And I can’t watch this without crying at its beauty.
And part of those tears are this:
My eldest brother Clinton was born with cerebral palsy, and he died a couple of weeks before Lady Di. And in his life (and even in his rainbow journey onwards) he & his friends made our hearts bigger and made us better people. That was their gift, among many.
So now my personal anthem is even bigger, brighter and more of a miracle before.
How can we not be in love with the world?
These photos
For some reason, I really adore these photos. Words + pictures are heaven to me.
Blackout Poetry Project
People are wise. And funny. And sweet. And inherently creative. And deeply moving.
Validation: A Short Film
And the creme de le creme.
I’ve totally saved the best for last, but you need this. It’s long, but you need this.
What if we just went around validating people every day?
You are so amazing.
You are doing the best you can.
I so appreciate you.
You are so loved,
who totally needs some more tissues now…

The words in the words+pictures photo you posted was actually taken from Storypeople (http://www.storypeople.com), a story called “Hard to Forget.” The artist is Brian Andreas – his work is right up your alley!
