Passion and determination
Thursday, December 17th, 2009

Sometimes we get given a lesson about how fortunate we really are.  People who overcome the odds are inspiring and the lessons they give us are awesome.  In the video below you’ll see how passion and determination can allow anyone to overcome their physical limitations.

Inspirational!!

Free Hugs For All!
Tuesday, December 8th, 2009

This is beautiful.  In one video it captures both the human weakness and beauty.  The weakness in that we are inherently suspicious and unwilling to engage strangers and also the beauty of when we do.

Life is beautiful.  Hug a stranger.

Best wishes until next time

Practice Makes Perfect
Monday, November 30th, 2009

Nothing in life that is worthwhile just happens.  If you want something you have to go out and pursue it.  Practice makes perfect and you need to keep working at achieving the things that you want.

This doesn’t mean that they are unattainable it just means you need to be prepared to pay the price.  Watch this young man and marvel in what he can do.  Practice makes perfect…

Until next time

Smile

Nat King Cole was the ultimate professional and his daughter Natalie has an amazing voice as well.  Nat is gone but Natalie lives on.  This song is a classic and well worth sitting back and enjoying.

Now wasn’t that great?

Best wishes until next time

The Autistic Basketball Player
Thursday, October 22nd, 2009

Hi again,

Once in a while a story comes along where it is possible to demonstrate the human spirit prevailing.  This story absolutely fills the bill and is a great example of someone whose persistence in following the dream prevails.

Please enjoy.

The Evolution of Dance
Saturday, October 10th, 2009

I’ll be honest, this isn’t original and has been around on Youtube for ages, but it doesn’t matter!  It’s still heaps of fun and worth watching over again if you have seen it before and watching closely if you haven’t.

Life is about fun and enjoyment, and this video fits the bill just nicely in my opinion.

All the best

Chris

Great Family Movies
Tuesday, September 22nd, 2009

Hi all,

Well given this website has a family theme I thought it would be nice to provide a countdown of 10 great family movies from our semi-recent history.  This should bring back some memories as it did for me.  Hope you enjoy some of the memories.

All the best

Chris

A Pale Blue Dot
Friday, July 10th, 2009

Watch and listen as Carl Sagan helps us revel in our own significance.  Watch as he highlights our pettiness, our futile feelings of self importance when compared against the pale blue dot.

…and yet our ultimate brilliance, self reliance and mutual interdependence seems even more important as a result.

The Pale Blue Dot.
