We are constantly being surprised by kids and their abilities to do special things. With their confidence, straightforward thinking and innocent behaviour, they just steal our hearts. The cute little musicians, artists, sportsmen, actors and actresses never stop amazing us. Kids tend to try everything, to find their right hobby and just the perfect means for expressing their views of the world.  Such an expression, very often, is so adorable and cute.

Nowadays, kids surprise us not only with their talents and performances, but also with their creativity of implementing technology while ‘doing their things’. Many kids out there take the camera and film their singing or acting, while others grab the microphone and the computer and record their own songs. The imagination of the kids is enormous, but their creativity is just marvellous.

Claire Crosby, a young talented girl, possess all of these. She’s extremely talented musician with charming voice and huge courage. Not all kids, even those that sing like angels, grab the camera, record themselves and show the others what they actually do. Claire did not think twice, actually, she was eager to record the show that she prepared for all us.

The happy introduction and the calm voice say all. Claire is more than prepared to present us what she can do with her ukulele and her voice. This pretty little girl with two ponytails and in a normal setting that does not promise anything, turns into a real talented performer. Her brave choice of Elvis’ ‘Can’t Hel Falling in Love’ is stunning. You would not even considering this kind of combination on that age. Simply awesome!

Without a bad tune, without a single forgotten word or a beat, Claire proves that she is a  possible future music star. She is not just  a kid that tries to be noticed on-line, but she is a kid that got all of our attention.

Take a look at the great performance, listen to the excellent ukulele and enjoy Claire’s marvellous voice. Well done Claire!

Starting up a new business can be challenging. Looking at your business plan and taking all those things such as the perfect location and your expertise into consideration, it looks like a picture perfect idea, but then things don’t really turn out as expected and you are left wondering what your next step should be.

Billy By’s dad opened a doughnut shop in Missouri City and couldn’t wait for people to try all those delicious products he made. But his excitement died down when only a few customers showed up at the grand opening that took place on Sunday.

Looking at his dad’s disappointment, Billy twitted how his father was “sad” because of the lack of people and added a few photos of the empty place. And then boom! His tweet went viral and everyone learned of the new shop in town.

Amazingly, the Texas community stepped in and all those mouth-watering doughnuts and pastry were sold in no time. And what’s most, everyone loved them and promised to come back.

The tweet was retweeted more than 264,000 times and liked double that number. Around 60,000 people started following Billy Donuts Instagram page too.

Some celebrities got involved in the mission of making this owner happy. Actor James Woods asked his 2 million followers to make Billy’s dad dream come true writing: “Come on, everybody. Let’s do this.”

All this resulted in many satisfied customers, and now the owner says he’s filling a bunch of orders. The photo KPRC took on Sunday shows long queue at the business.

The photo Billy posted this time shows the proud father and a son posing behind the counter with huge smiles on their faces.

“Just wanted to update y’all! We completely sold out of donuts and kolaches! You are all amazing. I can’t thank everyone enough for coming out and supporting local businesses. This means too much to my family,” By wrote.

We are glad this business story turned into a successful one and we hope they’ll have their hands full all year round. It’s just amazing what the social networking sites can do.

Alex Trebek receives open letter from woman who survived stage 4 pancreatic cancer

Another story, another fighter. The incredible and very intense life of Elise Roth Tedeschi is woven with pain, fight and positive thinking. She managed to beat the odds and still fight for her life.

The peaceful harmony of her life was destroyed the moment she found out she has pancreatic cancer. In 2012 the doctors informed her that her disease evolved into stage four, leaving her little chance of survival. When most people learn that they have several months to live they usually prepare for the worst, but Elise was different.

The terrible news did not depress Elise. She decided to fight. She started a long and difficult battle with the disease and her willingness to keep on going and enjoy the life paid off. Besides the strong will and her family and friends, Elise took targeted genetic treatment. All these thing combined resulted with Elise being still in great condition and among the people she loves.

About the beginnings of the disease Elise says:


“I felt that, no matter what, I was gonna beat it. I didn’t care what the doctors said.”

Furthermore, Elise explains the genetic code that helps her fight the cancer. The doctors explained her that the genes that caused the cancer to affect her organ also help her fight the disease. This made her believe that they are somehow more effective than the chemotherapy that she has to go through.

Since she was born fighter, she still does not give up. She is happy that she is able to live through every new day. Elise also adds that even in the worst periods since her disease affected her pancreas, she was still feeling joyful and happy. That even amazed her own family members.

What’s even more amazing, her fight with her own health problems is not the only battle she is involved in. She joined the PCAN, or the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network.

Elise and the other volunteers, survivors of the pancreatic cancer, join the forces in defeating the deadly disease. Their actions support, motivate and help thousands of cancer patients. In addition with their motivational approach they try to level up people’s awareness about the pancreatic cancer. Elise explains:

“Our stories are so important. They give hope.”

Elise’s unconditional support is evident through her work as PCAN activist. She goes public and provides support and tries to help other patients with their fight against this illness. Just recently, Alex Trebek, the host of ‘Jeopardy’, has publicly announced that he is suffering from the same disease as Elise.

In his public announcement, Alex said:

“Under the terms of my contract, I have to host ‘Jeopardy’ for 3 more years. So, help me! Keep the faith. And we’ll win.”

Upon seeing this, Elise contacted Alex via mail sent to The Daily Mail. Among the other things, she expressed her unconditional support, she shared her experience and encouraged Alex not to give up. She reminded him that it is worth fighting the battle.

Elise concludes:

“You may wonder how I stayed positive. My answer was always the same: ‘I didn’t choose to get cancer and I didn’t choose to go through this, but I do get to choose my attitude. So I choose to be happy and live my life!’”

Elise’s motivational speech is so powerful. Her positive energy and hopes are just wonderful. What a great person with wonderful spirit. We hope there are many other people just like Elise – people with positive attitude towards the life.

Mom writes this letter about her ex’s girlfriend

When two people decide to call it quits, things between them may get ugly, especially if there is a child involved. Fighting for the custody of the kids, feeling resentment towards one another, and even saying things you may later regret saying, splitting up is never easy.

And if the exes aren’t really on good terms, just imagine what happens when a new partner enters the life of one of them. Many times, the relationship between one and their ex’s partner are superficial, unnatural, and full of bitterness. It might be because of the fact that now another person is involved in the process of bringing up their child.

The kids, however, may simply find their parent’s new relationship strange and refuse to bond with their mom’s or dad’s new partner, but it may also happen for them to accept them. I personally believe this depends on how the other parent feels about their ex’s new person.

Audrey Loving and Corey Henry first met whey they were just 18. The two loved each other so much and had a daughter. But as time passed by, they struggled keeping their long-distance relationship on track and eventually broke up. Audrey got full custody of their daughter Riley, but her now ex partner is still part of the girl’s life.

After spending some time being single, Henry got involved into an emotional relationship with another woman. And if you think this is where the real trouble started, you can’t be more wrong. After learning how her ex moved on and met someone, Audrey was determined to teach her daughter to love this new person who was now part of their life.

Audrey was brought up in such a family herself and knows how hard it was for her to keep balance between what she had with her mom and her step-mom and didn’t want her daughter to experience the same thing.

It turned out sweet Riley listened to her mom and gave her dad’s girlfriend a chance and now the two are very close. Audrey is proud of her daughter and at the same time she is grateful this woman loves her little kid so much.

This is the thank you letter Audrey shared on her Facebook page:

“This is my daughter’s father’s girlfriend. The sweetest thing ever! I’m super thankful for her because when she visits her dad she feeds her, takes care of her, buys her gifts, and basically takes care of her like her own. Why do all these moms act so spiteful and jealous towards the other women? NOONE said it was easy trying to be a mother to a kid you didn’t have. So when there is someone trying, don’t push them away! Because they DON’T need the drama they WILL leave and then you’re stuck with someone who is the evil step mom. Yes they exist! I see them everywhere! A kid can have two moms because in my eyes the more people that love her I’m happy! I would never make her feel like an outsider; I’m extremely thankful for this girl.

Ladies, grow up and focus on being a good mom. Love more hate less!”

People who found themselves in a similar situation believe Audrey is a great parent who’d do anything to see her child happy. We hope this could serve as an example for others struggling to come to terms with the relationship between their kids and their ex’s new partners.

Modelling agency, Oldushka, only hires mature models

For too long the modelling agencies have been extremely selective when their models are concerned. The market was looking for models, men and women, that have the perfect shape. Young body, fit and zero fat, with sharp lines and body posture that is more than perfect. The marketing managers were not even considering hiring models that do not meet all of those rigid criteria. People’s view of these ideas for ‘perfect body’  were mixed, some appreciated it, but many others considered that kind of imagery as unrealistic and ‘photoshopped’.

Nevertheless, today we can see something is changing. The drastic changes that are quite commonly seen these days were not even imagined back then. The inclusion of plus size models and models with physical or mental disabilities is not a taboo any more. People have been fed up with seeing models that have ‘the perfect bodies’ and therefore these new models and changes are more than welcome.

Oldushka, a model agency from Russia founded in 2016, may be the best example in the process of refreshing the fashion industry. Led by the notion of establishing model agency different from the already existing – they have decided to offer modelling services with mature models. These professional models tend to show the beauty of life and human nature as it is and they are dedicated to prove that older models have valuable qualities as well. The founder of the agency, Ivan Gavar, for Vogue says:

“Beauty—it’s a quality that becomes more valued with years. I met some very interesting faces, and I wanted to do a separate project with them. A modeling agency became that sort of project.”

In addition to all of these, these models and the agency itself hopes that this project will be an additional motivation for older people to improve the quality of their lives.

Blind girl brings judge to tears with her beautiful voice

Just think about how our music idols from ‘80s and ‘90s, and even earlier, have been pursuing their music career. It must have been very difficult, a task that involves pushing a lot of boundaries and hoping that one day you will meet the right person who will help you conquer the stage.

Nowadays, with the technology and the TV shows, showing to the world what kind of skills you have is simpler. The TV shows like ‘American Idol’ give us a chance to express ourselves and to show to the audience what vocal potential we have. These shows produced even some very popular contemporary singers and performers. The opportunity ‘American Idol’ is offering is priceless.

‘American Idol’ has not only entertained the audience with excellent music and performances. It gave people chance to take a closer look at candidates’ lives. Very often the show briefly talks about candidate’s problems, successes and failures and even some personal things. This is the case with the talented candidate Shyy.

When Shyy stepped on the stage, in front of jury, it looked like every candidate that passed through the process. Her beautiful face, casual look and modest appearance did not make her different from the most of the candidates of the show. However, she had something quite unique that differentiated her from the rest – a wonderful voice and just the perfect singing skills. Her performance of Andra Day’s ‘Rise Up’ was so emotional and she gave a performance that will last in the judges’memories. We are sure Lionel Richie will remember Shyy for a very long time. She moved him with her singing to that degree that his tears could not be stopped.

However, that is not the only thing that Shyy stunned the audience with. She made everyone so emotional and teary with her personal life and the problems she is facing with. Just one year before the competition, Shyy started having problems with her vision. After several complaints at home, she and her mother decided to see the doctor. After careful analysis done by the medical team, Shyy got the worst piece of news in her life. She was diagnosed with brain tumor. As a result of the terrible illness, Shyy lost her vision completely. Nevertheless, she did not lose her hopes and dreams. She decided to show the world what kind of potential she has. She sure wrecked all of us who watched the girl in front of the TVs.

Shyy showed that she is a fighter. Bad health and physical disabilities do not stop her dreaming and fighting for the life she was craving for. Bravo Shyy!

We can’t wait to hear your thoughts on this incredible performance! Are you a fan of Shayy? Do you think she will go far on American Idol? Who is your favorite contestant from this season so far?

The 42-year-old lady lost her husband just two months prior the harsh winder hit the country. Leigh’s husband lost the battle with the cancer, leaving Leigh widow. She lost the happiness of the marriage in a very short time.

Being a single mother with three kids is not an easy thing. It’s very difficult and there are lots of responsibilities and duties. The snowstorms and the freezing winter made this family’s life even more difficult. However, there was one thing that put smile on Leigh’s face.

One morning, as the duties call, Leigh needed the car to drive off and finish what she had to finish. However, she noticed that the there was a need of putting some air in tires. With all of that snow, blocked pathway, she got frustrated. The blocked cap of the tire just added some fuel to her frustration.

Luckily, she called Brian, delivery man from FedEx. He was usually delivering packages in the neighbourhood and therefore Leigh recognized him and called him for help. Brian did not hesitate helping her. After a short conversation, Brian learnt about Leigh’s tragedy.

Brian was touched and felt sorry for Leigh. Therefore, he felt a need to do something good to her and he actually did. Brian shovelled the snow in front of the house. Brian’s help seems nothing to us, but for Leigh that’s a tremendous help. Having in mind the fact that everything in the household was up to her, a little help is more than welcome.

Brian did not know that there is a camera on the front door. The camera caught this kind action on tape. Well done Brian!
