Kind runners step in to help girl on competing team

Life isn’t always about winning. When you think about it, it’s more about what kind of people we turn to be along the way. Because getting a medal or a ribbon in a competition will never have the same value of becoming a real life hero for a random person you meet on your way to success. 

A girl named Madeline Adams was excited to be taking part in the ACC Women’s Cross Country Championship, but little did she know that that day would turn into one she will never forget. 

She put a lot of time and sweat in getting physically fit and was determined to end up first, but her body had other plans.

She did great during the whole race, but just as she was about to get to the finish line she started feeling strange and lost her strength. 

She later told CBS News what really happened during the race:

“I was running the race of my life. I was doing incredibly well. I was coming up that hill (to the finish line), I started to feel really fatigued. All of a sudden, I get this wave that comes over me and my legs just truly gave out from underneath me. I had no control. I really don’t remember falling, I remember being on the ground and being like, ‘why am I on the ground? Get up.'”

She wouldn’t feel her legs as a pang of exhaustion hit her body. She was way too weak to continue, so she simply collapsed. 

The rest of the competitors continued running without even turning their head towards Madeline. 

But then, one of them, a very amazing young lady named Evie Tate from Clemson stepped in as she couldn’t simply continue racing knowing a girl was on the ground struggling to move an inch. She tried carrying Madeline by herself but that was impossible for she was way too heavy for one person to lift her. luckily, that’s when another girl, Rachel Pease from Louisville stopped and offered to help. Now both Evie and Rahel pulled Madeline from the ground wanting to finish the race carrying her to the finish line.

Madeline is very grateful for the support and the help she was offered by these kind-hearted girls. 

“The great part that comes out of this is there are two amazing girls that helped me, who are completely selfless and just amazing people with amazing character.”

Unfortunately, Madeline didn’t get to the finish line because doctors approached and provided her with the help she needed so badly.

Madeline says how this race was the toughest ever, but it taught her that there are still good people out there who really care for the well-being of others. 

We should all follow Evie and Rachel’s example. 

Pregnant woman leaves judges breathless with Whitney classic

Take a second and think how many times it has happened for you to judge someone based on their physical appearance. I guess that no matter how kind and nice we are, we do make assumptions about people we know nothing about. That has to be in the humans nature. I also believe that most of the times, we turn to be completely wrong and feel bad for misjudging certain group or individuals.

This is yet another example of why we should never judge a book by its cover because people are way more than what their looks say about them.

When this mother-to-be took the stage of the X-Factor Ukraine all eyes were on her. Many, including some of the judges believed she shouldn’t even be there considering her ‘situation.’ Yes, she did look as though she was about to deliver that baby very soon, but why would that be an obstacle towards the path of her possible success. 

YouTube

 

Being aware of the situation, this 25-year-old contestant was determined to prove evil minded people wrong. She was about to hit that stage and shine and even get all of the thumbs up. Very confident in herself, she chose to perform one of Whitney Houston’s songs, which honestly only added to the anticipation of whether this will be one of those performances worth getting all the yeses. 

Once her voice filled the air with the lyrics of “I Have Nothing,” everyone was getting even more certain how this was going to be a performance to remember. She sounded awesome, despite the little bundle pushing up against her diaphragm. 

YouTube

 

Opting to sing Whitney’s song in front of the judges who get paid to be brutally honest and tell you what’s wrong with your singing and all those improvements you need to do for your next performance, in case you get the chance to return once again, is pretty brave.

Those high notes typical for Whitney are really challenging to carry and require plenty of deep belly breaths. Now imagine trying to nail them while carrying a baby that’s taking up all your extra oxygen. But it seemed as though that little bundle was the reason this mommy sang so well. We hope her child will grow up to be one of her most loyal fans in case she decides to pursue a career in the music industry. 

YouTube

 

The audience and all of the judges became aware of the powerful vocal she possesses so they greeted her with loud ovations and even louder applause. This includes that one judge who looked as though he wasn’t approving of her taking the stage while pregnant.

She managed to make everyone’s day and put huge smile on everyone’s face. We wish she achieves everything she puts her mind to and be as successful as on this stage. 

This child will be happy to be having such a brave and determined mother. 

4-Year-old boy’s advice to his baby brother about grandma has gone viral

Big brothers are the best. Having one in your life means having someone you can always rely on no matter how tough things get. 

When they are young, siblings may not really understand the importance of being in each other’s life, but as they get older, they do become aware of how blessed they truly are.

Fighting over toys is something all siblings go through and teasing is just another part of growing old together. And the best part is that all this will turn into the sweetest memories every siblings share. 

YouTube

If you have an older brother, than this video is just for you. We do believe that what adorable 4-year-old Ari has to say to his baby brother Finn is true for any brothers out there. The way he loves and cares for little Finn comes in the form of valuable advice he has to give to the little one. That these two are not blood related doesn’t change the fact that they are brothers. 

This is both touching and hilarious at the same time. Once mommy Kristina is out of Ari’s sight, he starts his “man to man” conversation with Finn, and boy he’s got a lot to say. 

We are sure all these smart lessons will come in handy one day. 

YouTube

If you wonder what could a 4-year-old teach his younger sibling here you have it. The smart boy starts by warning Finn how mom and dad are likely to say “no” to a good number of things he is going to ask from them, but that’s not a big deal, because granny will always be there to say “yes.”

And if this isn’t concerning enough, the fact that Finn would have to clean his own bottom once he gets older seems to leave the young boy mortified. 

Now Ari gets to one thing that annoys him a great deal, and it would probably annoy Finn as well. If you are not assuming, let us tell you, that’s the baby talk parents use with their children. Does it sound sweet to the grown ups? Probably yes! Do children find it cute? Well, that’s a big no. 

And when it comes to taking naps, Ari tells Finn how he shouldn’t do it because he “might miss out on something interesting.” We say wait until you are older, you are going to regret every nap you didn’t take. 

YouTube

This becomes all too emotional to handle when smart Ari says, “even though we’re not related, we’re still brothers.”  

We are sure that Finn is the luckiest little brother having someone so special like Ari by his side. 

Take a look at the cute video below. You may get to pick some of the advice from the ‘older generation’ yourself. 

Target employee challenges little girl to a dance off

I remember those days when I could just go shopping all by myself or accompanied by my girlfriends. Those would be fun times indeed. Trying things on, or buying groceries we’d love to make delicious dishes with. 

But now that we are all moms, doing shopping is something we don’t really enjoy. Why? Because it has to be done really quickly, or the kids would start throwing tantrums. You know, they don’t really find it appealing walking around the aisles without touching every single thing. 

A mother named Stefanie is well too aware of the troubles young kids are making while at the store, so she wasn’t really looking forward to the trip.

YouTube

 

Stefanie needed to grab some stuff so they visited Target. While there, she thought it would be nice if she bought her little Evallyn some toys that she loved. Needless to say, she really had fun buying her dolls, but once mommy turned to the products she needed, Evallyn got bored and became restless. 

Her mother was doing her best to get everything from her shopping list as fast as she could so that the two could head home. 

And just as this woman though this was one of her most unpleasant shopping trips, something amazing happened.  

YouTube

 

One of the Target employees could see that Stefanie needed help so she stepped in and tried to entertain lovely Evallyn. She got the little girl’s attention by inviting her to a dance-off. Knowing how competitive young children can be, this was the best idea A.J could come up with. 

Both A.J and Evallyn showed some really crazy dance moves. It was obvious they had so much fun doing this. Customers would stop by and watch the new friends dancing and everyone though this was very sweet. 

YouTube

 

Once the ‘dancing competition’ was done, A.J asked the girl if she was in for another round. The girl was more than happy to show off her skills once again.

Stefanie was amazed by the employee’s kind gesture. She couldn’t really finish her shopping because this was way too good to miss, so she just stood there by the cart and knew she had to film this very special encounter.

What was supposed to be just another tiring day turned into an experience these mother and daughter will never forget. It may be just a dancing with a stranger, but these kinds of interactions usually have strong positive impact on children.

It is so nice to hear of stories like this where random people make someone’s day. 

Take a look at the cute dance-off in the video below. 

Woman receives drastic change makeover

This is another story that comes from the salon of the Makeover Guy who never ceases to make our jaws drop every time we see the stunning transformations he does. We do hope he understands that he isn’t only transforming someone’s hairstyle, the form of their rather thin brows, or the way they choose their outfits, but their whole life. 

This multi talented man started his career as a hairstylist back in 1990, after he opened his Christopher Hopkins Salon. Ever since, he does wonders and lifts many women’s spirits up. 

YouTube

His Minneapolis studio is the place where the change happens. There, he offers numerous packages that include haircut, make-up, dyeing, and advice on how to rock your clothes and what really fits your figure and your style. You are going to leave the place flabbergasted and unable to recognize yourself as well as richer for a great amount of valuable knowledge on how to do the looks by yourself. 

People are going crazy over the transformations Christopher posts on his YouTube channel and everyone wants to be part of his mission of making people happier and more self-confident than ever.

Ann is just another satisfied client. She says how meeting Christopher was a life-changing encounter. She now regularly visits the Makeover Guy who has become her close friend ever since he cut her hair for the first time. Her transformation left her daughter with an open mouth. 

He knows how to make everyone feels as though they are his most valuable clients. Whoever visited his salon, always gets back. 

Mary is another lucky woman that got to be part of his show. Her hairstyle and the dye she was using for her hair were the same for way too long. A change was something her hair and face needed really badly, and she was certain how Christopher was the only stylist who could make her feel young again. Interestingly, as he says it himself, “The shorter I went the better it got, she just has that great head shape that can wear a real pixie cut.”

YouTube

Needless to say, Mary simply loved her new looks. Never did she believe how great this platinum color would fit her face. Plus, she confesses how her husband really wanted her to have her hair cut, so we assume he’s gonna fell in love with the way she looks. The two have been married for 27 years now, so this comes as a unique wedding anniversary gift.

Christopher showed Mary that even though what we have inside is the most important thing, looking nice on the outside only reflects our inner beauty.

People often believe how celebrities have it all done for them and how they have it easy in life only because they are rich. But we all know too well that money can’t buy everything. 

This has to be the message Mike Fisher wanted to send to his and his wife’s fans out there. Recently, he took it to Instagram to share with the world how the couple felt and what they had to go through before the birth of their second child, Jacob Bryan. 

The former hockey player spoke about their heartbreak and all the moments spent in anticipation which is just another proof that these people are not that much different than us.

Posting a sweet photo of him and his baby boy snuggling together he wrote:

“Jacob Bryan Fisher! You are a gift from our Lord! The last few years has had its challenges and it makes this moment even more sweet!”

The couple wanted this baby so badly that they are now over the moon having him in their arms, but they are well aware that it was a rough path they had to undergo before this joyous moment took place. 

“We didn’t know if Izzy would ever have another sibling but we learned through it all that God is in control and his timing is perfect! He is good all the time even in the difficult times that are hard to understand.”

Izzy, or Isaiah Michael, is Mike and Carrie’s firstborn son, who is now three and a half years old.

Carrie openly spoke about her miscarriages between 2017 and 2018. The couple was fighting the battle against infertility and it wasn’t an easy one. In an interview with CBS Sunday, the country music star reacted to their hurdles saying how she was truly blessed, despite all the struggles they faced. 

“My son, Isaiah, is the sweetest thing. And he’s the best thing in the world. And I’m like, ‘If we can never have any other kids, that’s okay, because he’s amazing.'”

Having a caring husband, a lovely child, and being surrounded with so many people who were by her side all along, the 35-year-old wife and a mom said how there wasn’t anything she should be mad about. Her life was complete, despite her wish of having another child seemed to be out of reach. 

Instagram/Mike Fisher

During the period of agony, Carrie experienced another pain. In November 2017 she had an accident in their Nashville, Tennessee home after she took a tumble on the steps. She broke her wrist and had to undergo a surgery. But she also got stitches on her face. 

When she started feeling things were just going downhill, she suddenly realized that’s how life works. You simply experience ups and downs and now she just had to wait for that period to pass knowing good things are just around the corner. 

And she was right. At the end, they have their bundle of joy in their lives and everything seems just right. The Grammy winner wrote:

“Jacob Bryan Fisher entered the world in the wee hours of the morning on Monday … his mom, dad and big brother couldn’t be happier for God to trust them with taking care of this little miracle! Our hearts are full, our eyes are tired and our lives are forever changed. Life is good…”

Congratulations on your new baby Carrie and Mark, we hope your life will only bring great things along the way. 

Flower Girl Dances For The Crowd But When The Song Changes They Lose It

Another wedding reception you got invited to? That means having to choose some classy outfit, spend some money on a carefully picked gift, and get ready to celebrate the love between two people who will hopefully spend the rest of their lives together. And yes, have some fun along the way. 

If this is what a typical wedding looks like, than the one from the video below is everything but ordinary all thanks to the cheeky flower girl who stole the show. 

We haven’t seen someone so young being so confident in their dancing skills in a long time. This dance routine is definitely one to remember. 

Not only this sweetie took the dance floor, but she totally owned it. All eyes were on her when she started moving along the rhythm of Justin Bieber’s “Baby” and even rocked some lasso moves that were a clear sign of a great show. 

One of the guests thought it would be nice if he joins this little firecracker, but he soon regretted his decision as the flower girl totally ignored him. Her wiggling around the dance floor meant she wasn’t into dancing with a partner. This girl was born to solo! 

As the song came to an end everyone expected from her to take her way to her parents as she was obviously pretty exhausted, but she wasn’t ready to leave the dance floor just yet, especially not now when her favorite song was on. 

PSY’s “Gangnam Style” could be heard filling the air and it meant more fun. Doing the iconic moves that shook the world right after the song was first released, the girl put even bigger smile on everyone’s face. Her vigorous steps teared up the dance floor and she put so much energy into what she was doing that her pink bow came undone. 

People were so into this little’s girl show that they even forgot who this reception was all for. Everyone was cheering loudly and had their phones out because this isn’t something we get to see that often. It just had to be put on tape.

We are sure the bride and the groom were glad this flower girl made their wedding so special. 

You definitely don’t want to miss this hilariously sweet performance. 

Restaurant owner who received daeth threats over anti-Brexit message on receipts won’t remove them

Restaurant owner Ibrahim Dogus took a photograph of the anti-Brexit message printed on a receipt at Westminster Kitchen (Ibrahim Dogus)

Following the referendum about UK separating from the European Union, the Brexit has divided the British into remain-supporters and leave-voters. And now with the Prime minister Teresa May’s party’s Brexit deal being turned down by the majority of the parliament members, the country has fallen into deeper political uncertainty.

Unfortunately, this led to the country’s citizens getting into arguments defending their views of why it’s better to remain part of the Union, and why should the country leave. 

A Londoner who is a restaurant owner decided to share his political views in an unusual way, by writing them down on the place’s receipts. The message he wants to send his customers is that the Brexit is not a great idea, and he even elaborates his reasons. 

The message says:

“Brexit is bad. Immigrants make Britain great. They also cooked and served your food today.”

However, Ibrahim Dogus claims that ever since he opted to express himself regarding the political situation this way, he and the Westminster Kitchen’s staff are getting death threats by those opposing his beliefs. 

Dogus tells The Independent:

“We have been targeted by far right groups who are organised on social media and [it seems like they have been] encouraging each other to attack our business by leaving fake reviews on TripAdvisor, Google Business, and Facebook.”

This owner, whatsoever, is not planning on removing the message despite the phone calls he’s getting.

“The message will stay on the bills until 1 February and then we will replace [it] with a different message,” he says.

“I believe love will win over hate and those who are trying to disguise their racism as political activism are once again caught out.”

The problem is, as he states, that no matter that he’s not afraid, his employees “have been worried about threats of violence and abuse.”

“It has been a horrible few days and our staff feel worried about what’s happening.”

Dogus also accuses people for leaving negative comments on his restaurant’s site. 

“Why are they bringing politics into their food business?” one wrote.

“I do hope that 52 per cent of their customers decide to no longer give them their business,” he added,

which is the percentage of UK voters who voted to leave the European Union.

Fearing for his staff’s safety, this owner contacted the police and reported those threatening them. He hopes they’ll make sure everyone stays safe. 

“Our manager, Maliq Konjuhi, said that he is worried that someone will come and physically attack our premises,” he adds.

Do you believe Dogus choose the right way to express his thoughts on the matter, or he should have kept his business out of politics? What is your opinion?
