We can believe that we are good people, but as long as we don’t treat the dependable and the vulnerable with the respect they deserve, we are away from the right to be considered humans.
It’s not that we should all be crazy about cats and dogs, but hurting any animal on purpose is the most despicable thing a person can do.
The following is the story of a poor soul that was severely neglected, but turned a real warrior and got out of the situation as a winner.
Back in 2017, two garbage men from Pennsylvania were on the job, and as they were about to press the button and crush the garbage they put into the garbage truck, a sudden scream prevented them from proceeding.
They knew something was very wrong so they opened the track lid and came across a sight that broke their hearts into a million pieces.
A gray cat was laying there, tied up and covered in gasoline. It was petrified and shaking.
YouTube
Once it was taken at the nearest vet hospital, it was determined that her condition was serious. The cat was malnourished and dehydrated. Actually, the doctors agreed it was the most severe case of neglect they’ve ever seen or heard of. However, they never gave up on Miracle Maisy and provided her with all the help she needed in order to get on her way to recovery.
She got this name because her survival was a real miracle. We hope she will get to spend the rest of her days surrounded with people who love her to the moon and back.
America’s Got Talent, the Champions is here and it’s better than we expected. All of our favorite winners, as well as many of the finalists from all the seasons, are now back again and compete for the ultimate award.
Now we have some great news. Lovely Darci Lynne took part and she wowed us once again. Even though it’s been only two years after she stole the hearts of every American, she is now a teenager and looking pretty stunning, and different. Darci and her smart-mouthed sidekick, Oscar had a lot to offer to the audience who is eagerly waiting to see who’s leaving with the title of the Champion.
YouTube
When she first took the stage of the show that makes dreams come true, she was just a 12-year-old kid with a passion and desire of becoming someone the world will get to know and love. Needles to say, she achieved her goal.
This shy little girl from Oklahoma turned into a real beauty that took our breath away and convinced us that she is no ordinary talent when her floppy-eared puppet Petunina pressed her paw against Darci’s mouth wanting to be the only one in the limelight and steal the show. That’s a moment to remember.
Darci’s cheeky ventriloquism performances are one-of-a-kind. Now, Oscar took Petunia’s place, but he is no less fun than she was. As the season 12 winner of AGT, Darci was a shoe-in for AGT’s latest series, which brings together plenty of fan favorites and returning winners from every corner of the world.
YouTube
In the latest all action-packed episode, Darci had her puppet by her side and wasn’t afraid to show her skills in a unique singing ventriloquist act.
“Well, I always love a good competition, but I missed being on ‘AGT’ and maybe having a chance to have the ‘World Champion’ title just seemed awesome so.”
Simon reminded her that as she was the first one up, the judges and the audience expected from her to set the standard for the rest of the competitors.
YouTube
Known for her quirky sense of humor, she didn’t fail to make everyone laugh when Oscar made a joke on Simon’s expense. Singing “Nutbush City Limits” and “Proud Mary,” Darci did show everyone why she got the winer title back in 2017.
Well, that is why many people were pretty shocked when she got eliminated from the champion series. However, this didn’t discourage lovely Darci who took to Twitter to make a comment, saying:
“I had a great time being on #AGTChampions and so thankful for @AGT bringing me back to compete. I love what I do and couldn’t do it without any of you guys!! Thank you for the endless support. Best fans in the world!💗🎶 “
We are always eager to see and hear more from this adorable young lady.
This has to be one of the most heartwarming as well as most entertaining wedding ceremonies you’ve ever stumbled upon. We are all perfectly aware that weddings celebrate the love of two people who decide to devote the rest of their lives to one another, but can we really call it a real wedding without all the family members and relatives getting involved and making sure everything goes as smoothly as planned? I guess not.
This particular wedding was so great exactly because of that. Family!
The bride’s siblings decided to treat their loving sister with an amazing dancing performance none will never forget.
YouTube
The guests and the newlyweds formed a circle around the performers who resembled real professionals. The show started with the four boys dancing to Backstreet Boys’ “I Want It That Way” and as though the whole thing wasn’t sweet enough, they ended the routine by posing next to each other with black sunglasses on. Some fierce boys, don’t you think so?
Now it was the time for the four sisters to take the “dance floor” and show what they got. Dancing on “Tell Him” from the musical show “Glee,” they put smiles on everyone’s face. Dressed in cute pink dresses, they were dancing to the rhythm in a perfect sync.
YouTube
Both the brothers and the sisters got back with another act. Vibrant and energetic, they stole the hearts of everyone. The guests were clapping all along and the bride and the groom were more than happy with this perfect wedding gift.
At one moment, everyone was in anticipation to see what’s next. After the girls danced to an Indian song, “Radha” the boys joined them and now all of them were in the limelight. It’s obvious this was very well planed and it took them quite some time to practice and perfect every move, but it was definitely worth it.
The wedding guests were surprised and couldn’t hide their excitement by tapping their feet to the rhythm of the melody. This was a once in a lifetime experience.
YouTube
Unique and unexpected, there was nothing more this bride could ask for. She was struggling to hold her tears back because this was all too emotional for her. Even the little ones managed to remember every single step, and they were all beyond adorable.
After the performance was over, the siblings and the newlyweds shared a group hug and nothing could take that huge grin off their faces.
To be honest, this is really something you should see it for yourself because it’s too good for words. Enjoy!
Lip sync battles are something we are always waiting in anticipation because they bring lots of fun and laughter, mostly when we watch performances of someone who we never though could rock the challenge so perfectly just because they don’t “belong” to that type of music.
The generation gap is something real and it sort of “divides” the elderly and the youngsters, especially when it comes to lifestyle, including music genres. Let’s be honest, although we see the jazz is still well and alive, we don’t really see many of our grandmas listening or dancing to rap music.
There are, however, those who appreciate and listen to different type of music, just like one of our most favorite actresses, lovely Kathy Bates. Lip syncing Bruno Mars’ “That’s What I Like” she puts on a show to remember and leaves the audience cheering out loud.
Facebook/Lip Sync Battle
This multi talented actress who usually plays characters who are frequently tough-talking and outspoken and is an Oscar, Emmy, and a Golden Globes winner is one of the most respected in the industry. Placing herself on the list of the greatest, it was just a matter of time when this 70-year-old icon would show off her other amazing skills, such as those of singing and dancing.
Her style during this challenge that she nailed is as unique as her performance. Wearing a faux fur coat, sunglasses, and the fedora hat so typical for Bruno Mars, she hits the tones and leaves the audience in awe. They are way too excited to be seeing Kathy in this new role.
Surrounded by hot dancers in pajamas, she opens a rock strawberry champagne and strokes a cadillac, which perfectly depicts the song lyrics.
Facebook/Lip Sync Battle
We now know that Kathy Bates is one hell of a dancer who always knows how to keep the crowd entertained.
Chrissy Teigen, one of the show’s hosts commented the performance saying:
“I finally have an answer when somebody asks me–which is always–‘What’s your favourite LSB moment ever?’ It is you on that stage, doing that foot slide.”
Facebook/Lip Sync Battle
No wonder why her amazing performance has been seen around 6 million times. Check it out for yourself, this is way to good for words.
Richard Pringle’s three-year-old boy was “soft, gentle, caring and so lovable” that he could turn even the dullest things into fun and magical experiences his father will remember forever. Those three years Richard got to spend with his beautiful boy are the best three years of his life.
Sadly, the boy died suddenly on August 18, 2016 and left deep sorrow in his father’s heart.
According to Mirror Online, Hughie had a brain condition but led a completely normal life up until that fateful day when he suffered from brain hemorrhage and unfortunately, nothing could be done.

This bereaved parent from Hastings, East Sussex took a year for himself and tried to come to terms with the tragedy that struck his life after which he shared with the world what it really felt like to experience a loss of a child.
He shared his deepest feelings on the social media with the sole purpose to warn parents to never take the time they get to spend with their kids for granted.

Below are the 10 lessons Richard learned after losing his son – in his words. This is so touching.
“1. You can never ever kiss and love too much.
“2. You always have time. Stop what you’re doing and play, even if it’s just for minute. Nothing’s that important that it can’t wait.
“3. Take as many photos and record as many videos as humanly possible. One day that might be all you have.
“4. Don’t spend money; spend time. You think what you spend matters? It doesn’t. What you do matters. Jump in puddles; go for walks. Swim in the sea, build a camp, and have fun. That’s all they want. I can’t remember what we bought Hughie; I can only remember what we did.
“5. Sing. Sing songs together. My happiest memories are of Hughie sitting on my shoulders or sitting next to me in the car singing our favourite songs. Memories are created in music.
Facebook/Richard Pringle
“6. Cherish the simplest of things. Night times, bedtimes, reading stories. Dinners together. Lazy Sundays. Cherish the simplest of times. They are what I miss the most. Don’t let those special times pass you by unnoticed.
“7. Always kiss those you love goodbye and if you forget. Go back and kiss them. You never know if it’s the last time you’ll get the chance.
“8. Make boring things fun. Shopping trips, car journeys, walking to the shops. Be silly, tell jokes, laugh, smile, and enjoy yourselves. They’re only chores if you treat them like that. Life is too short not to have fun.
“9. Keep a journal. Write down everything your little ones do that lights up your world. The funny things they say, the cute things they do. We only started doing this after we lost Hughie. We wanted to remember everything. Now we do it for Hettie, and we will for Hennie too. You’ll have these memories written down forever and when you’re older, you can look back and cherish every moment.
“10. If you have your children with you. To kiss goodnight. To have breakfast with. To walk to school. To take to university. To watch get married. You are blessed. Never ever forget that.”
His gut-wrenching post on Facebook went viral.
These deep words and feelings touched the hearts of millions of people who got to read them. Many shared similar stories and expressed how they understand what he is talking about, whereas others believe Richard should publish a book that will help parents learn how lucky they are to have their children by their side.

Don’t ever forget to put your children first. They are our most precious gift from God.
Preschools are appalling option for many families. These facilities not only provide the children with daycare, but follow nicely designed programs for early learning that expose the little ones to letters, numbers, and shapes from an early age.
Another positive aspect of attending a preschool is that the child will learn how to socialize with their peers, as well as to share and to contribute.
However, one issue that these institutions are facing with is the lack of staff, and although parents have complete confidence in their kids’ teachers, it may happen that they have a lot on their plate for one day and miss when some of the kids gets into trouble.
Tracy Blinov, a mother from Montana, USA left her 7-month-old baby Eliana at the Busy Hands Preschool. This incident happened around 2 years ago, but she remembers it as though it happened yesterday.
As soon as she dropped her baby, she got a call from her teachers to come back because her daughter had been bitten on the face. Tracy rushed back and was shocked by the sight.
This mother is perfectly aware that little children may still not be aware of what’s acceptable behavior and what’s not, but she also believes that both the parents and the teachers should spend a quality amount of time shaping youngsters’ minds and trying to teach them to distinguish good from bad.
The problem here was that Eliana wasn’t bitten once, but multiple times. And Tracy wondered how could the teachers let that happen.
The surveillance footage clearly showed that the staff intervened only after she was all bitten. They say, however, that they stepped in immediately after they heard the girl screaming.
Previous incident
It wasn’t a first time for the child guilty of the attack to do this. She was expelled from another preschool all for the same reasons.
“This toddler that came in was a new customer and she neglected to tell us that the child was a biter and neglected to tell us that the week before she had been kicked out of Little Griz for biting a child,” said the owner, to ABC Fox Montana.“If that would have been told to us, we could have said ‘No, we can’t take her.’”
Eliana was treated with antibiotics, but this incident didn’t affect her energetic mood.
Tracy opens up on the incident:
“She’s in much better spirits today. I’m happy to say the bruising and swelling is coming down a little, it’s amazing how resilient babies are. So blown away by the support from everybody. ABC Fox Montana and KPAX will both be featuring stories on our sweet girl.”
The staff of the preschool were really sorry for the incident and assured the parents that they’ll do everything in their power to hire more teachers and have one adult responsible only for two students.
Every parent leaves their precious children under the wings of the teachers every day for eight hours, and they expect the employees to take good care of them.
Incidents like this one may affect the children deeply so that they refuse to get back to the kindergarten ever again.
This one speaks for the much-needed funds the state should provide for the daycare and kindergartens so that they can hire more teachers.
As for Eliana, we are glad she got back to the preschool and continued being friendly with everyone.
Living with multiple sclerosis requires determination and strength, as well as courage to accept that you are battling against a debilitating illness. This lifelong condition affecting the nervous system is followed by many symptoms that vary from one individual to the other. It’s not terminal, nor contagious or inherited. In fact, the cause remains unknown.
Some of the signs of MS are fatigue, double vision, blindness, psychological issues, dizziness, poor balance, speech difficulties, emotional and memory problems.
Although there is no cure, the medicine is advancing every day and these people are hoping to ease their everyday. We bring you a story that gives hope to people facing MS.
Source: Wikipedia, Marvin 101
However, that may soon be a thing of the past as scientist Dr. Su Metcalfe is on the verge of a medical breakthrough.
With over 2.3 million people infected with the disease around the world, a cure for MS would be a medical wonder. Dr. Metcalfe thinks that the attack on the nerve cells can be halted thanks to a new medical development that has been made at her company LIFNano.
“Some people get progressive MS, so go straight to the severe form of the disease, but the majority have a relapsing or remitting version,” Dr. Metcalfe said to Cambridge News.
“It can start from the age of 30, and there’s no cure, so all you can do is suppress the immune response, but the drugs that do that have side effects, and you can’t repair the brain. The cost of those drugs is very high, and in the UK there are a lot of people who don’t get treated at all.”
Source: Cambridge Neuroscience
Dr. Metcalfe uses the stem cell particle LIF that is a part of the immune cell, and this specific stem cell particle is able to control and confine the attack on your body.
“I was looking to see what controls the immune response and stops it auto-attacking us,” she explains.
“I discovered a small binary switch, controlled by a LIF, which regulates inside the immune cell itself. LIF is able to control the cell to ensure it doesn’t attack your own body but then releases the attack when needed.
“That LIF, in addition to regulating and protecting us against attack, also plays a major role in keeping the brain and spinal cord healthy. In fact it plays a major role in tissue repair generally, turning on stem cells that are naturally occurring in the body, making it a natural regenerative medicine, but also plays a big part in repairing the brain when it’s been damaged.
“So I thought, this is fantastic. We can treat auto-immune disease, and we’ve got something to treat MS, which attacks both the brain and the spinal cord. So you have a double whammy that can stop and reverse the auto-immunity, and also repair the damage caused in the brain.”

Of course, further research needs to be done but Dr. Metcalfe’s medical breakthrough does sound very promising and finally provides hope for a permanent cure. A date for a potential cure has been set at 2020, although that date might be a bit overzealous. Nonetheless, a cure in 2020 could be possible if tests are positive and enough research can be done.
“The 2020 date is ambitious, but with the funding we’ve got and the funding we’re hoping to raise, it should be possible,” she says.
Dr. Metcalfe and her company are already looking to take down other severe diseases as well.
“Psoriasis is high up on our list, and diabetes is another. Downstream there are all the dementias because a LIF is a major health factor for the brain. So if we can get it into the brain we can start protecting against dementia.”
Is there anything more appealing than having a bowl of Italian pasta with some flavoring of fresh tomatoes after a long day at work? I guess not. Plus the kids are going crazy over this dish which is definitely one of their favorite.
The only negative thing about pasta is that it takes ages to be prepared.
While cooking, spaghetti and noodles stick together and it may ruin the taste. The reason why this happens is apparently hidden behind the “wrong” recipe.
Luckily, we’ve stumbled upon the best pasta making video that changed the way we cook it. If you too waited for too long for the water to boil before you put the pasta in, now you can have equally delicious base for your meal by completely avoiding that part of the recipe.
Saves water, time and energy
You ask me how? Just get rid of the saucepan and get yourself a frying pan. No boiling water, and no waiting. Sounds nice, right?
Simply put the pasta into cold water that will prevent it from sticking and you are left with a small amount of pasta water you can use to prepare the sauce.
For the complete procedure take a look at the video below. This is definitely something I am trying right away!
Being in the army and being deployed can affect the life of the military men and women. It’s not unusual for them to experience difficulties getting used to their old life and be around their old friends. Sometimes they need the help and the support of their closest relatives to overcome the situation they have found themselves in.
Major Diggs Brown served the Army for 30 years. His career in the military includes a tour in Afghanistan that left him with a post-traumatic stress disorder. This man now spends his days in the company of his service dog Arthur, his most loyal companion that never leaves his friend’s side.
“He does a lot of things. He wakes me up from nightmares when I have them. When I have anxiety attacks, he calms me down. He saved my life and I’m even off the drugs.”

Service dogs are allowed to accompany their owners whenever they go, including restaurants and other places. This right is guaranteed by law and the owners of every eatery are required to follow it.
These dogs, unlike therapy animals, go through rigorous training that helps them learn how to behave in public.
Sadly, not everyone is aware of this law and many times people accompanied by their service dogs find themselves in awkward and unpleasant situations.
When Major Brown visited Chicago back in 2015, he was asked by the waitress to leave the French bistro called Cochon Volant because the place apparently didn’t accept dogs in.
He tried to explain that Arthur wasn’t a regular dog, but someone he couldn’t function without, but the employee insisted that he leave and take his dog with him.
As Major Brown said later, he isn’t mad at the waitress because she only followed the place policy and wasn’t aware of the law. This situation triggered the question of the quality of training U.S restaurants’ staff are getting.

He recalls how he politely asked for his breakfast, and once he we turned down, he said:
“This is my service dog, he can go wherever I go, it’s the law,” Brown told the hostess.
Her reply:
“I don’t care, you need to leave, we don’t have dogs in the restaurant.”

Brown didn’t get involved in an argument. He simply got out of the place and headed back home to Fort Collins, Colorado.
But, he couldn’t stop thinking of the incident. He really wasn’t mad at the hostess, but he decided to share his story on his Facebook page just for the sake of raising public awareness of the importance of service dogs.
“When I got home, I posted to my Facebook page, this is what happened to me and it went viral.
Guess this would be a case of ‘No thanks for your service.’”
Soon after, the restaurant owners issued a public apology.
“The Cochon Volant family is both saddened and disappointed to hear this account of a veteran’s experience.”
Yesterday’s circumstance was not a true representation of our company policy and we have begun immediate internal review of protocol, training of staff and ADA regulations to ensure this will never happen again.”
They even donated to Puppies Behind Bars, the organization that provides training for service dogs, among which Arthur himself.

Brown further explained:
“It’s not my intent to destroy a restaurant but it is my intent to make them aware that they have violated a law that not only affects veterans with dogs, but other people with disabilities with service laws and that they need to be aware that it’s discrimination. They’ve stepped up to the plate and they are going to make some changes at the restaurant so I’m happy in my mind that it is resolved.”
Later, he returned to Chicago once again to take part in a walk hosted by the organization No Barriers that works with veterans with disabilities.
However, we don’t know whether he returned to the restaurant again.
Young children with remarkable talent for music always blow me away. And I like the fact that most of them, unlike many adults, know how to cope with the stage fright if they even have it.
Karolina Protsenko is a nine-year-old prodigy that plays the violin like no other kid her age that we know of. Her recent performance took our breath away. Moving to the rhythm of the famous “Despacito,” she caught the attention of the passersby of Santa Monica who couldn’t help but stop and enjoy the performance.
YouTube
This exceptionally talented and stylish young girl made the onlookers’ day leaving them with a smile on their face.
Happy to be given the chance to witness something this extraordinary, they filled her bucket with money.
And as a real star in the making, she ended her show by treating the crowd with a smile and a bow, holding her instrument under her arm.
YouTube
Karolina runs a YouTube channel where she posts videos of her performances that are followed by 100,000 people.
“I am Karolina Protsenko,” reads the description of her YouTube channel.
“I’ve been playing violin since I was 6 years old. My desire is to bring a little bit of magic and inspiration into the world through my love to violin. Thank you for helping me share the gift of music. I love you.”
She does exactly that. Gives the world a bit of magic through her performances of covers of some of the most popular songs such as Ed Sheeran’s “Shape of You” and Maroon 5’s “Girls Like You.” So she is definitely not a classical musician but is using her instrument to create a violin music blended with pop elements. Needless to say, the final result is a real treat for the ear. If you don’t believe us, you can check her channel and take a look at the number of performances she has shared there.

This is not the first time, however, for us to come across this newly created genre of music knows as pop violin.
Many agree how Karolina is a mini version of Stirling. One person says: “Props to her for doing this with Lindsey Stirling moves…amazing!” We’ve heard of Stirling and her unique music after she took the stage of the fifth season of America’s Got Talent. It’s fun how the judges of one of the greatest music talent shows didn’t really see it in her. They made it clear that her music was fine, but it didn’t impress them a great deal.
”You’re not untalented, but you’re not good enough, I don’t think, to get away with flying through the air and trying to play the violin at the same time,” said judge Piers Morgan.

Later, Stirling became a world famous YouTube sensation. She created new kind of music and it was enchanting to listen and to watch.
Her style is distinctive. She manages to blend electronic and classical elements in original music and covers. Her performances are vibrant, and full of energy that is easily transferred to the crowed, so her shows are one-of-a-kind.
Stirling has around 2 million subscribers and has released five albums. Some of the names she worked with are Pete Hollens and the most famous acapella group Pentatonix.

She’s not mad at the judges for turning her down because it made her more determined to achieve greater things.
“It hurt so bad because it was kind of true, and I think the truth hurts way more. And they were right. I hadn’t earned or developed the skills to be able to dance, to be thrown around up in the air while playing the violin. It’s really difficult.”
Now, years after she became a very successful star, she got invited to be part of the show once again, the season for the “Champions,” but she politely refused the invitation to get back on the stage of America’s Got Talent.
“It was really funny because they called me, and I thought maybe they wanted me to be a guest performer or something and I literally, my jaw kind of dropped,” she said. “They were like, ‘We want to invite you back on America’s Got Talent.’ And I was like, ‘Thank you. I don’t mean to be rude, but I would never come back to compete. Like, I’m sorry I do really well on my own now. I tour the world. Thank you, but absolutely not.’ It was a funny moment for me.”

As for Karolina, we believe she’ll become a world sensation just like Stirling because she has a spark that shows her confidence and her love of performing.
Her talent is undeniable and people accepted her as a girl that has so much to give in the years to come. One person comments:
“I’d probably drop every single penny in my pocket in the box. It touched my soul!”
It touched ours as well. She is a unique young lady that is on the right track.
If you’re worried that your faith in humanity is dwindling down to nothing, fear not! Katy Hurst is a woman with a heart of gold who will teach you why you should never stop believing in the good in people.
As she was waiting for her food at Independence, MO Burger King, an unusual sight caught her attention.
A man in his late fifties was sitting there weeping.
“I pulled around to wait for my order and he was there and he broke down crying,” Hurst told KMBC.
Someone identified the upset man as Pops.
“I saw him crying, he broke down and I didn’t know who this person was,” Hurst told FOX 43. “I had seen him through the community. He used to have a bike with a cart.”

Pops later told KMBC how he felt like he couldn’t take it anymore. He was tired of everything. Of his sad faith, of the pain he was feeling, of the people who would always choose to ignore his desperate need to be given a helping hand. He said how he was praying for an angel to get him home.
“I told him there’s a place at the table he set for me, I’m hungry, I’m ready to eat…if there’s room prepared for me, I’d like to come home,” he said.
Hurst was there to change all that. She assured him how his life wasn’t going to end that day. And she kept her promise.
“I was lonely, I was sad, I kept having one bad time after the next,” he told FOX 43.

She welcomed him to her home where he could take the much-needed rest. He was obviously in a bad shape and needed to see a doctor as soon as possible. Hurst understood how he was robbed and beaten, and he suffered severe injures.
“He said, ‘I have a broken collarbone, I have broken ribs, I’ve been beaten up,’” Hurst told FOX 43. “He needed somebody to step in and help him. That’s what I did.”
This wonderful lady shared Pops’ story with the world and asked kind-hearted people to step in and help as much as they could.
“Pops needs our help to show him that this world is still full of good people!” the YouCaring donation page reads.
Hurst’s plea inspired people to donate funds, and so far more than $7,500 have been raised.
Pops was given new clothes and hot meals, but his journey towards his brand new life has just started. He has a long way to go. But with the help of the community and people like Hurst nothing is impossible.

“He was very nice and a soft-spoken gentleman,” said hairstylist Pamela Denson. “He said all he did was pray. The only way he knew how to ask for help was to pray.”
The goal is to raise enough money for Pops to be provided with a place to stay.
“We have to help each other and helping each other helps all of us,” said Hurst.
Faith in God has always been an important part of Denzel Washington’s life. This Oscar and Golden Globe awarded winner has spoken up about his religion in attempt to encourage young people not to be ashamed of their love for God.
Denzel was born December 28, 1954, in Mount Vernon, New York. He has known of God since the moment he became aware of the world, as a very young boy. His father, Reverend Denzel Hayes Washington, Sr., served God all his life. His mother, Lynne Washington, was a beauty salon owner.
Denzel had special relation with both his parents. They were all very close as a family. Denzel talks about his relation to his father saying:
“My father, my earthly father, Denzel Washington Sr. was a pastor for the Church of God in Christ for 60 years…
I know he’s smiling in heaven, seeing his son doing the best I can do today, by the grace of God.”
This was the life he knew until he turned 14 when he started hanging out with many different friends who didn’t have positive influence on him.
He was getting involved into fights very often and his relation with God sort of faded away after his parents divorced. Their separation affected the life of young Denzel a great deal.
His performance at school was poor, so his mother knew she had to make a change in her son’s life and try to get him back on track. She decided to place him in the nearby Oakland Military Academy.
This life changing decision brought God closer to Denzel once again. His faith became stronger than ever and that won’t change in the years to come.
According to the St. Louis American, this is what the actor had to say for the moment of enlightenment.
“I had flunked out of college. I had a 1.7 grade point average. I had no future…. I was sitting looking in the mirror and I see a woman behind me sitting under the dryer. Of course, the voice of God always comes from under a dryer.
She said, ‘young man, you are going to travel the world and speak to people.
Now mind you, I was 20 years old, with a 1.7 grade point average and had flunked out of school. She said, ‘you are going to preach.'”
These words came to young Denzel as sort of awakening. He knew he had to choose his next step carefully, so he eventually opted to enroll in Fordham University choosing medicine as his major. In the meantime, he played some baseball and everything seemed fine, but not for long.
Denzel didn’t feel complete. He knew he had to make a change so he took a semester off and pursued other options. In one moment he turned to Camp Sloane YMCA in Lakeville, Connecticut where he was offered a job position of a Creative Art Director. That seemed like a great idea.
The Camp Sloane website explained how their program helped propel Denzel into the actor he is today:
“The counselors there put on a talent show for the kids. I put together these little poems and rhymes and skits for the kids in my cabin, and we stood up on stage and did our bit. After the show this guy named Miles Joyce came up to me and said, ‘Man, you ever thought about being an actor?'”
That wasn’t something he ever though of doing, but the word “acting” sounded challenging.
Needless to say, getting involved into acting was the best decision he could ever make.
He returned to college but ditched his old studies and studied Arts in Journalism instead.
Quickly after, he found himself in a completely new world. That of Hollywood. He had his break up role in “Carbon Copy” and his career went upwards making him one of the best and most famous world actors.
After that breakout role, Denzel landed spots on Glory, Crimson Tide, The Preacher’s Wife, Malcolm X and The Hurricane, just to name a few!
But Denzel’s biggest film thus far, Training Day, brought him the highest award possible in Hollywood: an Oscar for Best Actor. It was his crowning achievement after nearly two decades in the industry!
Despite his incredible success, he told Charisma News that God never lost faith in him:
“There’s never been a time where God didn’t direct, protect, and correct me…. There may have been times where I was less than faithful to Him, but He had faith in me.”
He believes he owes his success and fame to his faith in God. Both he and his wife Pauletta Pearson are devoted Christians who managed to keep their marriage strong despite the pressure his career had on their relationship.
Denzel told the Huffington Post that couples nowadays don’t seems to share the same drive to make things work:
“We live in a time – and it’s not for me to judge anyone – when people give up too easy.”
In the same Huffington Post article, Pauletta said that marriage isn’t all happiness and roses:
“I live with this man. I see the down part. I see the sad part. I see every part.
He has and knows he has that stability in me as his wife.
That’s gives him strength, regardless of if he misuses it. I can’t dwell on that. But I do know that gives him a great platform to go and fly.”
Their marriage of 33 years is still one of the strongest in Hollywood. The reason why? Denzel says:
“Two phrases. One is “yes, dear” and the other is “honey, you’re right.” Be patient. Be good friends first. And stick together. You gotta work at it. I’ve been married 31 years. It’s not all a honeymoon, it’s not all flowers and roses, but if you’re friends and partners and committed, you’ll be okay.”
A good marriage means never giving up of one another.
“I just think that you have to work at it. Not give up on each other. It’s a commitment. It’s not all the honeymoon, it doesn’t last forever, so you work at it.”
Although fame can come and go, the faith in God and the relationship with the right person are forever.
In addition to his marriage advice, Denzel told Evangelical Focus that there’s one thing you have to keep in mind during the good times and the bad:
“Number one, put God first in everything you do.
Everything that you think you see in me and everything you think I’ve accomplished and everything you think I have… everything I have is by the grace of God, understand that. It’s a gift.”
He shares his life story with the world to inspire those who are struggling with doubt. He adds that although he lost his faith in God at some point in life, God never lost faith in him.
I don’t think there is anyone out there who doesn’t appreciate good music. Many times, even if we are not in the mood of singing or dancing, we find ourselves lightly moving around in the rhythm or mumbling the lyrics once our favorite song comes along.
Take this lovely boy for example. He got into his role of a musician so much that he managed to put huge grin on the onlookers’ faces. Looking at him rolling will melt your heart. The band is more than happy to let him join them in.

Little Boone and his mommy Stefanie are from Pensacola, Florida but they were taking a trip to New Orleans where they stumbled upon the performance by the band of jazz musicians who are well known to the New Orleans residents. “Where Ya At Brass Band” got together back in 2010 and are making the crowd happy ever since. They performed at the 2014 NBA All-Star Game, the 2013 Texas Music Festival, and the 2016 Jazz Musical Press Conference.
The Jackson Square was the place where all the fun was that day.
YouTube
Passersby were stopping to enjoy the incredible sound coming from the square, but none could imagine that the show they were putting on will become even more entertaining with another member joining in.
Cute Boone was holding in his tiny hands an object resembling a trumpet and confidently started “playing” on it as he approached the band members. They accepted the boy with a smile and were glad he decided to add to the fun.
One of the musicians squatted behind Boone while blowing his trumpet and that made the boy swaying his hips while blowing his “trumpet.”
Everyone enjoyed the sight, including Stefanie who couldn’t hold her laughter back. She was so proud of her son. He didn’t mind performing in front of an audience, and acted as though he had done it countless of times before.
One of the people who witnessed the cute performance recorded it and posted it on YouTube.

The crowd couldn’t stop clapping as the band let Boone steal the show by putting him in the limelight. After a while, Stefanie thought it was enough “playing” for that day so they both thanked the band members and left.
As they were leaving the square, Boone didn’t stop “playing his trumpet.”
Everyone agrees that this toddler is one-of-a-kind. Not every child his age has the courage to stand in front of a bunch of people and pretend to play the instrument. He is a real star in the making.
We all agree that the singing competition shows such as Britain’s Got Talent and X Factor catch our attention because we are eager to discover new talents the way the judges are. Whenever someone takes the stage we wonder whether the next Susan Boyle is about to shine and steal our hearts.
However, we often forget how many people who are extremely talented don’t even take part in such shows. Although we are aware of this, we are still a bit surprised when someone really talented comes along our way, like this adorable choir from Ireland. Even though their vocals are exceptional, the video of them performing at a Christmas concert vent viral for another reason.

The members from the Mount Sion Choir in Waterfowrd performed the song “Shallow” from the movie “A star is born” which requires out-of-this-world vocal skills to be completed at least close to the original.
Luckily, Jessica Reinl and Christopher Halligan posses energetic voices that filled the room with amazing energy. Their singing was accompanied by the soft sound of the piano which made the whole experience even more enjoyable.

Chris started singing first, and when the time came for Jess to let her voice loose something really sweet happened. Her singing partner Chris started smiling, feeling all proud of the way she performed her part. It was as though he was hearing her voice for the first time. His reaction was spotted by everyone around and they all agreed it was a fun one.
Some even say that the big grin on his face was a result of his nervousness because he was performing in front of a bunch of people whose eyes were all looking at him and his fellow friends.
When they sang together, their voices blended in a perfect harmony and they created a real pleasure for the eyes and ears of everyone present at this Christmas show. The video of the beautiful performance has been seen by millions of people.

It looks like this Lady Gaga’s song was the real deal for this choir that gained a lot of followers that day. They are planning on releasing a single with the help of the Irish singer and a songwriter Don Mescall. It will be for the benefit of The Solas Centre in Waterford, Can Teen, and Can Care 4 Living.
And as we all agree that their talent is truly amazing, it’s Chris’ reaction that made the whole thing more memorable.
The need to be around other people and share our emotions with those who we believe are similar to us is what makes us human beings. The connections we make during our life time define us and speak a lot about us as individuals.
A woman from Orlando experienced the most heartwarming encounter in her life. An adorable young boy approached her and felt the need to treat her with a hug. Why? Because he believed they were the same.
“The Lucky Pin Project” is a non profit organization that enables meet-ups for people with limb differences. The emotional moment took place during one of the events they hosted, where lovely Joseph Tidd was with his parents.
As he was making everyone around smile with the sweet “good-byes” he was sharing around, the 1-year-old boy’s attention was captured by the 34-year-old Amy Siesel, from Mexico.
Why this young mom was so appealing for Joseph is because she had an undeveloped right arm which was a result of a side effect of the medicine her mother was taking while she was pregnant with her. Lovely Joseph was missing his left arm, so seeing someone with the same birth defect made him come closer.
Amy greeted her new pal in the cutest way possible, by rising her arm for a fist bump.
Everyone around agreed how amazing it was for the boy to feel the connection with someone similar to him. It was as though he knew Amy for a long time. This kind soul felt the need to give Amy a hug. She was overwhelmed with emotions and couldn’t believe how deep this simple gesture affected her.
This meeting was something both of them needed badly. Amy was pleased to show the boy that he wasn’t alone and that’s something his parents appreciated very much.
As she was holding Joseph in her arms, their affected limbs were touching as though they were doing fist bumps. The reason behind Joseph’s undeveloped arm was a condition that prevented it from getting fully developed while he was still in his mommy’s womb.
However, Joseph is very lucky to have caring parents like Colleen and Miles who do all in their power to make him feel accepted. They want to teach him that not having an arm doesn’t make him less worth or any different than the rest of the world. That is why they support initiatives like the one organized by “Lucky Fin Project.” It’s a great way for their son to get to bond with people, many of which have the same condition as him.
This encounter is something you don’t want to miss.
One of the most adorable American couples are engaged and the fans from all over the country are going crazy. Miss Universe Demi-Leigh Nel-Peters said YES, and we can’t be more excited for her and her fiancé Tim Tebow.
These devoted Christians fell in love during an event hosted by Tim’s foundation and they became inseparable ever since.

Demi-Leigh’s sister is a girl with special needs and she was part of “Night to Shine,” a prom-like occasion that hosts young teenagers with certain disabilities, and makes them feel extra special by walking on a red carpet and being treated like queens and kings. The one when the two sweethearts first met took place in Demi-Leigh’s home country South Africa.
The moment they laid eyes on each other, they knew they were meant to be. Their devotion to God and the faith they live by is only one of the things they have in common.

Tim shared with PEOPLE details about the romantic proposal. Although they dated for a short period of time, he knew he wanted to spend the rest of his life by her side.
He invited her to his family farm outside of Jacksonville, Florida where he had set up an arbor and a custom designed bench engraved with the date the couple first met.
Tim proposed saying: “Demi Leigh Nel-Peters, I love you. Demi Leigh Nel-Peters, will you marry me?” and that was a moment to remember. To be honest, that 7.25-carat solitaire ring suits her perfectly.
“This ring is internally flawless. Just like you.”

As though this wasn’t enough surprise for the day, Tim arranger South African singer Mattew Mole to serenade the lovely couple one of their favorite songs.
“I actually wasn’t really nervous. I was excited. I wanted everything to be perfect and to go smoothly. But I wasn’t nervous to actually ask her.”
He couldn’t wait to share the big news with his fans by posting a cute photo on Instagram.
“Thank you for saying YES and making me the happiest man in the world. You’re the love of my life, and I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with you.”
She posted the same photo with the following caption:
“Any dreams I’ve ever had, you’ve exceeded them all! I love you and I can’t wait to spend forever with you! @timtebow.“
But what’s a moment like this if you don’t share it with those that mean the world to you. Their family and friends were all there to congratulate the newly engaged couple.
Instagram/demileighnp
They have spent a great day together, cherishing and celebrating the love of Tim and Demi-Leigh. Her father suggested the guests to make a circle around the couple and pray for their life together. It was an emotional moment that united the two families even stronger.
They have same plans for the future and know they’ll continue their life mission of helping the less fortunate and be valuable part of the community.
Tim and Demi-Leigh, we wish you an amazing life ahead!
When you notice a person in trouble, you feel the urge to step in and help. That’s exactly what a Reddit user planned on doing after he overheard a guy threatening the girl he was out on a date with. But as he wanted to head towards the couple, a man came closer and said, “I have this.” What happened next is sort of amazing and restores our faith in humanity.
Below is the post.
So, possibly one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen. I mean you know how you hear the “women want him, men want to be him” stuff in old movies? Well I’m a man and by god I wanted to be this guy. Anyway!
I’m having dinner with my girlfriend at the time, and behind us are a couple on a date. It is not going well. Guy was being rather creepy and making some pretty inappropriate comments, the girl doesn’t look at all comfortable.
The girl finishes her appetizer really quickly, my guess is she wanted to get it over with. Guy proceeds to comment on it and says “well, least I know you can swallow right?”. Loudly. Girl goes red and tells him that isn’t appropriate, he literally waves his hand in a “shoo” type motion and says “oh calm down I was going to find out in a few hours anyway”.
I missed her exact reply as she moved to a hushed tone, but it was fairly obvious what was being said – f*ck no, f*ck off, f*ck this. He responded with “sweetheart I picked you up, I know where you live”. She lost the color in her face and said nothing.
I’m not one of those “get involved” type of people, but there is no way I’m sitting here watching this go down. I get up. I don’t know what I’m going to do, but I’m 23, fighting fit and happy to put that motherf*cker through a wall.
I was halfway out of my chair when a hand came down on my shoulder and I look up to this mid-50s but super fit guy who says “Easy.. I’ve got this one son”. Absolute, total confidence in his voice..
He walks over, grabs a nearby chair, flips it around and sits down with the couple. Then.. he pulls out his police ID and puts it on the table. Now the guy doesn’t have any color in his face.
Cop: “So, I’m quietly celebrating my daughters birthday with my family when I distinctly hear you threaten this young lady, would you care to explain yourself?”
Guy: “I, ah, well, um, you see..”
Cop: “That’s what I thought. Now see, we take a very dim view of that kind of thing, so right now I’m deciding if I want to have some of my buddies come pick you up.”
Guy: “oh no well that…”
Cop: “But that would disrupt everyone’s dinner, so how about you hand me your ID, because I wouldn’t want you running off on me, then you go see one of the staff here and settle your bill.. the full bill now, this young lady shouldn’t go hungry on account of your poor behavior. Or we can go with the first option, I’ll leave it up to you.”
Guy: “No no! That’s perfectly fine!” *hands over ID, gets up and walks very quickly in the direction of the counter*
Cop: *while writing down the guys details* “Sorry about that miss, I hope I’m not intruding it just seemed like you could use some help. Oh and don’t worry, if you want to pursue this further I’ll have some of the boys pick him up on his way home, we can definitely take this further.”
Girl: “No, thank you so much, I wanted to run out 30 minutes ago but he drove me here”.
Cop: *shifts from hard-ass cop to comforting father figure in about half a second* “Well I’m here with my daughter, she’s about your age, perhaps you’d like to finish your meal with us? We can take you home afterwards if you’d like, unless you’d prefer to call someone else?”
Girl: “Oh.. that would be really nice.. thank you so much!”
*guy returns, so does the cop*
Guy: “Uh so, I’ve paid the bill, if I could have my ID back..”.
Cop: “There you go.. now I have your details right here so I highly recommend you don’t go near or contact this young lady ever again.”
Guy: “Yes yes of course, I’m so sorry!”
The guy pretty much fled the restaurant, the girl went and sat with the cop and his family and by the time we left they were still sitting around talking and laughing about random crap.
It was hands down the best way I have ever seen anybody handle any situation, ever.
That cop is my hero.
We believe the cop acted the best way possible and couldn’t handle the situation any better. Would you do anything differently?
After the mother of 6-year-old Braedence Jones from Camden County, Missouri failed to return him to his father, Ryan Jones, the boy has been reported missing. According to Lake Expo, the father court-ordered custody of the child and that’s when everything started. From that moment, no one knew where the boy could be.
Both the father and the authorities were deeply concerned for Braedence well-being because his mother’s boyfriend, Ferguson, whom they assumed was near the child, was a convicted felon.
The search for the little boy went on for almost six months. He was found after following a tip from the U.S. Marshals Service Midwest Violent Fugitive Task Force, KTVI reported.
The case of Braedence got the public attention and everyone was praying for the boy to be found safe and sound. These kinds of cases affect people very deeply because the lives of young children are in question.
Many people offered their help and there was a Facebook page “Help Bring Braedence Home” where people could share any information that could help officers track the boy down.
The search was finally over when Braedence was located inside a home around 30 miles from his father’s home, in a crawlspace in the attic.
He was inside together with his mother, and that tiny space where they were staying was nailed shut.
Little Braedence reunited with his daddy and it was indeed heartwarming. Ryan and his girlfriend Breanne Dominguez couldn’t be happier for having their son by their side again. They went on to thank everyone who helped along the way, saying:
“Our little boy is home! God is so good! Thank you all for the prayers, shared, phone calls and etc. we don’t know how to thank everyone enough. Our hearts are so full of joy. Just thank you everyone.”
The federal attorney charged Ferguson with multiple crimes, and currently, he is in custody.
“We also want to thank every officer that has helped on the way and looked for him,” Dominguez wrote in a separate post. “Thank you all for bringing him home, you all will forever be in our hearts.”
We are also very happy because the search ended well and Braedence will have a happy childhood with people who love him instead of being on the run with his mother and her criminal boyfriend.
A family friend set up a GoFundMe page where people can donate to help the family cover the costs for the search.
I don’t really understand why someone would still believe that people with Down syndrome are likely to live less fulfilling life than that of other people. This belief comes from those same judgmental and biased individuals who would shamelessly stare at someone who is a bit different than them, not realizing that being different means being unique.
Luckily, the number of those who are supportive towards the individuals with Down syndrome is huge, and we can’t be happier because of the fact that whole communities are becoming friendly towards these people.
Take lovely Andrew for example. He is our hero who proves once again that if you really want something, every obstacle can be easily overcome. He is taking part in the new show “The Greatest Dancer.” It aired on England’s BBC One and is produced by Simon Cowell’s entertainment company and focuses on ordinary people.
Andrew is truly extraordinary. His audition began as he and his mother entered the waiting-room space.
“Show time!” he exclaimed as his mother tied his dancing shoes. “It’s all about me now, Mum.”
His mother explained how he fell in love with dancing since he was 11 years old. This affection grew stronger by Andrew watching dancing shows and performances, just like the one he was about to take part in. You already assume, this means the world to this boy who would spent his days practicing the moves in his home’s living room.
“It just made him feel joyful,” she explained. “And that’s what started him on his love of dance.”
“Dance has helped Andrew’s confidence enormously,” she added. “His self-esteem has rocketed.”
The Evening Express pointed out that the concept of this show is quite different than everything we’ve seen so far. The contestants will only be revealed to the crowd if they get 75% of the audience’s votes in their favor. If this happens, lights flash.
Andrew started dancing to Justin Timberlake’s 2016 hit “Can’t Stop the Feeling!” and his performance is just wow. You just have to see it for yourself!
The show he put on stage made everyone’s day. He got the audience’s votes in no time and even made judge Cheryl Tweedy shed some tears.
“That was amazing and to watch you and see your excitement and see how much you thrive from an audience is such a special moment,” she said. “You clearly need to be doing this more because it does something for your soul, you’re in your element.”
Although Andrew’s dancing stole our hearts, another scene touched us to the core. As our star was about to start performing a woman from the audience was seen touching the shoulder of another young man with Down Syndrome saying in excitement, “Tom, Tom, there’s Andrew.” This was very sweet!
Seeing his best friend rocking the stage put a smile on his face, the way he put on ours.
With the advance of technology, the way we communicate is eased a great deal. However, the older generations may experience certain difficulties when it comes to using the modern devices, and many of them simply refuse to learn how to check their e-mail, talk via Facetime or Skype, or share the way they feel by sending emojis on Viber. As long as they lived in the time when the typewriter was a thing, they are probably outdated. However, they are way more skilled than the youngsters when it comes to REAL face to face communication spiced with a pinch of old-school humor. Take this witty lady for example, she is gonna make you laugh.
Three women, two younger, and one senior citizen, were sitting naked in a sauna. Suddenly there was a beeping sound. The young woman pressed her forearm and the beep stopped. The others looked at her questioningly. ‘That was my pager,’ she said. ‘I have a microchip under the skin of my arm.’
A few minutes later, a phone rang. The second young woman lifted her palm to her ear. When she finished, she explained, ‘That was my mobile phone. I have a microchip in my hand.’
The older woman felt very low-tech. Not to be outdone, she decided she had to do something just as impressive. She stepped out of the sauna and went to the bathroom. She returned with a piece of toilet paper hanging from her rear end.
The others raised their eyebrows and stared at her. The older woman finally said… ‘Well, will you look at that…
A couple named Randy and Alicia Atkins shared a special yet unique moment together, with proof in the form of a photo in which most parents would just shake their heads and gasp at – it was not something everyone would commonly experience. Plus, it happened during a surgical procedure. While Alicia was giving birth to their daughter which required a C-section, her husband Randy Atkins had been informed, much to his surprise, by one of the doctors – that their daughter had grabbed onto his finger during the surgery! A very bewildered Randy took it upon himself to see the moment with his very own eyes and take a commorative photo of that phenomenon. Little did he know that soon the picture would go viral once uploaded on social media. “The doctor called me over and said, ‘Hey, she’s grabbing my finger.’ So I ran over there and just grabbed the shot and I was just in awe looking at it. It was such an amazing picture,” recalled Randy Atkins. His wife added: “It was all the doctor could talk about for weeks.” Alicia mentions that her doctor even has his own canvas print of the photo.
The Atkins couple had dearly named their daughter Nevaeh, which actually meant Heaven, spelled backwards. The hospital staff discussed with the Atkins about that moment, as if there was something almost spiritual about the picture of their daughter holding onto the doctor’s finger before she was born. Naveah is the newest addition to their family, with two older siblings. The photo has since gained more than 1,000 likes on Facebook. Alicia even got a few monetary offers from organizations who even expressed great interest in buying he photo!
Her catchy and out-of-this-world vocal isn’t the only thing remarkable Susan Boyle stands behind. Her taking part in one of the most popular music shows, Britain’s Got Talent, and showing the whole world that what really matters is what’s inside was enough inspiration for many “ordinary” people to show the world their own talent. She made millions believe that they can change the world and trust in themselves, just like Susan did.
It feels like yesterday when this fierce lady told the world how she wanted to become a professional singer like Elaine Paige. The audience that took her for granted regretted their cynical attitude once she let her voice loose and charmed the 10 million viewers.

This time, nine years after she first took the stage, she appeared on America’s Got Talent’s series “The Champions” where she got to sing in front of Simon Cowell once again.
She chose to be a champion for those who lack self-confidence, those who are ignored, and those with unfulfilled promises.
She opted for “Wild Horses” by the Rolling Stones and filled the place with incredible emotions she poured into the amazing performance. Both the audience and the judges were thrilled and enjoyed Susan’s singing. At the end, everyone was on their feet, giving her standing ovation.

“You’re the one,” says Simon, the one that is the definition of the show, he explains.
“You know what, Susan,” Simon said, “I can’t think of any other contestant who has defined this show better than you, I’m being honest with you. You’re the one. You’ve made a huge difference to a lot of people’s lives and I’m absolutely thrilled that you’re here.”
Susan earned herself a golden buzzer given to her by Mel B who believes it’s something she truly deserves. It’s sort of a recognition for all the years she treated us with her talent. Way to go Susan!
Make sure you listen to her performing in the video below.

I don’t think there is a single person who doesn’t move along the rhythm of the addictive River Dance music. The unique Irish dancing style was introduced to the general public and gained its popularity during the Eurovision song contest of 1994. If there was someone until then who would say the Irish dancers keeping their upper body straight while performing are not presenting anything special, Michael Flatley and gracious Jean Butler changed all that.
All of a sudden, this style enchanted the whole world by storm and became so popular that now millions of people are eager to get a ticket for the Riverdance show which is now the most successful dance productions in the world.
The lively rhythm is so contagious that even young children follow it with ease. This fun and inspiring music made this lovely baby go for it and treat us with the most adorable step dance moves. It is bound to make you smile and want more.
The sweet cutie pie is simply mesmerized by the Celtic music her mother plays in background. It might be that this music and the skillful motion runs in the DNA of the Irish people. They have to be born with it. As for this lovely girl, she is definitely a Riverdancer in the making.
Keeping her upper body straight and doing some crazy dancing with her legs, makes her a real “pro.” She taps her tiny feet in the beat as though she is a part of a step dancing competition.
No training, just an incredible instinct! It simply comes natural to her. It’s obvious she’s going to love the traditional dance.
Make sure you check the way she does it, and pass it to someone who is into good Irish tune. She will melt your heart.
