    Oh Suzelle! Thank you for being brave and admitting the tears! I have them too and thought I was just being overly sensative and pms stricken lol.

    I didn't know what the heck a flash mob was till my son, who is a camera man, was one of the cameras hired to film a flash mob in Vancouver. I had the same reaction when it was shown on the late news...so unexpected, and warming.

    Best,
    Michelle

    Amazing! Makes me want to dance... and love... and laugh. That song is so moving. I would have loved to have seen the flash mob dance. I'm sure that's something those lucky people who saw it won't forget. I also took a look at "I Believe She's Amazing"... what a great story!

    I love those videos....this one brought me to tears because I had just read your comment on people loving each other. The whole wide world would be better if we could all just sing, dance and love each other a little more....it really isn't that hard! Thanks for sharing.

    I love that you posted this-definitely moving and I love seeing people so positively affected. :)

    Too funny-Before moving to FL, I used to work in the tower attached to the Eaton Center for a few years. Strolling that mall during lunchtmime was a regular ritual, the video helped remind me of my home-Toronto which made me smile even bigger.

    Oh my gosh, I just can't even explain this, but I was totally bawling as I watched this- and it was exactly what I needed. It released a big joy bubble right in my heart today that was trapped or something. Loved it.

    What an amazing video. It made me want to get up and join them. And at the end when they showed their pictures...so neat! Very inspirational. It just shows how one simple act from one person can snowball and affect others in the process along the way. Love & blessings from NC!

    Hey Layla, my sweet friend! That just made me cry.......I think because it made me think what the whole world could be if we all became like that group of ladies and just became one group in harmony. What a neat video, thanks for sharing. :)
