SUPER STAR OR SUPER HAPPY

I found this article over at MJS about Michael Grimm, 2010 AGT winner. It keeps the fame thing in perspective & is a good read:

Here is one of Michael's AGT performances. I picked this one because I love this song, sorry about the AGT intro..

^^Nice find (the article), Cherelann! It really does boil down to what the performer really is looking for in terms of success, doesn't it?

"Let's Stay Together" is one of "those" songs, that almost everyone living now connects with -- Michael Grimm performed a wonderful rendition! Thanks for adding that, "Sweet C."

MAE thanks for taking the time to read it. This is why I will always think of Haley as a great success no matter how many albums she sells. Do to poor planning & health issues I went from a 6 figure income to social security & I can honestly say I am the happiest I have ever been in my life,

Cherelann, thanks for finding and posting it. While I read it, actually I thought far more of Crystal Bowersox than Haley (I think Haley's idea of success extends beyond Crystal's, although [and, -- umm, gulp, yes, I'm going to go there -- Crystal doesn't need other people to help her "write" her songs] they both seem to share a common desire to ensure their family's lives are comfortable and happy.. How each of them defines "family" may be quite different.)

I'm not sure how to respond to your trials and tribulations (and I do appreciate your candor) except with sympathy although I don't think that you are asking for that, but rather just to share that there is a better way of perceiving things.

You are a remarkable woman, Cherelann!

I new there was something about Sweet C that was solid gold beneath the surface. LOL, I'm on the same plan...however, even worse planning because I went from the big salary to no income premature of social security...basically limping home, but with two new artificial knees

Yes, there is a book that states..."whoever loves wealth is never satisfied with his income." Having less makes one thankful and appreciative of the real treasures in life...

Thanks Sweet C for sharing this.

Sir Buzz, Sweet C speaks wisdom that we can all learn from.

Advertising has been brainwashing us for a hundred years to believe that "more stuff" makes us happy & successful. Our country would be in a much better place if we downsized & quit buying into the hype...I am grateful for the freedom to be able to blog hop & contemplate my navel.

It is heartwarming that haleyfans.com has brought together such a diverse group of people. You are all amazing!!
