I was watching America’s Got Talent on TV last night. I normally don’t like reality type TV shows, and don’t watch a lot of TV as it is. But, I thought I would take a look because of the amazing stuff I’ve seen on YouTube from Britain’s Got Talent.

And, you know, I really got hooked! I laughed a lot. There were some pretty stupid performances (if you can call them that!), and some pretty horrific ones. I cried - some were so inspiring and sweet. I was awed! That little kids can have such amazing talent. That a young mother could have such a powerful voice after surviving cancer. That a 75 year old grandmother could get up in front of the crowd with a stand up comedy routine that had the crowd in stitches!

“Grandma Lee” summed it all up when she told the judges “You’ve gotta live your dream!”

And, I am so totally in awe of the courage of those everyday folk that put it all out there for everyone to see as they took action to live their dream. I’m not sure I could be that brave.
