What’s Your Inner Smile?

Turandot is an opera in three acts by Giacomo Puccini, completed by Franco Alfano, and set to a libretto in Italian by Giuseppe Adami and Renato Simoni. “We who lived in concentration camps can remember the men who walked through the huts comforting others, giving away their last piece of bread. They may have been few in number, but they offer sufficient proof that everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms–to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances….” ~Victor Frankl “The most powerful weapon on earth is the human soul on fire.” ~Ferdinand Foch “Just to be is a blessing. Just to live is holy.” ~Rabbi Abraham Herschel

And, being a brown-eyed girl myself, makes me fond of it, too. 😉 Enjoy your Tuesday! “Do you remember when we used to sing Sha la la la […]

Y’all knew it wouldn’t be long until the disco ball showed up again. 😉 Today’s tune is a fun twist on Aretha Franklin’s classic, “Respect.” Singing this version of the iconic song is Melanie Amaro, a Virgin Islander-American, born in Fort Lauderdale, Florida in 1992. Amaro grew up singing gospel music in her church and went on to win […]
