Back in the Day: This I Promise You and Music Of My Heart from N’Sync
Today I’m working on a wedding website for a client and reminiscing on one of my favorite old school N’Sync songs “This I Promise You” (which is one of the signature songs of the couple. True love is forever and beautiful:)
While searching for that video on Youtube I came across another one of my favorite songs from the ’90s – when some music was actually moving and had substance:)
Words of Inspiration From Walt Disney on Creativity, Dreams and Business
One of my inspirations in creativity, entrepreneurship and of course dreams is Walt Disney. Here are some words of inspiration from the man who has moved so many of us to imagine and smile around the world:
“If you can dream it, you can do it.”
“We keep moving forward, opening new doors, and doing new things, because we’re curious and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.”
“You can design and create, and build the most wonderful place in the world. But it takes people to make the dream a reality.”
“You reach a point where you don’t work for money.”
“All the adversity I’ve had in my life, all my troubles and obstacles, have strengthened me… You may not realize it when it happens, but a kick in the teeth may be the best thing in the world for you.”
“A man should never neglect his family for business.”
“All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them.”
– Walt Disney

HeartBlooms: Don’t Count Yourself Out
You may not look the part, people may look and pass over you, and your past may “disqualify” you – but don’t count yourself out! God loves you, and loves to choose the least likely ones to do great works and make a difference! (Why do you think the “underdog” plot is so popular?:).
Despite what you’ve been through He’s tapped you into the game; play boldly knowing He wants you to win. – Julene
Dreamer ENT Inspiration: Keke Palmer on Discovering Your True Passion
On my youth site DreamerENT.com I posted this inspiration interview featuring the talented Keke Palmer, who you may know as a singer and actress in movies like her most recent one Joyful Noise (which I’m looking forward to seeing), Shrink, The Longshots, and Akeelah and the Bee (one of my favorites, though she’s definitely matured into other roles that have allowed her to stretch and grow).
I love how Keke’s roles and music are relatable and positive and how far she’s come since her early acting days. She’s one of my favorite actresses and I even was inspired by her advice in this interview to break through my fear of others’ opinions and start taking acting classes.
Through my work at the Valder Beebe Show I sent in questions for Keke to answer to give advice to young people on following their dreams. Here’s what she had to say below (part of a longer interview segment I was able to produce):
You may know her best from her role on the hit Nickelodeon show True Jackson V.P. about a teen girl who becomes a vice president at a billion dollar fashion company (talk about dreaming big:).
Keke has starred in numerous movie roles including movies like Shrink, The Longshots, Madeas’s Family Reunion, The Wool Cap and Jump In. She also stole our hearts and had us cheering for her character, the sassy Akeelah Anderson in the inspiring movie Akeelah and the Bee, opposite actor Laurence Fishburne and Angela Bassett. Her energetic and upbeat personality and truly natural talents, spanning film, television, and music alike, have made her one of the fastest rising young stars in entertainment today. She started pursuing her dreams of singing and acting at a young age, and her hard work and determination has really paid off!
Our media partner The Valder Beebe Show chatted with Keke about the advice she would give to young people on following their dreams. Read and listen to what she had to say:
Q: You found out and pursued what you love to do at a young age. What advice would you give young people on finding their passions and following their dreams?
