My dear friend Mona Atkinson posted this video on FaceBook today with the caption,

“I guarantee you will be crying before this is over.”

Mona was 100% correct & I felt the need to share this amazing gift

with my entire Kimberanna.com family.

Thank you Mona for bringing this amazing footage into my life,

it has touched me & given me renewed hope.

Watching a child that had to overcome so much, create such beauty is just breath taking.

“I am constantly reminded that GOD does love ALL his children…”

Sometimes when I drive out of town I like to hit the SEARCH button on my radio just to see “what comes up…” Tonight on my drive to Tampa I was kinda in a COUNTRY mood so I fell in LOVE w/Lady Antebellum’s “Need You Now.”  Maybe it’s because it’s my BFF Marty’s birthday week or maybe it’s the pouring rain but this song just really touched me.

Check it out & I’m sure you’ll like it too, even if you hate country:D

Lady Antebellum, “Need You Now” Lyrics:

Picture perfect memories scattered all around the floor
Reachin’ for the phone ‘cause I can’t fight it anymore
And I wonder if I ever cross your mind
For me it happens all the time

It’s a quarter after one
I’m all alone
And I need you now
Said I wouldn’t call
But I’ve lost all control
And I need you now
And I don’t know how I can do without
I just need you now

Another shot of whiskey, can’t stop looking at the door
Wishing you’d come sweeping in the way you did before
And I wonder if I ever cross your mind
For me it happens all the time

It’s a quarter after one
I’m a little drunk
And I need you now
Said I wouldn’t call
But I’ve lost all control
And I need you now
And I don’t know how I can do without
I just need you now

Yes I’d rather hurt than feel nothing at all

It’s a quarter after one
I’m all alone
And I need you now

And I said I wouldn’t call,
But I’m a little drunk
And I need you now

And I don’t know how I can do without
I just need you now

I just need you now

Oh baby I need you now

—Douglas Everett

Miley Cyrus, The Climb

I can almost see it
That dream I’m dreaming but
There’s a voice inside my head sayin,
You’ll never reach it,
Every step I’m taking,
Every move I make feels
Lost with no direction
My faith is shaking but I
Got to keep trying
Got to keep my head held high

There’s always going to be another mountain
I’m always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes you going to have to lose,
Ain’t about how fast I get there,
Ain’t about what’s waiting on the other side
It’s the climb

The struggles I’m facing,
The chances I’m taking
Sometimes they knock me down but
No I’m not breaking
The pain I’m knowing
But these are the moments that
I’m going to remember most yeah
Just got to keep going
And I,
I got to be strong
Just keep pushing on,

There’s always going to be another mountain
I’m always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes you going to have to lose,
Ain’t about how fast I get there,
Ain’t about what’s waiting on the other side
It’s the climb

There’s always going to be another mountain
I’m always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes you going to have to lose,
Ain’t about how fast I get there,
Ain’t about what’s waiting on the other side
It’s the climb

Keep on moving
Keep climbing
Keep the faith baby
It’s all about
It’s all about
The climb
Keep the faith
Keep your faith

Anyone can carry his burden, however hard, until nightfall.

Anyone can do his work, however hard, for one day.

Anyone can live sweetly, patiently, lovingly, purely, till the sun goes down.

And this is all life really means. ~Robert Louis Stevenson

“When LIFE throws STONES…PICK them up & USE them to

BUILD a STRONGER FOUNDATION.” ~Kim Johnson

Some days it’s hard to even get out of bed in the morning… but then I hear my son moving around getting ready for another BIG school day.

I remember what I have waiting for me on the other side of that door, my hopes & dreams for a better future all wrapped up in one small boy. (Well not quite that small but always my baby)

I plaster my best “WINNING SMILE” on my face & prepare to be the BEST PERSON I can be for myself & for my family.

Knowing I have their LOVE to come home to, makes me want to JUMP out of bed & move mountains just to see them SMILE.

Here’s a little COLDPLAY,  “Green Eyes.”

This song always make me think of the the one I LOVE.

*MyST

ColdPlay: Green Eyes

Honey you are a rock
Upon which I stand
And I come here to talk
I hope you understand

That green eyes, yeah the spotlight, shines upon you
And how could, anybody, deny you

I came here with a load
And it feels so much lighter, now I’ve met you
And honey you should know, that I could never go on without you

Green eyes

Honey you are the sea
Upon which I float
And I came here to talk
I think you should know

That green eyes, you’re the one that I wanted to find
And anyone who, tried to deny you must be out of their mind

Cause I came here with a load
And it feels so much lighter, since I met you
Honey you should know, that I could never go on without you

Green eyes
Green eyes

Ohohohohooooo
Ohohohohooooo

Ohohohohooooo
Ohohohohooooo

Honey you are a rock
Upon which I stand

This is one of my new favorite songs…Blah, Blah, Blah by Kesha

I love watching super SMART future directors at work. Here is a VIDEO by a couple of kids that have SKILLS…is your child a future Tim Burton??? Maybe you should ask him or better yet Google him!

Blah blah blah: Kesha

LYRICS

Coming out your mouth with your blah blah blah
Just zip your lips like a padlock
And meet me at the back with the jack and the jukebox
I don’t really care where you live at
Just turn around boy and let me hit that
Don’t be a little bitch with your chit chat
Just show me where your dick’s at

Music’s up
Listen hot stuff
I’m in love
With this song
So just hush
Baby shut up
Heard enough

Stop ta-ta-talking that
Blah blah blah
Think you’ll be getting this
Nah nah nah
Not in the back of my
Car-ar-ar
If you keep talking that
Blah blah blah blah blah

Boy come on get your rocks off
Come put a little love in my glove box
I wanna dance with no pants on, holla
Meet me in the back with the jack and the jukebox
So cut to the chase kid
‘Cause I know you don’t care what my middle name is
I wanna be naked
But your wasted

Music’s up
Listen hot stuff
I’m in love
With this song
So just hush
Baby shut up
Heard enough

Stop ta-ta-talking that
Blah blah blah
Think you’ll be getting this
Nah nah nah
Not in the back of my
Car-ar-ar
If you keep talking that
Blah blah blah blah blah

You be delaying, you always sayin’ some shit
You say I’m playin’ I’m never layin this di…
Sayin blah blah blah cause I don’t care who you are
In this bar it only matters who I am

Stop ta-ta-talking that
Blah blah blah
Think you’ll be getting this
Nah nah nah
Not in the back of my
Car-ar-ar
If you keep talking that
Blah blah blah blah blah

Blah blah blah
Think you’ll be getting this
Nah nah nah
Not in the back of my
Car-ar-ar
If you keep talking that
Blah blah blah blah blah
Ohh
Blah Blah Blah
Stop talking
Stop ta-ta-talking that

“Hey, Soul Sista…” has brought the band back to the MUSIC world like a FREIGHT TRAIN!

I know it’s CRAZY to think you can meet a SOUL SISTER or BFF via FaceBook, Twitter or Social Networking but…doh, COUPLES have been hooking up 4 years on Match.com, E-Harmony, etc. Why shouldn’t we be able to find soul sisters on-line too.*Giggles

“I’ve met girls who “just happen” to have dated the same guy but the reason we met is because we are a lot alike!!! Ding, Ding…guys have types & obviously the girls he dates have common interests, etc. Girlfriends are 4-ever, boyfriends come & go;) The GREAT ones know girlfriends are an occupational hazard!”

I work a LOT & find it hard to meet new people who are “just like me!” On-line I can connect w/people instantly & KNOW they are “who they say they are,” because I see pics of their friends & family, read links they read, know what makes their day & what makes them cry…it’s REALITY TV community edition.

ANYWHO…LOVE, Love, love this song & hope you do too. I think these girls are FIERCE for being who they are & ROCKING it out like this.

Hey, Soul Sister: TRAIN

LYRICS

Heeey, Heeeeey, Heeeeeey.

Your lipstick stains, on the front lobe of my left side brains,
I knew I wouldn’t forget ya, and so I went and let you blow my mind.

Your sweet moon-beam, the smell of you in every single dream I dream.
I knew when we collided, you’re the one I have decided,
Who’s one of my kind.

Hey, Soul Sister, ain’t that mister mister on the radio, stereo,
The way you move ain’t fair you know.
Hey, Soul Sister, I don’t wanna miss a single thing you dooooo…
Tonight.

Heeey Heeeeey Heeeeeey…

Just in time, I´m so glad you have a one-track mind like me.
You gave my life direction,
A game show love connection, we can’t deny…

I´m so obsessed, my heart is bound to beat right out my untrimmed chest.
I believe in you, like a virgin you’re Madonna,
And I’m always gonna wanna blow your mind…

Hey, Soul Sister, ain’t that mister mister on the radio, stereo,
The way you move ain’t fair you know.
Hey, Soul Sister, I don’t wanna miss a single thing you dooooo…
Tonight,

Way you can cut a rug,
Watching you’s the only drug I need.
So gangster, I’m so thug,
You’re the only one I’m dreaming of you see.
I can be myself now finally,
In fact there’s nothing I can’t be,
I want the world to see you be, with me,

Hey, Soul Sister, ain’t that mister mister on the radio, stereo,
The way you move ain’t fair you know.
Hey, Soul Sister, I don’t wanna miss a single thing you do tonight…

Hey, Soul Sister, I don’t wanna miss a single thing you dooooo…
Tonight.
Heeey, Heeeeey, Heeeeeey, tonight.
Heeey, Heeeeey, Heeeeeey.
Tonight.

TIARA: Tough Intelligent And Readily Able

THANK YOU: Cheryl, Terry, Eileen, Barbara, Debbie, Diane, Georgie, Brenda & Bill my RPAC posse 4 make my life so SWEET!!!! Love ya all:D >hugs<

ATTENTION: Work  from home MOMS…here’s a GREAT way to ENTERTAIN the kids &

TEACH teach them how to BAKE!

Thank goodness for STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE!

“Oh…and if you want them to LEARN TO READ:”

GO to You TUBE: Click –>http://www.youtube.com/

Type in “LYRICS” & title of their FAVORITE SONG into the SEARCH BOX.

HELPFUL TIPS

1.) Play it on FULL SCREEN by clicking the EXPAND button (usually on TOP LEFT).

2.) Hand them a SALAD SPOON & tell them they are trying out for American Idol!

My nieces LOVE it & once they figured out it’s easier to KNOW the WORDS if they LEARN TO CHEAT…(by READING them off the computer screen:D

*Giggles…kids LOVE 2 LEARN 2 CHEAT!!! >wink<

Tell me if it works…remember you MUST pick a song the kids LOVE, DJ picked “Romeo & Juliet” song by Taylor Swift.

HOWEVER, IF THERE IS ONE FLAW IN WOMEN,

IT IS THAT THEY FORGET THEIR WORTH.

“…and SOMEDAY I KNOW IT WILL ALL TURN OUT.”

I’m Not Surprised
Not Everything Lasts
I’ve Broken My Heart So Many Times,
I Stop Keeping Track.
Talk Myself In
I Talk Myself Out
I Get All Worked Up
And Then I Let Myself Down.

I Tried So Very Hard Not To Loose It
I Came Up With A Million Excuses
I Thought I Thought Of Every Possibility

And I Know Someday That It’ll All Turn Out
You’ll Make Me Work So We Can Work To Work It Out
And I Promise You Kid That I’ll Give So Much More Than I Get
I Just Haven’t Met You Yet

Mmmmm ….

I Might Have To Wait
I’ll Never Give Up
I Guess It’s Half Timing
And The Other Half’s Luck
Wherever You Are
Whenever It’s Right
You Come Out Of Nowhere And Into My Life

And I Know That We Can Be So Amazing
And Baby Your Love Is Gonna Change Me
And Now I Can See Every Possibility

Mmmmm ……

And Somehow I Know That It Will All Turn Out
And You’ll Make Me Work So We Can Work To Work It Out
And I Promise You Kid I’ll Give So Much More Than I Get
I Just Haven’t Met You Yet

They Say All’s Fair
And In Love And War
But I Won’t Need To Fight It
We’ll Get It Right
And We’ll Be United

And I Know That We Can Be So Amazing
And Being In Your Life Is Gonna Change Me
And Now I Can See Every Single Possibility

Mmmm …..

And Someday I Know It’ll All Turn Out
And I’ll Work To Work It Out
Promise You Kid I’ll Give More Than I Get
Than I Get Than I Get Than I Get

Oh You Know It’ll All Turn Out
And You’ll Make Me Work So We Can Work To Work It Out
And I Promise You Kid To Give So Much More Than I Get
Yeah I Just Haven’t Met You Yet

I Just Haven’t Met You Yet
Oh Promise You Kid
To Give So Much More Than I Get

I Said Love Love Love Love Love Love Love …..
I Just Haven’t Met You Yet
Love Love Love …..
I Just Haven’t Met You Yet

Not sure where good ole John is going with this song…but you have to admit, it’s got a wicked hook!

Lovin’ life and MUSIC MONDAY!

John Mayer “Who says”

Who says I can’t get stoned
Turn off the lights and the telephone
Me in my house alone
Who says I can’t get stoned

Who says I can’t be free
From all of the things that I used to be
Rewrite my history
Who says I can’t be free

It’s been a long night in New York City
It’s been a long night in Baton Rouge
I don’t remember you looking any better
But then again I don’t remember you

Who says I can’t get stoned
Call up a girl that I used to know
Fake love for an hour or so
Who says I can’t get stoned

Who says I can’t take time
Meet all the girls in the county line
Wait on fate to send a sign
Who says I can’t take time

It’s been a long night in New York City
It’s been a long night in Austin too
I don’t remember you looking any better
But then again I don’t remember you

Who says I can’t get stoned
Plan a trip to Japan alone
Doesn’t matter if I even go
Who says I can’t get stoned

It’s been a long night in New York City
It’s been a long time since 22
I don’t remember you looking any better
But then again I don’t remember, don’t remember you
