Once a week, I post a video I’ve seen recently that I’m loving. So here’s this week’s Video I love …
A man named Philip once fought for the country he loves. Now, he fights for equal rights for one of his four sons. It’s a beautiful speech. If you haven’t seen it yet, please take a moment to watch.

“The woman at my polling place asked me do I believe in equality for gay and lesbian people. I was pretty surprised to be asked a question like that. It made no sense to me. Finally I asked her, ‘What do you think I fought for in Omaha Beach?'”
Philip Spooner, an 86 year old WWII veteran
Now, that’s a hero.

This week’s video is a fun one. I could see some of the people I used to work with doing this. Especially when we worked in a small cubicle-filled room that no one ever visited, or even walked by. We had some good times in that room. And that’s all I’m going to say on the subject for fear of incriminating myself.
I do have to wonder if I would have been the woman just sitting there or one of the others actually goofing off? I would like to think I’d be having a ball and not worrying about my work, but I’ve been told I’m a worker bee and I tend to be focused on getting things done. Darn. Well, at least I was pretty wild in my younger days. Now, I sit in front of my laptop most of the time. Good thing I spend a lot of it using my imagination.
I’d love to hear from others. Watch the video and tell me…Would you be one of the singers or the woman answering her phone?

This video is good stuff. It’s the kind of thing that reinforces that there’s still kindness and love in the world. I must admit I was crying like a baby when I watched it the first time. They gave up the shutout so he could score a touchdown. How cool is that? I’d like to believe the kids on the other team were in on the decision. It’s not always about getting the most points, but rather being the best you can. And in this case, their best was to let this kid have his moment. Anyway, I loved this video.

If you haven’t seen this one yet, you have to watch it. It’s a four-year-old boy’s priceless reenactment of the pivotal speech from Coach Herb Brooks (played by Kurt Russell) in the movie “Miracle” — which is one of my three favorite sports movies of all time, alongside “Rudy” and “We Are Marshall.”
I like movies that inspire people to achieve their dreams. Because dreams do come true. And if you believe anything else, you probably won’t ever see your own dreams happen any time soon. I believe in positive thinking and working hard for what you want most. Writing isn’t easy. A long-term relationship isn’t easy. Hell, love isn’t easy. But, for me, they are worth it. I wrote my first book and entered it into a local writing contest when I was in the second grade. It didn’t win, but it started something for me — it began a dream of writing fiction. And now … my first book is getting published in February.
If I or anyone else doubts my writing abilities, I’ll just say it like the kid … “screw ’em” and keep on writing. :)

I love this ad. It’s one of the better marriage rights ads around. I just hope it makes a difference.
I’d to like to send my best wishes to all the gay and lesbian couples in Ireland as they fight for marriage equality. View more on the MarriagEquality’s campaign for same-sex marriage in Ireland at http://www.marriagequality.ie/
What do you think? Isn’t it lovely? Comment or send me an email.
