We’ve yet to see the musical Wicked but every one of us can sing ‘Popular’ pretty much word for word. It’s the perfect silly cheer up song as you can see in this video– a night where Mary was overwhelmed with homework and Hans took over her dish duties. It’s nothing much (and you’ll see my shaky camera skills), just a little slice of happiness.

I love this so much.

Read this at the time when I really needed a reality check. Getting swallowed up with the numbers game and needing validation – when really, I don’t. Thank you.

Came here from Alison, whose taste I always trust. This post should be sent in to BlogHer.
It’s what most people need to hear, because sometimes, they forget what is so important. really, you would be starting a quiet revolution.

Oh Michelle, lovely words as always. “Popularity Pox” seems to sum this trend up so well, and can we hope it is just a trend, and that someday we shall return to some semblance of ‘normalcy’?
My time is better spent helping a friend who needs me, rather than writing my next blog post or putting together a Pinterest board. Not that I can’t make time for those things too, if that is something I wish to do for me, or that makes me happy, but lately I just choose not to. Real people make me happier than anything on my computer screen.

I love seeing your son do the dishes, and so competently too! It really shows off his muscles 😉

I like the idea of turning to God and service for others to increase self esteem. Thank you for this nugget of wisdom! I always enjoy your thoughts.
