✯ André Rieu - O Fortuna....✯ Music Video
www.youtube.com/watch?v=EJC-_j3S...

This video summing up 2020 has left netizens across the world praising it.......
There’s unlikely to be a year like 2020 any time soon and a video that compiles footage from some of the biggest global events is being praised on social media. The video features music composed and edited by Cee-Roo, an EDM artiste from Switzerland, and features a montage of visuals from events around the world. So there’s footage of the pandemic, the Black Lives Matter protests, the US elections, the Beirut blast, the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict and the death of sporting stars like Kobe Bryant and Diego Maradona.

However, the video ends on an optimistic note with footage of frontline workers receiving applause, Joe Biden’s electoral victory, and police officials taking a knee during the Black Lives Matter protests.

We are not going to forget this year any time soon!

Brilliant...Every human on this planet should watch this video just to remember we all belong to humanity and we need to be respectful and unite to build a better world.

🔸 This Day In History........August 15th 1969
*On August 15, 1969, the Woodstock music festival opens on a patch of farmland in White Lake, a hamlet in the upstate New York town of Bethel. Promoters John Roberts, Joel Rosenman, Artie Kornfield and Michael Lang originally envisioned the festival as a way to raise funds to build a recording studio and rock-and-roll retreat near the town of Woodstock, New York. The longtime artists’ colony was already a home base for Bob Dylan and other musicians. Despite their relative inexperience, the young promoters managed to sign a roster of top acts, including the Jefferson Airplane, the Who, the Grateful Dead, Sly and the Family Stone, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, Creedence Clearwater Revival and many more.



... *Half a million people waited on a dairy farm in Bethel, New York, for the three-day music festival to start. Billed as An Aquarian Experience 3 Days of Peace and Music, the epic event would later be known simply as Woodstock and become synonymous with the counterculture movement of the 1960s. Woodstock was a success.

*But the massive concert didn’t come off without a hitch Last-minute venue changes, bad weather and the hordes of attendees caused major headaches. Still, despite—or because of—a lot of sex, drugs, rock ‘n’ roll and rain, Woodstock was a peaceful celebration and earned its hallowed place in pop culture history.
🔸 Hope you are well...Enjoy the weekend and always stay safe.

.....American Artist - Painter.......*Heather Theurer
Some stories begin on well-defined roads or with billboard accomplishments. But the story of an artist usually begins somewhere less noticeable, perhaps even unrecognizable to most. It is just such a beginning that gave life to the art of creator, Heather Theurer.

Although she was not able to obtain a formal education in art, all her studies of the natural world in addition to the works of great artists including the renaissance masters, the pre-raphaelites of the late 19th century and modern masters have influenced her work in a way she couldn’t imagine getting in a classroom.

... Her process in painting is constantly morphing as she applies new techniques, but most often consist of a multitude layers of paint and glazes as many as 20 or so in some cases, to reach the desired depth and detail that dominates her work.
Heather's paintings are constructed in the midst of a bustling family with five children in Las Vegas, Nevada. And although that poses a multitude of challenges of its own, her art has gone on to get the attention of USA Today, the LA Times and received recognition and awards from respected organizations such as Art Renewal Center, Artist's Magazine and Spectrum, among others.
Sending well wishes and plenty of sunshine your way to brighten up your day. Remember to keep your head up high and a smile on your face.....Wishing you well......Stay safe my friend.

Biringan City is a place that is said to be invisibly. It is truly famous but it only appears
to the eyes of selected people.Is this city truly invisible, or could it be a portal to the realm of *Engkanto...*Enchanted beings* This one is probably a place you don’t want to travel, but if you are looking for an epic adventure Biringan is the perfect place. But there is no guarantee that you can get out of this place.It is said that Biringan City lie between Gandara, Tarangan and Pagsanha in Samar province of the Philippines.The name *Biringan*itself, translates,a place to look for missing people.

... ★ Because of fear of retribution from the inhabitants of the lost city, the local only talk about it in hushed whispers. The city is inhabited by supernatural beings, it said that the engkantos are shapechangers who can transform as human or animal, without philtrum, a vertical groove between the nose and the upper lip, they are more terrifying.
★ Those who have seen this mythical city have said that there are many buildings, but it more looks like cathedral buildings. It is described as dazzling city of light with high and magnificent structures equipped with advanced technology by some ships that passed by. According to the story anyone who have seen this city had been victims of demon possessions.In some case small number of bus drivers blamed the engkanto for being lost to Biringan City. They said that engkantos controls their mind to take the path of Biringan. And they found themselves lost.
★ No one knows where the Biringan exactly lies; no one can ever tell how to go there. It will only show to the ones who really believe. We can’t deny the similarity of the stories of the people who claims to witness the mystery of Biringan City. If it doesn’t tickle your thought when you’re awake, it will surely visit your imagination while you sleep.

True Story.............*A Family Tradition....................By Author-Joseph M. Mazzella

✯ It was mid-October when I first spotted them.They were the first Christmas decorations of the year. It was the beginning of the 10 week period when the stores do all they can to get us to buy all we can. It was the great Christmas shopping rush and the bigger the gifts the better. I shook my head sadly and walked on, but then a wonderful memory came back into my mind. It was late-December from several years earlier. I was shopping alone trying to pick up some thick Winter socks to warm my frozen feet. As I rounded the corner in the store I saw a Christmas tree full of paper angels. On each angel was the name of a needy child whose family couldn’t afford to buy them a gift that year. Shoppers who picked an angel could buy a simple toy or gift and the store would wrap it and send it to the child that Christmas. Around the tree I saw a teenage boy and girl picking out several angels apiece. Their mother was smiling while she watched them. I walked up next to her and started talking with her. She told me that her children started this several years ago when she first explained to them what the Charity Angel tree was for. Each offered to give up one of their toys that year so that a needy child could have one. It didn’t stop then, though. Each year since the kids had saved money they earned throughout the year and bought more and more children the gifts they wouldn’t have otherwise. It had become a family tradition. I smiled when she finished, walked over to the tree, and picked out a few angels too. I left the store feeling in touch with the true meaning of Christmas.
... ✯ May we always remember that life is not about the money you have or the things you own. Life is about the love you share and the people you help. And may we also see that it is never too late to start a family tradition

Lonely Grandma Posts Touching Craigslist Ad Searching For Christmas Family
✯ The listing comes from a woman who lives in Tulsa. She claims she has no family and would really like to be a part of one this Christmas...Sadly, the woman removed the post after receiving hateful messages. However, that hate is fueling a love-filled search to find the woman and make her Christmas one to remember. An Oklahoma man named Carson Carlock decided to try and find the woman by posting her ad on Facebook. His post has been shared more than 6,000 times and eventually reached the local news. Carson said he did get in touch with her before she deleted the post but all he knows is her name is Carrie. Hopefully Grandma Carrie will see the news because dozens of people have offered to open their homes to her this Christmas while hundreds of others are hoping for an address to send her a Christmas card.

Have a wonderful weekend.........Be well.
