If you ask me it is an important purpose of ours as human beings to help others...however big or small. Nothing touches me more than seeing people's dreams come true..its so powerful, so inspiring. Inspiration is all around us and Ellen is someone who really inspires me..she is always bringing love and light to people less fortunate and her random acts of kindness always make me cry! Her surprise on her show today was for a girl who didn't make the final 24 on American Idol...Angela Martin. Angela has an amazing voice and has certainly been through alot. Her Dad was shot by her step Mum, her daughter is disabled and her real Mum has gone missing. She's tried out for Idol 3 times and has never made it to the final 24 and now that she is 28 she can't try out again but still she stays positive and never stops believing that things are going to get better&that she will get her dream of being a singer. Never! Well today her belief&faith payed off! Watch the video to see what happens...there are longer videos on youtube if you want to see the full Ellen interview with Angela. She is such an amazing woman

Now you may not have the power to perform world scale acts like Ellen but what randon act of kindness could you perform today and for who? You never know they might have just as much impact. Find the time to talk to a lonely old person that lives in your street, give someone a compliment, smile at someone who looks sad, give a homeless person a coin...Seriously it feels so good to give love and support and the Universe notices...think about something you could do..not just today but everyday and notice the nice acts that will bestowed upon you! Even if it's just happiness in your heart...that sounds like enough to me!
