This Weeks Inspiration: Lys Agnes ft Cai Tingyu


(Cai Tingyu)

(Lys Agnes)

If you haven't been watching America's Got Talent, I must mention a beautiful singer named Lys Agnes. Lys is right up my alley because she defeats the stigma for the word "how." How an opera singer looks? How an opera singer will sing? She changes everything! Nothing fill my little heart with more content than seeing someone who steps outside the expected image or lifestyle, like seeing a Cellist with tattoos, a heavy-set model, or a roller derby playing nurse. In my opinion people like Lys Agnes makes this world a better more colorful place to live!
This last week she covered "Bring Me To Life" by Evanescence. In a way Lys reminds me Cai Tingyu ( A beautiful Chinese singer who has also covered "Habenera" from the popular opera Carmen, with a twist!) Both women are beautiful, strong, inspirational people. Yes, I am an opera fan! I allways try to explain to people that opera can be different and entertaining but of course if you are not a fan it is like talking to a brick wall (yeah, we are all intitled to an opinion >.>)
Agnes sticks to the original sound but adds a different setting. When Cai changes the sound, look and feel of opera!

This Weeks Inspiration: Keri Smith

This weeks inspiration is Artist/Write ,Keri Smith. Highly noted for her books "Wreck This Book," "This is not a Book," and "Mess."

I am a huge fan of her books , in fact I am getting her box-set very soon! Her books have helped change my life and the way I view it. Before I discovered Smith's books it was very difficult for me to let go and have fun without feeling insecure.
Her books are different from anything I have ever seen.

"Wreck This Book" allows you to tare up the book in hundreds of exciting ways. Practice this book with your kids, friends or even by yourself. (This helped my with letting go and having fun.)

"This is not a Book" Helps you to release your inner child, think outside the box, color outside the lines, and step out of your comfort zone.

"Mess" breaks you from every perfect thing you have had drilled in your head. Well, guess what! No more making things perfect, no more fear of making a mess, no more fear of self.

One more thing I need to add is that this book is a great deal of therapy for the restless soul.
