Dream Big

I had a very Ellen Degeneres-filled week. After watching her E True Hollywood story yesterday, I was so inspired by the woman’s moxy, will to succeed, and pure talent to make America laugh.  She is an example that even in the darkest of times, you don’t give up. You just don’t. You keep being yourself and you keep spreading the love.

Today, I sporadically switched to her afternoon show (possibly itching to catch more of her after being so inspired by her the day before) and lo and behold! To my surprise, there she was featuring one of my sister’s friends, Joseph Vincent (I just call him Joe ’cause I’m cool with him like that) on the show! 

Not only was it a joy to watch the talented Joe perform on Ellen, watch Ellen wrap her arms around him (who doesn’t want a hug from Ellen?), but it was a special treat to find out that he had just won ten freaking thousand dollars as part of some Youtube talent search thing! You can all watch Joe hit the jackpot here.

Dream on, kids. And dream big. As you sit in your cubicles or behind your desk, wishing you were doing something else, don’t forgot that you can. Start now.  And for those of you who are already trying to make your dreams come true, keep at it.  You’ll never regret it. Never. 

Congrats, Joe! Say hi to Anthony for me! (And uh, remember that time you said you were going to treat Jessica and I to a lobster dinner? I’m kind of hungry…)
