Click here to find out what's been inspiring me all this week. Susan Boyle is a quirky Scottish lady who wants to be a singer. She got onto a British TV show called Britain's Got Talent (similar to American Idol). Everyone was laughing at her from the moment she walked on stage. She looked like a sad, single, cat-lady who shouldn't dream past the church choir. But when she opened her mouth to sing...wow. Which reminds me--no matter how much I don't think I should be a writer, or how little faith I have in my chances...I should still try. Maybe I can have an auditorium of screaming fans like that, too.
