Inspirations


From Frog to Prince in a Blink

Paul Potts, a regular guy from Wales, became an overnight sensation when he overcame his shyness just long enough to sing a goosebumping performance of Puccini’s Nessun Dorma on Simon Cowell’s television show, “Britain’s Got Talent.”  It’s surprising blessings like this that make me want to be a better human being. 

Watch the performance, and see if you are moved:

  1. I am an adult learner, went back to school to learn Dreamweaver when Ii was 70. Then learned iWeb. Now I am creating a course in the history of art around the world online. You can find the site at ahaafoundation.org

    It is under construction and I am looking for collaborators.

    Last night I used the website to teach at a school in Pakistan! We used Skype and they could see me on the little camera on my computer. We looked at the art of Cederberg, Africa because I thought they would like looking at elephants with their babies.

    Folks, please explore the website and let me know if you enjoy it.

      • Susan, the site name is arthistoryworlds.org and the design is much better. I would like to work with you in any way that you want. What do you teach?
        Let me know what you think of the new site and what might happen if we could collaborate.

        Surgery and other stuff have slowed me down and I will pick up speed soon.
