Playing For Change

“If the sky that we look upon should tumble and fall

and the mountains should crumble to the sea

I won’t cry, I won’t cry, no I won’t shed a tear

Just as long as you stand, stand by me”

I love this video and wanted to share it around. It reminds me of the times I have spent wandering down Third St Promenade in Santa Monica, L.A, listening to the most amazing and talented musicians that you could find anywhere in the world.

The power of music to unite, transform and inspire is one of the greatest gifts of all. It strips away the outer layers that often define us and helps us to form a connection with each other from the heart.

Janine Shepherd’s story reads like the plot of a Hollywood movie. A champion cross country skier in training for the winter Olympics, her life was irrevocably altered when she was run over by a truck during a training bicycle ride to the Blue Mountains. Today, Janine is much in demand as one of Australia’s most sought after motivational speakers. She travels extensively in Australia and overseas sharing her inspiring story of incredible courage and strength. It is a testament to the power of the human spirit and one that will move and inspire all.

    One of the most beautiful messages I’ve ever heard. If more people would live with loving, selflessness, sharing,and caring, it would be such a better place with a beautiful world free of fighting and hate. You are truly an inspiration Janine and keep forging forth with your message. We need you.
