“I had an idea to do a ‘little’ holiday flash mob.”

Posted on December 4, 2011 by maryjane

This just in from my friend Loralee Choate:

I approached Dr. Craig Jessop, (who you might know best as the former director of The Mormon Tabernacle choir), about doing a holiday flash mob with our choir (The American Festival Chorus) at the mall in Logan, Utah.

I still can’t believe he said yes. 10 days, a commissioned arrangement, a film crew, 8 cameras, 150+ singers, Irish dancers, a bell choir, and a WHOLE LOT of Black Friday shoppers later we had THIS:

I would truly and greatly love and appreciate any and all internet/email love you could give this little project to help spread holiday cheer.

Much love and a happy holiday season to you all!

Ready to start your Sunday morning off on an uplifting note?

The first person with an extra 20 minutes on their hands who wanders on over to Maggie’s Organics website to watch their video “The Fabric of Humanity” gets a pair of organic love socks (a gift from Béna Burda herself), along with a copy of our brochure “Why Organic Cotton?” It’s a moving video. (I promise, you’ll never be the same.) Get ready to usher in the human spirit at its best! (And walk away forever inspired by Béna and the women in her life.)

Behind Bars

I’m guessing you love to read as much as I do. I also suspect that, like me, you don’t always get enough time to curl up with a good book. Oh, how I cherish every moment when I can wander among words. You know the feeling: suddenly, you find yourself transported to another place, another time, another way of thinking. One of the things I love best about books is …
