If you’re not a Susan Boyle fan, are you a fan of people who put others down - right before the biggest day of their life?

We need to be supportive of Susan Boyle as things have seemed to turn 180 degrees and now everyone is against her again. Remember not to listen to all that stuff so as not to give energy to it. We want to send out only positive energy across the world to her.

Let’s send out white light or energy or whatever you want to call it to help this woman get through the next 48-72 hours on a “high” - Allow her to win or lose based on her talent, not the media (and others ) attacking her.

I really wrote a rant to my InspiredBySusan list but I am keeping it “calm” here

Also remember to take our survey on Susan!

 In this time when things are reported as “bad”, “down”, or “struggling”  or even whatever word you choose to use, there have been lots of inspirational stories popping up all over. 

Susan Boyle (Britain’s Got Talent Contestant) takes number one in my book! And I’ve created a website around the inspiration and hope she’s generated all over the globe with her courage.  The intent is to bring together so much of the stories and analysis surrounding her experience and allow others to share their thoughts and plans or advice for people like Susan all over the world - having a dream but not living it until something happens - Susan stepped out, Susan got UNSTUCK, Susan took a chance. And looks what’s happened. So please visit SusanBoyleInspiresMe.com and post a comment.

We’ve also created a 5 question survey asking whether or not Susan has inspired you. Please take that survey - it’s short and quick.

And then last but not least today - many of you may know that I’m a New York Yankees fanatic - yesterday Polly Thompkins was the honorary bat girl. She is dealing with not one, but three types of cancer…read this story and then use your Gratitude Journal to give thanks for your health and good fortune.

 Yankees honor woman who is battling Stage 4 melanoma

From Yankees.com - 20 May 09

NEW YORK — Polly Tompkins shrieked with delight as Alex Rodriguez and Nick Swisher walked over during batting practice, offering hugs to greet the Yankees’ honorary bat girl for Wednesday’s game against the Orioles.

Engaged in small talk for a moment with Rodriguez, Tompkins — a 38-year-old schoolteacher from Candor, N.Y., who is fighting Stage 4 melanoma, breast cancer and pancreatic cancer — pointed up to the field-level seats behind the first-base dugout, spotting more than 100 of her friends and family.

Rodriguez glanced and said, “Let’s go,” and within an instant, Rodriguez and Swisher were in the stands, shaking hands and signing baseballs among the fans in a surreal scene.

“This is one of the best days of my life, I think,” Tompkins said. “It sounds so cliché, but it’s amazing that my friends and family can spend it with me. And I met Derek Jeter! A-Rod and Swisher were so nice, not that Derek Jeter wasn’t. But that was pretty incredible that they went and acknowledged my family that way.”

Tompkins was honored by the Yankees as part of a conjunction promotion between Major League Baseball and the Susan G. Komen for the Cure, which recognizes baseball fans who are going to bat against cancer in their daily lives. She was nominated for the honor by Kate Handy, a second-grade teacher at Tompkins’ school.

A first-grade teacher and self-proclaimed Yankees fanatic, Tompkins’ cancer was diagnosed in April. She wore a bright pink bandanna on the field, meeting and greeting her favorite Yankees. Upon greeting Alfredo Aceves, she commented how all the players are more handsome in person.

“It means so much to me,” Tompkins said. “It’s taken my mind off of something so difficult in my life. It just shows me how many friends and family love me and got me here today. I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for my amazing friends and family.”

Reggie Jackson stopped by for a hug and signed an autograph, and Joe Girardi waved into the seats, telling Tompkins not to worry about scaling the full mound for the ceremonial first pitch. She would one-hop it to Swisher underhand before the game.

“I’m glad you’re here,” Girardi told her, “and we look forward to seeing you at 7 o’clock.”

Tompkins said she woke up at 4 a.m. ET on Wednesday and couldn’t sleep. There was a sendoff ceremony at the Candor Elementary School — the hundred-plus pink shirts read, “Polly-palooza” — and a parade of fire trucks, ambulances and police vehicles helped start her three-hour journey to New York.

“I’m so lucky,” Tompkins said. “I’m truly blessed. You take each day one at a time and you live in the moment. And this is a moment I will not forget for a long time.”
