Glennis Grace (born as Glenda Hulita Elisabeth Batta, 19 June 1978, Amsterdam) is a singer from the Netherlands who in 2005 won the national selection in the Netherlands for the Eurovision Song Contest 2005 for the nation. Grace’s song was the ballad “My Impossible Dream“, but she did not advance to the final.

She was discovered after she won a Dutch TV talent show where she performed Whitney Houston’s “One Moment in Time”. In April 2011 she reached the top of the Dutch singles chart with a rendition of “Afscheid”, a 1998 hit of the band Volumia!. She appeared on the 13th season of America’s Got Talent in 2018.

Her first performance on America’s Got Talent was a cover from Whitney Houston’s “Run To You”.

… and the rest, you will see for yourself!

Earlier in the AGT season, the glamorous singer performed “Run to You” by Whitney Houston for her audition, then followed up with “Nothing Compares 2 U“.

Grace showed her earlier performances were no flukes when she nailed the inspiration song with a touch of soul and some crowd-pleasing power-notes.

A PICTURE, A MEME SAYS A THOUSAND WORDS

In light of the recent violent and fatal events in Charlottesville, Virginia, my blogger friend Martin created this graphic.

These are deep words which ring so true and evoke strong emotions. 

I’m honored and proud to share it here with you.

ON THE WAY TO THE FINALS

I’m not really a baseball fan.

I didn’t know this championship was taking place until my dear friend Martin, from The Netherlands, made me aware.

Since then, he’s been keeping me informed and then I go look for info.

Last night was a very important game in many ways.

The main one for us, out countries were going head to head!

He told me …

“In 12 hours we know who plays final.

Good luck Puerto Rico, may the best ball player win!”

Thank you, Martin!

IOTD …. Image of the day, #631 …. “ORANGE: insulting to the Dutch …. OK: let me use PEACH …. “!!

~~February 22, 2017~~ 

NOW I KNOW

Despite their flag being composed of red, white and blue, the Dutch wear orange because it’s the color of the Dutch Royal Family.

The current Dutch dynasty is the House of Oranje-Nassau, which has a lineage that dates back to Willem van Oranje, whose name translates to William of Orange.

My friend Martin improved this meme.

Now I understand. I’m completely OK with the use the the word ‘impeach’!

Marriage Equality …. Slovenia!!

~~March 4, 2015~~ 

Slovenia became the first Central European country to pass marriage equality

On March 3, HRC commended the government of Slovenia for passing legislation that will make it the 21st nation to grant full marriage rights to all of its citizens.

“We commend the elected representatives of Slovenia for passing such historic legislation ensuring the nation’s LGBT citizens receive the rights they deserve, and we congratulate the LGBT activists and advocates who helped make this momentous day possible,”

said Ty Cobb, Director of HRC Global.

Slovenia’s national parliament approved the bill by a vote of 51 to 28. The bill will be sent to President Borut Pahor to sign into law.

Argentina, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Denmark,France, Iceland, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, South Africa, Scotland, Spain, Sweden, Uruguay, as well as England and Wales in the United Kingdom, have marriage equality laws that have gone into effect. In addition, Finland is set to extend full marriage rights to their LGBT citizens in the coming year.

The situation for LGBT people around the world varies widely, as some countries embrace equality, while in others, LGBT people continue to suffer from discrimination, persecution and violence.

Same-sex conduct is criminalized in 76 countries
In 10 countries same-sex conduct is punishable by death
So-called anti-LGBT “propaganda” laws inhibit LGBT advocacy in three countries
Same-sex marriage licenses are issued nationwide in 21 countries
In 2014 there were over 200 documented reports of transgender people murdered in 28 countries.

There continue to be countless undocumented cases of violence against transgender people throughout the world.

To this day, it’s 21 countries

It never ceases to amaze me that there are visitors “out there” who stop by, read, comment and interact with the blogger. we find this very interesting and the importance for us is beyond measure. It leads to wonder, amazement, humility and honor.

Without further ado, let’s get this rolling.

~~Shaun Gibson~~

“Hi my name is Shaun from Scotland.

“I suffer from Fibromyalgia. I was a Soccer manager for 15 years till 3 years ago when the pain stopped me and changed my life forever. The pain took things and kept doing so. I decided to make the pain my friend and live and laugh. I have a partner I love dearly and 4 kids. I will speak to anyone, I love to write, please check my blog below and I love to have fun and debate life. Thank you.”

He has nominated “It Is What It Is” for two awards. 

“It Is What It Is” was nominated for this award by Martin.

You can find him at: http://mavadelo.wordpress.com/

“I am born at 18-08-68 in Utrecht, the Netherlands as the last of 8 children in a house bearing number 8. I have had a life that some of you would call difficult, I am an adoptive child.

Although using the nick Mavadelo here (which stands simply for MArtin VAn DEr LOuw) I am better known under the nicknames Whizzy (my öfficial” nick for over 30 years).”

In the words of the Award Creator, Just Patty, at:

http://petitemagique.wordpress.com/

~~The Semper Fidelis Award~~

“I created this award because I wanted to do something special for my friends onWordPress. Semper Fidelis is Latin and means Always Loyal. Loyalty means the world to me. I am very loyal myself, but I’ve got major trust issues as well. And I think trust is very important if you are sharing so much of yourself with people you meet through the internet. So I am working on that!

Why the wolves? Because wolves have very strong ties with their pack. Like a family or a great group of friends. And I just love them!”

This award stands for the loyalty and love between friends.
