I think there are two kinds of people in the world….watchers and doers. Everyone has dreams, aspirations, things they want to do….or wish they had done. Why don’t people follow their dreams? Is it that critical voice in their head that says “That’s stupid….that won’t work.” Or is it the people in their life that say, “Are you high? What the hell are you thinkin’?” Everyone’s a critic. Especially those who are afraid to put it out there and risk it all. Those people are watchers.
What I love to see are the people that say “The hell with you….I’m going for it anyway!” Those people are doers. Darlene is one of those people. Darlene and I graduated together in 1978. That’s right our 30 year reunion is coming up and you know what? I am absolutely thrilled to be a member of the “Fabulous Forties” group of women and so is Darlene.
Darlene, her sister Goldie and friend Lynn had this idea to produce a video showing them goofing around and singing the ABBA megahit Mamma Mia. Then they actually had the guts to enter it into the Ponds “40+ and Fabulous Mamma Mia” National competition. And you know what? Competing against 1000’s of other women with great ideas and the guts to enter, they made it to the final 5. Their video ROCKS and will put a smile on your face. This video is imaginative, creative, funny and very well done and I honestly believe it is the best video.
Do yourself a huge favor and take a look. The video is only about three minutes long and guaranteed to put a smile on your face. Their video is the one on the left starring Darlene M; Lynn S & Goldie I. Then give them your vote. Click here to see the video.
Mamma Mia Ladies! Good Luck.

The competition is over and Darlene, Goldie & Lynn didn’t win. But they did give it one heck of a try. Way to go ladies. ( I have removed the competition links)



I entered and I voted for your friends…they truly were the best singers! Good luck to them.
