Unique Cellist: Part 2

My family and I were helping host a baby shower and lucky for us Sharon (Cellist) came to play lullabys. I had the honor of listening to her play "Someone Like You", "Safe and Sound", some Coldplay, along with many other artists. Sharon is one of the most dedicated people I know. She puts her heart and soul into all of her music. It's always an honor to hear her play her cello. Another thing about Sharon that is very unique is that she does play for her own joy in music but she also plays for what it brings to other people. Last night she was telling me that she thinks this could be really good, and I think she's right. Something very memorable that she said that I will never forget was, "We need to bless the world." Meaning, her music can do a lot for people... we just need to get it to them. Sharon is one of the most talented people I know and you can see some of that talent for yourself on her website, http://sharongerbermusic.com/ and on her YouTube channel.

The Hunger Games: Part 2

I just finished Mockingjay (3rd book) and LOVED it! The ending was so perfect and sweet and it showed just how much Peeta and Katniss care for each other and that they wouldn't be able to live without each other. :)  I was a little upset about some of the characters being killed off, but the more I thought about it the more it just showed the strength of Peeta and Katniss' relationship. I would highly recommend these books. :):):)

You liked The Hunger Games. Real or Not Real? ;)

The Hunger Games

I am incredibly addicted to The Hunger Games. :) I haven't see the movie yet but am almost done with the third book, and I LOVE them! For those of you who don't know what it's about, it's set it a futuristic time where after the war North America split into 13 districts and The Capital destroyed district 13 to show they have power over them. Every year The Capital host the Hunger Games where they randomly pick a boy and a girl from each of the 12 districts and put them in an arena and they kill each other until there's only one person left standing. They do this to show they have control over them and that The Capital can wipe them out whenever the want. It is a kinda violent but it also shows courage and trust. Here's a sneak peek to the book and the movie. :):):)

Unque Cellist

One of my mom's friends is a professional cellist and has played for many different events. She constantly practices new songs and tries to perfect them. As most of you know "The Hunger Games" recently came out and features (in the credits) the new Taylor Swift and Civil Wars song "Safe and Sound". She just perfected the song and put it on YouTube. In the song she uses her cello as her one and only instrument. In the song you"ll also find that she Incorporated Rue's calling. She chose the perfect setting for it, beside a camp fire. :) Take a look at it. :)
