Welcome to Monday’s Music Moves Me on Sundays! More than half of August has slipped right pass me. The end of summer gets pretty hot and the humidity sure makes things worse but I’m trying to not complain…much. No matter what the weather brings, we can enjoy the music so let’s get this party started. Our theme this week is whatever music moves you!
Michael Grimm was introduced to me with his appearance on season five of America’s Got Talent. I fell in love with his vocals immediately and was so happy that he won AGT that year.
To refresh my memory which season Grimm’s was on AGT, I came across some articles mentioning that he was hospitalized last year with some mysterious illness which required heavy sedated and on a ventilator during his stay. The most recent updates on his health published in July 2023 revealed Grimm’s is on the mend.
“I’m doing much better. This has been an eye-opening experience for me in a big way, brother,” Grimm told the Las Vegas Review-Journal on July 7. “That is putting it the best way I can. I’m still repairing, but I have my loved ones here with me.”

None of us are immune to health scares. This serves to reminds me how precious life is and to not take anything for granted. I hope you’re doing well and back to your old self again, Michael!
Now, it’s your turn. What music moves you today?
In closing, here’s my responses to Friday’s Friendly Fill-ins.
1. I am so not looking forward to the long trip to the northeast but I’m very much looking forward to our vacation!
2. Ghirardelli natural,unsweetened cocoa is surprisingly delicious. For the past two years, we’ve incorporated collagen and inulin powder into our nutritional supplement routine. To mask the bland taste of the powders, we add cocoa. At first it was a bit bitter but our taste adjusted and now think it’s rather good. Cocoa, especially natural, unsweetened (not Dutch processed) is higher in flavonoids which are very good for you. The real surprise to us to learn is it contains 2g of fiber per tablespoon. That’s impressive.
3. I need a welcome sign at my front door that says “ENTER AT YOUR OWN RISK!”. Seriously, our place is so small and is made smaller with all the stuff we’ve accumulated. We have no place for anything. The obvious thing to do is declutter and we’ve tried that but still too much stuff. Perhaps this can be remedied if we ever get moved. The housing market is so awful, though!
4. I would consider heavily the possiblity of getting a job if it meant that I could help us get into another place sooner. However, returning to work outside the home comes with expenses. I don’t believe in all honesty that I can earn enough to make up the difference and contribute to a new home mortgage. It’s a horrible situation, is it not? Maybe, we’ll win the lottery!
I apologize for the problem with my “like” button and linky party not displaying for some of y’all last week. I think these issues are now fixed. If not, let me know. You’re welcome to leave an emoji or a short comment. I’m easy going. This will flag me of your visit. One more thing, I noticed some of y’alls Gravatar profiles aren’t linked to your website and I am unable to find my way to you. Have a boogietastic week!
