Favorite Thing - Secret Millionaire

One of the topics that I'd like to cover with this blog is entertainment. I enjoy a good show, song, movie, or outing just as much as the next person. Unfortunately, our society has made it difficult to find things of that nature to enjoy without the use of a lot of profanity, nudity, sexual undertones, drug use, etc. So, I am always happy to find something to enjoy that doesn't involve those things. Which brings us to my favorite thing of the day:

Secret Millionaire

I found out about this show about a month ago. Since I saw the first episode, I've been hooked. I can't wait for Monday to get here so I can watch the newest one. Yes, I said Monday. We don't have cable, so I watch it on Hulu the next day. Here's the link if you're interested:

If you haven't seen it, I'll give you a short summary.

A millionaire is sent to a poverty-stricken area to spend 5 days living there. Their mission is to find at least three organizations that serve that community and volunteer with them. They aren't allowed to tell anyone that they are a millionaire. They just explain that they're doing a documentary on volunteering in the community to explain the camera following them around. At the end of their time there, they have to divvy up at least $100,000 of their own money to give to these organizations and reveal who they really are.

Each episode has caused me to cry (and I'm not typically a crier). They are also so inspiring! It gets the wheels of my mind spinning thinking about things that I could do for others someday. I would do something now, but taking care of a one year old is enough for work for me for the time being!

If you want to watch the show on TV, it airs on Sunday nights on abc. Here's the link with more information: http://abc.go.com/shows/secret-millionaire.

Bye for now! Blessings to everyone!
