ROAKA – Love

by Eric Watermolen on September 1, 2010

My contribution to ROAKA this month will be short.  I want to share one of my favorite songs on love.  It’s from the movie Moulin Rouge, which is a great love story.  It fits in my favorite genre of movie, the unlikely hero triumphing over great evil.  This song marks the turning point where a forbidden love is overcome and true love begins to blossom.  (If you are reading in email or a RSS feed, you may have to click through the site to see the video.)

Be sure to visit Jane Be Nimble, the leader of our merry band of RAOKA, her love post rocks!


The RAOKA mission seeks to remind us that Random Acts of Kick Arse happen all around us—and also to spread the spirit. Each month, us RAOKA team mateys vote on a new theme based on your submissions.

On the first Wednesday of each month (US time zone) we invite everyone to post about what we’ve observed, passed along, or created. During the first ten days of the month, contact me with your theme ideas for the next month.

If you like RAOKA, you might also like the Personal Development Campfire.  Our next PDC topic is Change, and posts will go live on September 15.

Hi Eric,
Oh my, oh my, I can’t believe this. This whole love month is knocking my socks off! I can’t believe you picked this video/song of the millions and billions out there. I have always loved this move immensely and particular song.
AWESOME! What are the chances of this? AMAZING.
Thanks for this, Eric, and your constant support and friendship.
Thank you for everything you do.

Lori, looks like we both have good taste in music and movies. ;)

My real favorite song from Moulin Rouge is the Can Can song, but it didn’t seem to fit this month’s theme.

Eric,

I loved this movie and this song, thanks for sharing it and I also visited Lori’s site for her 40th birthday! You and Tess, it was meant that I visit Lori’s site today! Thanks.

I do Random acts often but do not write about it somehow, maybe one of these day I will participate too!

Hey Preeti, Isn’t it interesting how we just seem like we are meant to see or do certain things.
