"We're just one big family"

It's the Fourth of July weekend and I'm in Baltimore, Maryland to participate in the Optimist International Convention. It would be so simple to pull out a patriotic song for Music Sunday and call it good. However, I really believe the value of belonging to an organization like an Optimist Club comes from sharing things that make us happy.

This is a happy song, and just as I share my passion for volunteer service with others, I also wanted to share this uplifting message with a thousand of my closest friends and you, of course, on the Experience Optimism blog. The message: "Look into your heart and you'll find love. We're just one big family," sings Jason Mraz.

Performed live in Japan, here is Jason Mraz with 'I'm Yours.'



And here is an aspiring young ukulele artist practicing to become the next Jason Mraz. Enjoy.
