Shirley Batchelder fromTennessee in the US, 94 years old. Pinks socks in her sandals, pink flowers in her hair and a bedroom that matches her pink style. What’s so special about this lady? Five seconds. That’s what left on her bucketlist. Five seconds on television to share three words with the world in an add.
She made me laugh, when I saw the flowers in her hair. She organizes the bingo in the retirement home where she lives. Normally no one would be very interested in a old lady with pink flowers, but Shirley got the world’s attention. She made an add with a simple message: Love one another. Three words, simple yet so powerfull.
In times where people are having a hard time with acceptance, compassion and kindness, this woman seems to be smart enough to shake us up for five seconds.
