|| The Joyful Heart Foundation - Awareness - 'If No One Will Listen...' ||

Ok guys - so some of you may remember that last month - I asked for some 'Joyful help'. And I got a nice response :) - Those people will see that they have their apperance in my video - now - it isn't the longest of appearances you will see, but it took me an hour just to edit that part alone - to get us all saying 'Joyful' and doing the hearts at the same time - insane!
Which leads me to my apology - that this has taken me so long to get up - but with all of my college work on top of me right now - this video has taken me all the more longer to edit.
But I wanted to get it right - I wanted to do this foundation justice. It is one close to my own 'Joyful Heart'. And so I wanted to get it as close to perfect in my eyes as I could.
And I really hope I did that.

The statistics - are U.K and U.S.A accurate statistics - I researched so much for this project it is unreal. I read so much - and I watched so many videos/interviews and speeches with Mariska - I think I've got to know her like the back of my hand by now haha! But it has been a pleasure to learn and be educated on all of it. She is an amazing woman...

The song underlying the statistics - is an instrumental version of a song by 'The Fray' - called 'You Found Me'.
The song underneath the actual video itself - is Kelly Clarkson's - taken from her 'All I Ever Wanted' album. - Called 'If No One Will Listen' - beautiful song, if you've never heard it before - check it out.

Credits go to:

* The Joyful Heart Foundation - for their work - and for all photos and relating clips used - also for certain statistics
* Mariska Hargitay - for the amazing work and difference she makes - and for all clips she was present in
* Kelly Clarkson and The Fray - and Sony BMG for the audio I used.
* Julia MS, TJ Shellback, and any other 'Joyful Hearters' who gave their time, their voices, and their videos to this cause. Thank you.


Thank you to you all.
I really hope I did this well. And did it as much justice as possible.
I can safely say that I put in all of my effort and energy into making it the best I could...

Enjoy. xo

P.S - Always have with you a 'Joyful Heart'

@dancingstar1226 Wow! Really? That's awesome - I wanted to make people aware and I wanted to really get the message out there and aimed to really try and show who Mariska was as well within this... I guess, it's doing that :) And I cannot tell you how pleased and proud it makes me! I am so happy that this has done so well... <3 Thank you very much again - and thank you to ALL OF YOU who watched and favourite and spread this video! You are amazing <3

[PerfectlyImperfect03]

Ahhh wow. I think I just nearly cried at such a beautiful comment from you! Thank you! Really! I really tried to capture exactly that - the amazing work she does - and to show that she isn't just another celebrity whose just putting her face to a charity or cause - shes putting her heart and soul INTO it. End of. She inspired me to do it. And I hope this makes people aware. Thank you so much again <3
