MiG Ayesa: His Act of Kindness

Sometimes what seems like one simple act of kindness touches more people than you could have imagined. It influences others, and ignites one flame of hope after another. MiG Ayesa is a man responsible for many acts of kindness. When fans have attended his performances, MiG has treated them with respect and warmth. He's eagerly agreed to autographs and photos, no matter how long it's taken. Today though, I'm thinking of another act of kindness by MiG that continues to make a difference, and it might make a difference for you, too.

A few years ago, MiG willingly gave of his time and talent to perform at a benefit for the Salvation Army in London, England. Surrounded by a first-rate orchestra and a choir with a multitude of divine youthful voices, MiG gave what to me was the most beautiful performance of Christmas songs I've ever heard. The voice was stunning, the arrangements impressive, yet the light in MiG's eyes is what made the performance unforgettable.

If you watch the video on YouTube, you'll see what I mean. There's a link to it in the right column of this blog (Video of MiG Christmas Songs). Thanks to Mary Beth of Team MiG for posting the video. Although the video screen caps below aren't the sharpest of images, they show the sincerity and joy that came through in MiG's performance.





In addition to raising funds for the Salvation Army that night, more good came from MiG's act of kindness. Team MiG members donated hundreds of dollars to the Salvation Army as a Christmas gift for MiG. It expressed our feelings for MiG, and helped a great organization help others in need. In addition, seeing the love in MiG's performance touched some people very deeply and made a positive impact in their lives.

An act of kindness does just as much for the person giving as the person receiving. That's where part of the joy in MiG's eyes came from. He gave of himself, and the lyrics meant something to him. Now, maybe his act of kindness can reflect back on him again. Maybe it can show the world the special person and performer MiG Ayesa is. It can refresh the memories of those who haven't kept up with MiG since Rockstar: INXS, or since MiG starred as Galileo in We Will Rock You and sang the fabulous music of Queen. It also can lead others to discover MiG.

And maybe when MiG's next album is released, you'll buy it or download it. When he performs, maybe you'll go see him. Or maybe you'll request his songs on the radio, or tell others about this supremely talented artist. It will help MiG achieve the dream of being a successful recording artist that he's chased for a long time. And you'll get the benefit of some amazing music, and experience MiG's kindness for yourself if you meet him.



It's Christmas, so perhaps that will spark interest in our own acts of kindness. Donate to the Salvation Army or another worthy charity. Volunteer your time soon to help someone who needs it. Or tell someone you care, and strive to make your actions match your words. You never know how much a simple act of kindness can enrich the lives of the giver and the receiver...and what your act of kindness can ignite.

Help keep the light shining for MiG. Pass it on. And don't miss the video...it will remind you what Christmas is all about.

Merry Christmas!
