Ballerina

Another Season of Dance is to begin. This year we will be in a new studio, which I am very excited about.

I am so grateful to my parents for making me learn now to dance. Even those times when I kicked and screamed and tried to talk or cry my way out of it. It is now something that I cherish and can pass on to my children. Thank you Mom for insisting and seeing something that I couldn't.

Who knew I would get my degree in dance and open my very own dance studio. All I wanted to learn was a little coordination and grace. Who knew "movement" would play such a huge role in my life.

Live. Love. Dance.

The dryer is not the safest place to be playing so I have to keep a close eye on him on Mondays, aka: Laundry Day!
