It's so easy to get caught up in our every day lives... things that seem important but when compared to the people we love and dramatic world tragedies - just seem ridiculously unnecessary. With Memorial Day just passed - I am also reminded of recent tragedies. There was a very dear friend my age who I never expected to die so young who passed May 4th.  Even though he had health problems and quite often was in and out of the hospital... it's still hard to believe.  I'm grateful he's at peace and will no longer suffer... But I am trying to let go of the regret I have from not spending time with him the last couple times I had a chance. Another family friend very suddenly died leaving a devastated family.  A truly tragic accident that no one ever could expect... it's a reminder of just how fragile our bodies can be and how we never really know how long we have on this earth. Of course we are always reminded when there is a massive tragedy such as in Oklahoma, ...

This is a good time for the release and letting go of unwanted emotions; worry, angst, self-consciousness and anything else that holds one back.  I don't know about you, but I want to be my genuine self, working daily to transcend darkness and find the path that's rewarding and purposeful. Here is my list of the numerous worries I want released and to be free from.  They are all immensely difficult and thus why I am writing this, so I will reference and remember the things I feel hold me back in life.  I am not lecturing you... I am basically talking to myself.  :-)  1.  Stop worrying about money.  Despite unemployment and all the hard times, you have always gotten by and been completely blessed by supportive family and unexpected financial blessings from others as well.  You will never starve or be out on the streets.  (Grateful) 2.  Let go of the bitterness, anger, frustration and shame of losing jobs.  You know that yo...

I want you to know that wherever you are today, a bigger life awaits you. Here are the things I learned that may support you in "defying gravity": 1. Always dream bigger than you think you can achieve at this moment 2. See the vision of your bigger life in your mind and embrace the possibility of it happening 3. Research and study so that you gain skills in the area of your dreams 4. Ask the universe to support you beyond your wildest imaginings 5. Say "yes" when opportunities arise. You may not be great at something but the universe will give you chances to learn and grow 6. Model people who do what you want to do 7. Expect Miracles and when they come celebrate Please affirm with me: Today, I boldly step into the amazing adventure of my life. I defy the odds of limitation and create a life of endless and enduring possibilities.

Let's face it, most movies about dancing pretty much stink. The plot is predictable, the dialogue is cheesy...  We all know the plot. There's the misunderstood person whose passion is to dance and they struggle, struggle, till finally there's an ending breakthrough dance & they hear from a parent or authority figure, "oh I was so wrong! I see now dancing is who you are and what you have to do!" Or the protagonist has poverty or some kind of tragedy to overcome, couldn't dance & then re-discoveres it.  Get a new plot already. Yet true dance fans endure that for those few moments of dance number bliss. I wish dance movies could be told entirely through dance, like ballets are in the theatre. Since I enjoy all types of dancing, I used to own You Got Served & would just fast forward through the talking parts... Until I realized I was mostly just fast forwarding. I used to be a big fan of Dirty Dancing... Until I really got into other genres of dancing ...
