I was going to write my first journal entry of the year on my redesigned website blog, but it's not yet completed, and I don't want to wait any longer. I've decided to go ahead and start using this blog. Why not? Plus my mom won't be able to find it so easily!

2006 was a very rough year. I went through some really crazy, unbelievable ish, and I had to completely stop dancing. Not being able to do something that you were put here to do is death. There is no other way to explain it. I went from having an active, successful dance career to nothing. It's still painful to even think about that and even more painful to write about it, but part of my healing process is writing about what happened. Alot of times we keep pain private and miss the opportunity to share experiences with others that have gone through the same trials, and can give encouragement and words of wisdom needed to put things into perspective. So I will be posting alot more entries here in the future.

I somehow managed to survive and remain sane! I thank my family and close friends for that. I don't know where I would be without their support. I don't even want to imagine that!

I'm glad that 2006 is gone, and I look forward to this year. There is still quite alot of rebuliding and repair that needs to be done, but I've gotten rid of the things,people, and negative thoughts that were causing all the havoc. I no longer have space or time for those same negative things, people or thoughts and do not allow them near me.

Wow! I feel lighter already!
