To my Dance Sisters

Lucy — Sun, 14 Sep 2008 01:34:02 GMT

I am so thankful for my family - my dance sisters. You tell me when there's lipstick on my teeth, and when my belt is not on straight, or when I've done a good job with my hair. You do it to help me present myself - and us - in our best light. We laugh, hug, and delight in our shared enjoyment of dance! It's all too wonderful! If anyone had told me that I would meet you all and get to dance with you and share these fun moments, accomplishments, frustrations, stories; shed tears of joy and sometimes sadness - I would have thought it a dream too good to be true. You're awesome - Thank you for the gift you are to me :)

Tribute to beautiful Aliya!

I was saddened to learn that Aliya has passed on from this world. She was such a lovely person; she truly inspired me with her grace and positive attitude. Thank you, Aliya for the encouragement you gave me when I attended your workshop this year. You made the world a better place... Love, Lucy

I want to say thanks to Cindy for a wonderful day of dancing yesterday! Her sister Aliya came to visit from Washington DC and taught two workshops. The workshop I attended was fun, fantastic & so informative. I look forward with anticipation to her next visit :) We are so fortunate to have access to such wonderful teachers and fellow dancers here in the Antelope Valley. Thank you Cindy; we love you and you enrich so many people's lives with the wonderful art of dance :) and with your generous heart. Lucy

Blogging; what a concept!

I've been on tribe for quite some time and never thought I'd blog, but hey, it was a relatively painless thing to do and it reminded me - once again - of how blessed I am to have wonderful people in my life... Thanks for your hugs & support. You are appreciated!!

Sad

I feel like I've been grieving for all sorts of reasons this last couple of months. Today Sandra, who had come for a short visit, has left to go back to N. California. It's so hard to see my awesome kids go far away. I am proud of them, and don't worry because they are wise, strong, and capable. But I really miss sharing the joy of their accomplishments and laughing at their jokes... and giving them a hug.
