I love this woman with all my heart and soul. My time spent with her was priceless and a pure joy. My grandaughter Madi fell in love with her and Nedi opened the doors for her dancing to blossom. Anyone lucky enough to know her is truly blessed. I can't wait for the next time.

A lovelier spirit you will not find... I love this woman! Not only is she a beautiful artist but a beautiful person. She gives and gives and expects nothing but love and respect in return. That is so amazing to me. Karma being what it is she should get nothing but good in return.

Nedra is the busiest bee I know! She is even busier than I am!!

Her heart is made of pure gold. So giving.

I admire her beautiful dance in the face of all she has been through. Brava!

I hope we will work together again, and often.

While it may be true that dance involves alot of technique, proper movements, and carefully choreographed steps, Nedra truely understands that it is a spirtual and emotional work of Art. Dancing with Nedra means dancing beautifully, but is also means expressing yourself, however vunerable that may sometimes seem. She will always coax me out of the tried and true 'steps' that I've learned and make me look inward for passion and Art in my movements. It's a whole 'nother bellydancing game.
The world would be a better place if everyone had a chance to dance with Nedra.
NEDRA 4 PRESIDENT! Have I gone too far again?

what can I say about nedra?

not only is she a dancer that could put salome to shame, she is a good natured, kind hearted, nurturing person.

I like her. she is cool.

and she just seems to universally care about people.

and, did I mention she is a GREAT dancer????

Nedra...

"If you see a wise person who shows you your faults,
who shows what is to be avoided,
follow that wise person
as you would one who reveals hidden treasures;
you will be better not worse for following that one.
Let one admonish; let one teach; let one forbid the wrong;
and one will be loved by the good and hated by the bad."

I read that, and thought of you. Deeply. May your wisdom continue to lead, and your hidden treasures continue to be revealed.

I look forward to sharing much laughter, light, and goodness with you. It's a sad shame that others are so blinded by their *OWN* unhappiness, because they are missing out on some of the most wonderful experiences, open doors, and blissful moments.

Namaste, my friend...

I don't think Nedra has a bad bone in her body. She's a beautiful dancer. When I have been under stress due to drama or with personal issues, she always has kind wise words and good advice for me. I am happy that she has a beautiful home and family. This girl has a passion for dance and when I watch her dance I can see it. She's a sweetheart :)

You are so sweet and generous to help me get started with this tribenet stuff.

Thank you so much for your big heart and willingness to share.

Your heart and spirit are in the right place and a welcome addition to our avocation...

love,

I'm so happy that Tribe.net has provided the opportunity for me to become friends with Nedra. She has such a beautiful heart and a golden soul. I love being able to keep up with her every day here.

I applaud her goals and desires to help victims of domestic violence through bellydance. It's a cause close to my heart, and I'm grateful that Nedra has take up this cause for her own.

Nedra is the best belly dancer I know! She's really caring and generous and overall a pretty cool sister-in-law. Also she's the one who invited me to Tribe.net, so yay!

There is another aspect about Nedra which I would like to add to my previous testimonial and tribute to her. She has healed so many people and made them whole again. The people's lives she has influenced and impacted are too many to enumerate here. But she is truly a healer.

The only way I can put this into proper perspective is to relate a brief story about Carl Hammerschlag, a doctor, psychiatrist and motivational keynote speaker, who had worked with Native American Indians.

While working as a family physician in a Native American hospital in the Southwest, Carl Hammerschlag was introduced to a patient named Santiago, a Pueblo priest and clan chief, who asked him where he had learned to heal. Hammerschlag responded almost by rote, rattling off his medical education, internship, and certification.

The old man replied, "Do you know how to dance?"

To humor Santiago, Hammerschlag shuffled his feet at the priest's bedside. Despite his condition, Santiago got up and demonstrated the proper steps. "You must be able to dance if you are to heal people," he admonished the young doctor. "I can teach you my steps, but you will have to hear your own music."

Nedra heals people in so many ways and, unequivocally, knows how to dance. She hears the music to which so many of us have become deaf. Should you be so privileged as to see even just one of her performances, you are truly blessed and will feel a change within you. You will come away from the experience feeling touched, feeling deeply moved, feeling different, feeling healed.

For me, Nedra is the rarest of the most beautiful, the most fluid of performers to have ever graced the stage for belly dance. Well beyond this, she is a selfless inspiration to others, the personification of truth, touching the heart with her words, her great intelligence, her movements, her sincerity, and her unquestionable love.

If you have ever seen a blue heron fly overhead and have been awe-struck by its majesty, sensing, perhaps, that it has been created and sent to you by a power much greater than yourself and you feel humbled by that thought, then you just may begin to understand, but only so slightly, what it feels like to be near Nedra, to know Nedra.
