Dance Show

Hey!  I had my school dance show yesterday………..I was in eleven dances!  It was so much fun, but today, I am pretty much in a coma and can’t move.  But it was TOTALLY worth it!  After my show, I had about three or four people come up to me and tell me that I was “an incredible dancer”.  One very nice girl told me, “I know you don’t know me, but I just HAVE to tell you how amazing you are…….I mean, REALLY.  Everything, EVERYTHING was so incredible.  You are AMAZING.  I just saw you walking out and said ‘oh my gosh!  I have to tell her’!”

Pretty nice of her, huh?  It really meant a lot to me.  I love dance so much and didn’t freak out trying to be all perfect and not forget stuff or anything………I just let the music carry me through the show and displayed my love of dance! 

Keepin’ the writing up.  I just finished a section on one of our friends, Casey, and how he visited me.  It was fun to write because it literally flowed out of my heart and I didn’t even need to think.  When your soul writes, and not your mind, it’s a beautiful thing.

Catchin’ up

Hey!

Been SUPER busy!  School, dance, writing!  Have a dance show tomorrow and I’m going to be dancing for pretty much 12 hours!  Heaven.  I have a surprise for all of you that I’m going to tell you soon!  HATE to leave you wondering!  Oh, well!

Hey everyone!

LOVE my messages!  Thanks!  Wrote a lot today…….mostly about my second round of chemo.  TONS to write about.  I could make a book out of each day these past two years.  But then, Iwould be probably 100 (or dead) by the time I finished!  So I’ll squish it into one for ya, k?  Take care everyone!  Happy Mommy’s Day!
