Step Away

Sometimes one needs to step away before they can move forward...

Orange Bowl Half Time Performer

My daughter is a dancer.  She dances with a Company from The Dance Attic in Wake Forest, NC.

Recently, due to their spectacular performance at Regional and National competitions, they have been invited to perform at the half time show for the Orange Bowl in Miami FL.

This is a great honor for these girls, and a once in a life time opportunity.  We are currently trying to raise some funds to allow the girls to participate.  Any and all donations are greatly appreciated and welcome!!!!

Leaps..

Our hearts don't allow us to look before we leap, it just leaps...

Of Monsters and Men - Yellow Light

Honesty

If I open my heart and soul to you all I ask is for you to be honest with me - if you care, care, if you say it, mean it.  Words are more powerful than a fist - don't lie - that is more painful and scaring then a blow to the face.  My face will heal, my heart will not...

Night Sky

The night sky frightens me at times; the depth of the darkness, the endless and over power feeling of being alone.  But as I look around the blackness that surrounds me I spot a twinkling star - one that reminds me that I'm not alone, that yes, there is something more.  And maybe, just maybe someone far away is looking at that same star and feeling not so alone either.

Sunshine

                            The sun doesn't simply shine on one's face, it warms the soul

"Hi"

"hi doll"

"hi"

"hey can I call you right back"

"sure" 

I laugh, knowing that you won't, not for hours, and even then it may only be a text.  I laugh because you thought of me that much in your busy world to call and say simple "hi".  I laugh because that 10 second call made my heart smile 

Umbrella

I know I don't need an umbrella when it rains when I'm with you - who would hold it anyhow - we will be to busy dancing in each others arms, splashing up the water with our feet and drowning in each others eyes to worry about getting wet

My List

Sweetest words I have heard - 

"Mom, on my list of what I missed most, you were the number one thing.  I love you so much" - my son after a week of military training

Tears came to my eyes...
