Rejection

How do you handle it? Its important to understand how you react to it. Is it something that keeps you down for awhile? Do you get very emotional then let it go just as quickly? If you dont know how you handle it then. How can other people help you out? When you need to lean on them. I recently had to endure this feeling and was thinking not many people talk about. Also how do you learn to handle it? If you've never been rejected in something really big or important. I mean little things here or there for me are just like nothing. example:If you make pictures in your mind like I do, I think of them as little dandelion seeds that just float away in the spring. But big things that you just cant seem to accept or wrap your mind around. picture: Big rock or brick falling out of know where right on your toes as you walk down the street. Thats alot tougher and I tend to try and carry it by my self. Which is silly! If Im walking with Christ. Picture: Jesus as a gentleman walking down the street along side you He can carry the heavy things in my life that are to big or to much for me to handle.

ITs 2007!

Its time to turn over a new leaf and blog more often. Sorry I have'nt posted in awhile but I know you still love me. I am currently teaching ballet in Wheaton, Elgin, and Chicago. I dont have any dancing jobs but am auditioning this season. Working with Lyric Opera was so much fun I met so many new people. I hope to keep in touch with most of them thru the year. Its hard being a full time dancer you have to rely on word of mouth or constent exposure to survive but God has been faithful. I am continually trying different forms of dance, the newst one is West Coast Swing! I know what probly comes to mind is jitterbug or lindyhop where they throw the girl up in the air or around their backs very fast paced. Thats not it at all. Think of something more subtle and coy yet proper but also street. I guess its hard to understand until you've seen it. I love it thou I have a feelling we will be together for a long time. Well I see ya around have a great day with lots of dancing

Trust God and your self

For those of you who dont already know I got a contract with the lyric opera of chicago!
Im really looking forward to working in the city its something Ive been wanting for awhile. So If you havent heard the story already I went to the audition which was on the same day as a Dress Rehearsal for Upper Rooms show. It was going really well I made it to the end of the audition but didnt get the job. So I drove to the rehearsal performed my heart out and in a few weeks got a call from them asking if I was still available and, I said" yes!" I am so excited to be here at this time in my life. Praise god! For this opportunity he has given me. Im so glad I kept on trusting God and that He knew what He was doing and was in control of the situation.

take the first step

Its easy for any one to say they dance but If you enjoy dancing then you should take classes to better your self and to bring out your own personal creativety. It may seem hard at first but taking class will improve your confidence in the long run. So Go for It and Have Fun!
