A year in the Liefe of

In the spotlight

This is a poster showing my younger daughter(by all of seven minutes)taking a lead role in a production of The Nutcracker.Taken some years ago, she went on to train in ballet and is now happily working as a professional dancer.
I remember the feeling of pride we as a family had as we watched her perform .She lit the entire stage up with her grace , beauty and unique quality of dance.When it comes to the requirements for pleasing an audience,all the knowledge and instruction, props and experience in the world is worthless, if you don't have an ounce of soul and she has a TON!!!Many dancers may have turned faster, kicked higher,(although I doubt it) balanced longer but these are poor substitutes for the passion she has for her art.
However,I feel just as much pride in her as a person as a dancer.She has grown into a most wonderful young lady, as has her twin sister.(her brother's quite pretty too. Your Blips will follow Lisey and Fraz)
Some years ago, she danced with Disney in Tokyo, Japan .She always was a Disney fan but I would now class her as a FANATIC! She lives, talks and breathes Disney, to the extent she plays her role out, as Wendy in Peter Pan, in her every day life.She really is like Peter 'the little GIRL' who NEVER wants to grow up.She considers herself to be a PRINCESS since taking on the role of Snow White in the same production and insists that she is indeed not just any old princess but a REAL princess!
This morning, she sent me a message all the way from Miami where she is rehearsing at present and it prompted my Blip. Needless to say, there was a Disney quote contained in the message.It read as follows:
Disney Movie Quotes
"I think we dream so we dont have to be apart for so long. If we're in each others dreams we can be together all the time"- Pooh..
This brought a little tear to my eye.We miss you too PRINCESS, more than you will EVER know..After all and I quote:
Don't you understand [Tink]? You mean more to me than anything in this whole world!
-Peter Pan
We take comfort in the fact that she is doing what she loves to do - Dance is her pulse, her heartbeat, her every breath.It's the rhythm of her entire life.
SMARMY but from the heart!!!!!
