Sometimes Other People Say It Better

Today in dance I had a student return. She hadn't been since before Christmas. She was anxious and just wanted to hide out in the corner. She finally told my assistant, "My feet are scared, they haven't danced in a long time."  Don't ya love it? Three year olds just have a way of saying things. I just love words and the way that they can be written or spoken to encourage, challenge, inspire, uplift, or bring laughter. Just wanted to share some things that have been speaking to me. Making me think. Making me pray. Making me laugh.
