I love to learn. I was one of the strange young ones that looked forward to school because I was fascinated with the new information presented to me. Learning through change has never frightened me, but has intrigued me, as it has been the spice of life. I don't like to be bored, so I…
DetailsOnce again another senseless act of terrorism has occurred; this time in France. You've probably heard of the driver who plowed people down at the Bastille Day celebration yesterday. Horrific, evil, and inexcusable…and though the driver was killed by police, the damage has been done, and dozens of people lost their lives or were injured. …
DetailsI’m still flabbergasted at how negative the news coverage is in the media. Every detail of horrible events must be laid bare, and we never hear a word about anything inspiring that occurs. I find it hard to believe that nothing good happens in the world. Why must we focus on the tragedies? How about…
DetailsLast weekend was SUCH A HIGH! We danced and played all weekend long; what a fabulous time was had celebrating America’s birthday! Thank you for joining me! One of the songs we danced to in the Independence Day parades was TRY EVERYTHING, from the movie Zootopia (make sure you see this movie!! It’s one of the…
DetailsWho would’ve thought we could LINE DANCE in a parade? I never did, that’s for sure. Line dancing is done in each person’s own area on the dance floor.

Since we can’t control the vast majority of situations that occur – we can ONLY control our reactions to them – when we are confronted with challenges, we often “freak out”.

DetailsHow easy is it for you to say, "I'm Grateful!" every day? When things go well? When events don't go the way we want them to? When life TANKS? I have this picture as my screensaver on my phone, so I see it multiple times a day (sometimes multiple times an HOUR) and yet I…
DetailsI dance with HUNDREDS of you every week, in classes and at evening dances. Each and every time we get together, there’s something missing: DRAMA. In it’s place? PEACE. I see you laughing, talking, dancing, and basically being in healthy, happy relationships with each other. Repeatedly I’ve seen and heard of problems being solved between…
DetailsHave you heard that people line dance as young as 4, and as old as…well, I’m not sure!? Varonne has been dancing for quite a while, and tonight we’ll be celebrating her 92nd BIRTHDAY at our dance at the West Chicago VFW 6791. Come join the party! She’s asked for no presents, just dances with the fellas! We have a…
