I love this! Wise, moving, honest — and with a beautifully light touch. Words and art touched my heart.

Beautiful and sort of sad. I felt for you and remembered our 7th grade dance where you danced with George and loved it so much. You are so incredible. I always love your work. Love to you and your family.

  Thanks so much, Beth. I can’t believe you remember that dance, too. Where it all started so many years ago…

    You’re welcome. We certainly had a good time, even though we were so shy!

Just seeing this one. Amazeballs…dancing has always been my happy place but since both knees were replaced and it didn’t turn out so well, I have not danced in a long time. But today I will put on some Fleetwood Mac and get up on the carpet in my living room and “cut a rug”!
