How i'm feeling today ...

Ballet on the Brain

I’ve got ballet on the brain as of late, and I’m loving it!

Perhaps it is due to the fact that I’m dancing more now than I have in the past 3 1/2 years –combined!

Maybe because I’m breaking in my first pair of pointe shoes since I was a freshman in college.

And maybe it is the fact that I’ve seen Swan Lake twice in less than a week!

{Yup, you read that right! Once with an adorable boy that stayed awake for the WHOLE thing & even showed me his variation of ‘swan arms’ and then one more time just because I HAD to see both casts.}

I just LOVE ballet! It is so easy for me to become simply {Obsessed} with it. It is like second nature. I catch myself drifting in and out of my ballet-way-of-life.

My mother says it’s an addiction.

I say it’s a passion.

Whatever it is, it has me walking on clouds, and regardless of the blisters, it feels great!

I hope you each take a moment today to ReMeMbEr your PaSSioN and feed your aMbiTioNs!

EnJoY!

**Shameless plug: Ballet West’s Swan Lake is running through the end of the week at Capital Theater and you should be there! It's Amazing!**

***Random Side Note: Did you know that when Tchaikovsky died, he thought he was a failure? Yes, that’s right, the composer of all the music for Swan Lake, The Nutcracker, Romeo and Juliet, and Sleeping Beauty, just to name a few, thought he was a failure! We should all be a little less harsh on ourselves!***
