An update and a plug!



Well, the wait is over...and the big news is that I am employed as a dance therapist! Hooray! And there is more - I am also going to be apprenticing for a dance company! Hooray! Another lesson that you never know what unexpected blessings life may throw your way.

Starting in September I'll be working as a therapeutic teacher/dance therapist at a new preschool for children with autism. Within a year the programs will grow to include family and sibling therapy groups. I couldn't have asked for a more fitting job and it is strangely exhilarating to feel like a "real adult," as opposed to someone using school to hold off the real world. And as much as I have missed dancing regularly over the past couple of years, I am sooo excited to dance all of the time! My body, on the other hand, is preparing for some serious shock.

And on a totally different note, GO VEGETARIAN! J always sends me the goods when she runs across stuff online, and she sent this article today (I apologize, you will have to cut and paste because I am computer illiterate):

This is a great article on the many benefits of being a vegetarian - and I attest to them all, nearing year number seven as a no-meat eater. You feel great! It is cheaper! Meat production is scary!

So props to the veggies. Especially the hard core vegans out there who really have the whole thing down...I, on the other hand, could never ever give up my comfort dairy foods. Mmmmm, ice cream.

Now read the article and try vegging out for a day (ha, get it?!?). You won't be sorry you did!
