Impatience is a sign of hurrying; hurrying is a sign of worrying; worrying is a sign of fear; and fear is a sign that someone has temporarily forgotten that it's never too late to change their thoughts and therefore their "things." And for these reasons, time will forever be on their side.
SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO DANCE
Sometimes you have to dance! "Happiness is a state of mind. It's not dictated by outward circumstances--really. Learning to see a situation as it is, not as you hoped or feared it would be, is one of the keys to being content."
Family.... dance... music... babies & breastfeeding... dance... yard sales... quilting... dance... movies... fashion... jewelry... dance theory... ebay... nutrition... the politics of dance... the stock market NOT....traveling...dancing in all forms... antiques... movies... home decorating.... philosophy.... health... dance videos... piano... friends....dance art... parenting... relationships... dance talk... shopping.... oh, did I mention dance?

“It is one of the most beautiful compensations of this life that no man can sincerely try to help another without helping himself.”
— Ralph Waldo Emerson
It's not the circumstances that dictate our life and present to the world who we are, but how we react to the circumstances is who we really are and how it helps our character/person to evolve. The more difficult the circumstances, the greater the lessons we are learning, as we evolve into whom we should be.

"The Soul is dyed the color of its thoughts. Think only on those things
that are in line with your principles and can bear the full light of
day. The content of your character is your choice. Day by day, what you
choose, what you think and what you do is who you become. Your
integrity is your destiny... It is the light that guides your way."
Heraclitus Greek Poet, Philosopher.
My absolutely stunningly gorgeous daughter's senior pic.
So much to say... so little time! Basically I live for my children, although you might not know that at first because it appears as though I live for dancing. It's all good, I tell ya, I am pretty much the luckiest lady in the world because I have an incredible family and a wonderful healthy hobby called dance that brings me passion and joy and good health.
My Husband Paul Jay Diamond, is a 5th grade teacher at Hooper Elementary in South Central Los Angeles. We've been married 29 years and we have 3 amazing kids, a big house in a great neighborhood with a 30-year mortage, a great dog and two cats. Our 3 beautiful children are... Greg, 25, CSUDH Business grad & Purchasing Coordinator of Robek's Juice Corporate Office in Manhattan Beach.... Melanie, 23, a beautiful soul..... and Rachel, 19, a Freshman at El Camino JC, a Barista at Coffee Bean, and a dance competitor. I love competing and performing and traveling to dance events. Worth mentioning: I now have two UCWDC Worlds titles... the first being 2003 Pro-Am Diamond Showcase World Champion!! (Yeah, check me out.) Um... Did I mention I like to dance???
LOOK AT HOW BEAUTIFUL AND GORGEOUS MY BABY GIRL IS!

In my daughter's eyes, I am a hero.
I am strong and wise,
And I know no fear.
But the truth is plain to see:
She was sent to rescue me,
I see who I wanna be, in my daughter's eyes."
