Journaling:

It all began when I was ten years old.

My nose pressed against the window

of a dance shop, displayed among all the

frilly little tutus were the prettiest little

pair of pink satin toe shoes I had ever

seen. I ran home right away to tell mom

I found the perfect Christmas present for

me.

From that day on ballet became the most

important thing in my life. For the

next two years, I did nothing but breath,

eat, and sleep ballet. At night I would

dream I was the next Clair in the

Nutcracker Suite or dance the role of

Giselle, and of course I danced with

the grace of a feather floating in the air.

The first year was a dream come true,

mom had signed me up for ballet, I

practiced, practiced and practiced

some more, I loved ballet, the grace,

being able to express yourself in

movement. I couldn’t wait to come

home from school and turn on the

music and create my own dances

The second year I met a friend, she

became my best friend. To spend time

with her I started missing my dance

classes, all of a sudden, dance was not

the most important thing in my life.

Mary and I had discovered boys!

My dream of becoming a dancer was

put aside for a time.

As for that little girl that had, her nose

pressed against the window so very long

ago. She is still around somewhere. She

comes out of hiding whenever she sees the

Nutcracker on TV. Her eyes light up just

like a Christmas tree and she remembers

how it was when she floated through the

air as light as a feather….
