"Do not pray for rain if you are going to complain about the mud." Proverbs

“Mud-pies gratify one of our first and best instincts. So long as we are dirty, we are pure.” -Charles Dudley Warner

Before I was humiliated I was like a stone that lies in deep mud, and he who is mighty came and in his compassion raised me up and exalted me very high and placed me on the top of the wall. -Saint Patrick

Jesus said, "I have come that you may have life, and have it to the full.   -John 10:10

I want to live on the edge! I want to leave a legacy for my child. Not an empty "human" legacy. But a legacy of living daily in God's Presence and of bringing His very Life to people in this world. For my daughter to know and truly say, “Hey, my mom—she stood for something; she gave back to this world. She showed me how to live life to the fullest. She taught me how to be a part of the solution rather than the problem.” This is how I want to live today! I'm up to the challenge and living life on the edge".

What can I say....I guess I am a stage mom! Few people know that I was once a "theatre major" in college. I actually had a choice between a full sports scholarship or a drama scholarship. I chose drama! So it is definitely in my blood.
 I started Abbagael at a Dance Academy this past January. She is a natural and she loves to dance. I will never "drive" her into anything. But I also, as her mom, have a sense as to her inborn talents. And dance and drama are definitely right up her alley. Anyway, this Academy is also a Christian Dance Troupe and Drama Group based out of a local church. They put on several shows a year. And this past spring they put on "GODSPELL". With real rehearsals and 3 shows, it was quite an event. Abbagael and the girls in her dance class were a part of several scenes. And in the "creation scene" with adult ballet dancers, Abbagael was the Moon. Interesting fact is: she has always particularly loved the moon (i guess she is a "light" that shines in the darkness). It was amazing! I am glad that she shares her mommy's love and passion for the arts....
