A lot has happened. Like, a lot. Since Milwaukee, WI I have traveled to Cincinnati, Chicago, Nashville (to see the musical Newsies), Indianapolis, Louisville, Lexington, and Rhode Island for the Irish Dance National Championships.
I am quite pleased to announce that I finally made it to PC! It feels so good to be at this point. The completion of one goal motivates me to reach for the next!
This weekend will be my very first competition in PC. Lots of things change:
1. The stage will be bigger
2. I will only compete two dances, not four
3. There will be three judges instead of one
4. I will dance three steps instead of two
Goal for the weekend: "Don't let them know you're a newbie." (As my dance teacher says it)
It's all about the stage presence. I'm nervous. Sometimes I just want to break down and cry. And then I remember why I'm doing this. I love to dance. I love to move and use every muscle I have because it makes me feel alive. I love to use my physical strength to glorify my heavenly Father. I'm learning to love feeling weak because then I'm reminded,
"This is all I know how to say,
Hallelujah
You're my everything."
So proud of you. :)
