Hello Everyone! ❤️
It's a funny thing about dreams. Sometimes they find you in the most unexpected ways, at the most unexpected times. This picture was taken almost a year ago when Doug gave me a necklace with a silver swan on it for my birthday. Amazing, awesome, wonderful guy that he is! At the time, I'd just discovered something called Silver Swans, a program for seniors who take ballet.
Well, over the past year, I've been slowly making my way back to ballet classes - first online - then private lessons in person - and since the first of the year a weekly adult ballet class at a local studio.
And . . . today, after completing a special training program, I learned I qualify to receive the license from the Royal Academy of Dance to teach Silver Swans classes!!!
I'd give all the world to tell my most special teacher, Jack Clause, some of you have heard about for so long and I wrote about in "That Certain Something," on my blog:

He was the one who first set me on fire with love of ballet in that Honolulu studio 50 years ago now. Some have asked why I never opened a ballet studio. Well, I wasn't drawn to teach kids. Like Jack, I wanted to teach adults but there was never a way to see that happening. So, over the years, I've focused on other forms of dance which have also been wonderful and a blessing to share with some of you:)
But . . . it turns out I was supposed to teach ballet after all - just not until I was 76 as a Silver Swan!!!
I love God.
Whatever your dream is . . . don't ever give up!!!!!!!!!
