After a life of trying to stifle my inner child, I realized that my inner child is worthy of as much nurturing as my adult self. To that end, I’ve learned to embrace my inner child. It’s OKAY to be a serious adult, but it’s equally important to hold on to some of the wonderful qualities from childhood. I’m a 40 something person whose inner child is 10 years old. I’m a wife, mother, grand mother, ballet student, former model, writer, photographer, singer, and lover of life. I hope to someday become a motivational speaker to help empower women. Mottos: 1) Dance because you LOVE it and don’t let the lack of support deter you. 2) Age is JUST a Number...So DANCE! , and 3) Passion to dance, Regardless of Age. Self expression through song, dance, writing (song poetry, stories, books).
