Who's ready for an embarrassing confession? You love those, right?
But first, a fun fact. I hang out with kids all day. In that process, I learn a few lessons. My daughter loves to dance. She always has. She cracks us up with her mock-ballet performances while belting whatever strange melody is pumping through her brain. I love it. She doesn't care what we think (even at 8 years old), and she's happy. A singing child is a happy one. A dancing child is a happy one.
So have you lost your dance or song?
If you have, let me suggest some therapy. Find yourself a room, an open one. Get out your favorite music. Crank it and belt to your heart's content while moving however you feel. That's right. You might feel stupid for the first two minutes or so, but if you let yourself go, layers of stress and age will melt right off.
My daughter is a genius.

Confession: I can't dance. So how the heck did I get through so many years of musical theater? That's a darn good question. I plastered a HUGE smile to my face and hoped people were looking there rather than at my COMPLETELY wrong footing.
