1 Year Since Brain Surgery.

So I'm a little late in posting a journal/blog whatever about this but yes a year has come and gone since having my back to back brain surgeries.
It was an emotional time. But also a good one. I was Invited to go to Jacksonville to dance in Workshops at Anais Belly Dance and Fusions, after the Lovely Anais saw me perform at the circus Hafla as the Jackalope.

A side not on the Jackalope Performance. Wow. I often look back at the Picture and Video and wonder what the Hell I was thinking! in a good way of course, but man of man, the amount of work that went into the costuming makeup and actual dance was astronomical. But it payed off. It was a Hit and I look Forward to doing it again next year.


So Going to Jacksonville. That was..different. I hadn't been since the last time AJ (my ex) and I were still together. It was the Weekend Michael Jackson Passed Away as well as the Premier of the 2nd Transformers Movie.
Either way it has been just about2 1/2-3 years give or take since I had been there. LOT of memories stirred up being there. I saw my friends again, some of them at least since it was a game night. But I think it gave everyone closure to the situation. I was so stressed and out of sorts I ended up having some difficulties while there and some medical issues, which sucked. But the room was nice, the workshops I DID take were amazing and I REALLY enjoyed the Hafla and I think My Performance came out wonderful. Since doing the more acting and emotion work with Eve and Greg I can SEE a noticeable difference in my dancing and I LOVE it.

So that was my weekend. It was a little rough, stressful, but also a wonderful experience.

As An Overview on the whole year. Wow. All that I have accomplished. I survived the surgery, got engaged to the man I love and will love forever. Found a studio where I can dance and share my dance skills and knowledge. I have done no less then 8 performances this year and still have a few more to come before 2012 starts. I have learned so much and through the good times, bad times, painful times, and amazing times, I have kept moving forward, learning and growing.
