Yay for Snow!

Jan10

Hey, tween girls! So January’s usually the month for snow . . . LOTS, that is! It’s the snowiest month for most major cities that usually get snow. Even though we’ve hardly gotten much here, it’s finally been coming down. How about for you?

Snowflakes are amazing . . . as light as a feather, but can stop traffic, too! I love how sparkly and intricate and glistening they are, and that no two are alike!

I loved growing up in Minnesota with all the snow and snow days from school! After a blizzard, there’d be a huge drift in front of our living room window where the snow would pile high. I also loved those gentle snowfalls, not even minding it being 20 below, too!

Whether it’s making snow angels, snow forts, or snowmen, or skiing and sledding, or just watching a snowfall, how about taking a second to stop and reflect on God’s wondrous creation! And for those who love winter, yay!!! Enjoy the snow! And if not much has yet fallen this month, I hope it does soon!

It’s National Dance Day!

Sep21

So who doesn’t love to dance??!! I mean… really! And there are so many great songs to dance to, too! Whether it’s jazz, swing, ballet, or whatever, it’s all just so fun! My fave is rock and roll. How about you? My dad was a great dancer, and I loved dancing with him when I was little. He had his own dance band, too!

In my book, The Heart to Dance, 12-year-old Alexis loves to dance, and jazz dance is her favorite. Even though she’s danced since she was four, she longs to dance with the world renowned Dance Company, but didn’t make her last audition. Since then, she’s worked long and hard for the upcoming one, but sprains her ankle two weeks before and is devastated once again. Will she recover and make it this time?

So Happy National Dance Day, and I hope that you celebrate and dance the day away, too!
