Day 257

Today I took the boys to KDGC... The place where I spent more of my growing-up years than anywhere else, besides home.

The place where I learned to do handsprings and aerials and cast-handstands. Where I perfected my pirouettes, where I taught little girls to plié and jete.

There, I learned that pushing myself made me strong and that friends are more important than trophies.

And there I met Kathi... An amazing woman and mama to three great boys/men who also - as a most incredible mentor - has turned out hundreds (thousands?) of strong, confident women.
