Ballet Shoes and Hotel Schools...

In early September I was offered a great opportunity, I'm doing graphic design and marketing for the School of Hotel Restaurant and Tourism College at NMSU.  It's been great.  I'm not used to having a real office in an office building yet, after working from my couch for five years; but it's an amazing opportunity and everyone is wonderful.  I get paid to do art.  It's so cool!  So find us on Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter ;)  But that's not my only cool thing!


The dance program at Gym Magic has been disjointed since our wonderful Miss Jackie had to step back as head of the program about two years ago (although she still teaches Rachey on Saturday).  So I was asked if I wanted to teach a technique class since my first degree was in Theater and Dance.  I have a tiny little class and they are dollies.  It's not easy to dance even basic things with my RA but I am so grateful that with all the treatment I can do enough so the girls can follow and do it along with me.  I cursed those meds all Summer but I wouldn't be able to do this with out them.  Still, nothing stops me from tub soaking for an hour when I get home in Epsom Salts.  The best part is having Rachey in my class.  She loves me so much and she tells all the girls that I can love them but I'll love her more, and she is soooooo right!


In the next few weeks I am going to be deciding if I want to do the dance thing more and relaunch their program.  With everything that has happened it's been hard as hell to focus on my grad school.  I'm grateful for these two bright spots in my life.
