Two Thriving Cities, Two Large Events, Many Huge Hearts

My heart is full, sensing deep gratitude for the support and love of our Nia world-wide community.

Reflecting on the past two days, I am in awe and filled with deep appreciation for the people who came to dance in support of Daniel Curtis and the Lone Star Paralysis Foundation, as well as the Colorado Red Cross. Sister cities Austin, Texas and San Antonio, Texas came together in back to back benefits that raised $1600 for these special people and organizations. 
Saturday in Austin the room was full, as teachers and students gathered for a rocking Nia Jam. Sunday afternoon’s event was in San Antonio, as once again Nia teachers and students from all over Texas raised the roof, opened their hearts, and danced with joy. 
I was blessed to be at both events, and I am humbled… filled with the love and dedication of so many beautiful people.

Daniel Curtis joined us in Austin at the end of class, sharing his story of devotion, gratitude and love for his mom, our own Nia Trainer Holly Natasi. There was not a dry eye in the room as Daniel shared the dedication that Holly has shown to his healing. A handsome, extraordinary man, Daniel touched everyone there with his brave story… and we all felt his divine grace and strength.

We each make a difference everyday in someones life, with our presence, our smile, our love… and this past weekend many lives were forever changed through the coming together of community… two thriving cities, two large events, many huge hearts.

Thank you seems so small for the emotion that is full in my heart. I love our world-wide Nia community and I thank you from the depths of that love.
We are all love.
