Living Like a Loved One; A Journey of Healing

I invite you to follow my day to day discoveries as I begin Living Like a Loved One, I lost my Uncle to cancer a year ago in late September. It's been a challenging healing process for the entire family, and I've decided that it doesn't have to be that difficult. During the next year, I will take the most special memories of my Uncle and bring them back to a reality in my day to day life. I hope this brings comfort and enlightenment to all who subscribe.

Growing Relationships - Day 121 of 365

This post is for January 26th, 2011

MEMORY -

As a child, I saw Pete as an Uncle. The man in my life whom I could do no wrong. As a teen, I began to see him as my dad's brother, learning more about where he came from and whom he was as an individual. As an adult, I saw him as my friend, realizing our relationship was maturing and solidifying by choice not by blood.

APPLICATION -

While teaching my study group of 8, I felt a special bond happening within the group. Beyond the "teacher/student" realm, was a group of adults gathered together sharing information and learning from each other. Conversation was knowledgable but not always dance related. Special moments full of laughing, questioning and sharing. Special moments I'll forever hold dear to my heart. Wether teacher OR student, we are good people sharing good times.

REFLECTION -

I teach them dance, they teach me enjoyment ..... I guess it goes hand in hand.
