Dancing through life, the final 31 days of 2020. —Day 4—
I truly miss traveling. In 2019 I honestly lost count of how many times I traveled for work to perform. It was once a month and some months up to three weekends a month—I loved every minute of it and I miss it dearly. The lockdown happened 3 days after returning from Minneapolis which turned out to be my last 2020 tour and the last time I performed on stage in front of audiences in March. I was living my dream…
Looking back to when I graduated from college, I had decided not to pursue a professional dance career after experiencing a lot of audism in dance and instead focused on my career for several years as a chemist in the pharmaceutical industry in San Diego. I loved my job, I loved my life, I was grateful for what I had but I felt something was missing. I still had a dream to perform while traveling the world and dancing in a company with other Deaf dancers like me. While it seemed impossible at the time…Imagine my delight when that dream came TRUE!
I count my blessings and grab the opportunities in the little time I have in safely exploring new places in my hometown and revisiting beautiful places that I haven’t seen since I was a child. This makes me appreciate what I have, live authentically and seize opportunities. Continue to spread positivity, love and happiness because only light drives out the darkness. Once we get through this together, I look forward to my next flight out.
