Contrary to popular belief, I haven't been deniledis. I have been sidelined. In case you missed that fact through the past eight months of blogging, it's now in all of its printed glory. My first ever article for a magazine hits newsstands this week and I couldn't be more excited. I worked extremely hard on this article, which chronicles the development of my seemingly endless illness. Through the gentle guidance of my fantastic editor Abigail Rasminsky, I delved into the physical and emotional turmoil that EBV has brought up in me; at least all that could fit neatly into two glossy pages. PICK UP YOUR JANUARY ISSUE OF DANCE SPIRIT!!!!
Much to the disbelief of my parents (and my bank account) I received my issue at a very special moment. Are you ready for it? Tonight was my FIFTH visit to "Xanadu," which officially beats my previous record which was a tie between "Rent," and "Hairspray." The fantastic photographer Erin Baiano, who has taken spectacular photos over the past year for Dance Spirit (including the January cover) was one of my dates for the evening. Right before the show was about to begin, she pulled an issue out of her bag and laid it in my lap. A pretty cool moment indeed.
Ahh congrats! I can't wait to pick up a copy!

My daughter is on standby to go to B&N the moment it hits the newstands. I shall give her the go-ahead. Can't wait to see it. Congrats!
