- Dance Competition, Dance Camp, Danced With the Stars

- Took a risk … made new friends
2. Did you keep your new year’s resolutions, and will you make more for next year?

- Simply rediscovering the wonderful world of music via Internet Radio “At Work With Star 104”

26. What kept you sane?
- Writing, family, friends and dancing (each equally important to my sanity!)
27. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2010.
- “If you dream it … it can happen”. 2010 was the year that wishes came true for me.
- Friends are forever. 2010 will forever be The Year of My Friends as I reached out and made new friends, nurtured my existing friendships and reconnected with old friends. I have friends that feel like family and family that feel like friends.
- I live a blessed life.
Happy Greetings to All and to All a Great Year!!
