I LOVE Joannie Rochette

Well it has been weeks since I have written.  Two weeks ago, I attended both Joe Erwin's memorial in Orlando and my step-grandfather funeral in Kentucky within a 48 hour period.  Since returning to LA,  I have been taking time to be still and contemplate my own life.  What do I really want to do next?  At each memorial I heard the words "pay attention to your life."  What's important in yours?

Tonight I just watched the skating of the women's short program.
Joannie Rochette of Canada skated an amazing program after dealing with the passing of her mother just two days ago on Sunday.  Actually she skated an amazing program.  It is a personal best for her.

Having been someone who's own mother passed away while I was a teenager, my heart goes out to her.
I cannot imagine what it took for her to get out on that ice and do a performance like that.

Bravo Mademoiselle.
