Today is World Mental Health Day & let me tell you... This experience did SO much for my mental health.

I used to LIVE for dance classes!! Class is where I thrived. 

This was such an incredible experience for a few reasons: 

✨ I got a healthy dose of nostalgia being back at @bdcnyc for the first time in 12 years!

✨ @murrclurr & @apparentlyimpretty were spectacular!!!

✨ You could feel the energy in the room. Energy only aspiring Broadway dancers exude! It's energetic but with a specific respect. Respect for the art, the music, the story, the choreographer, the audition journey to the stage, the teachers. 

✨ I wore my first pair of @laducashoes . My kitchen will be seeing them soon. 😜 

✨ I reconnected with something that brings me so much joy. Now I get to bring a little of that joy back home to my family & kids.
