I tweeted about this @starncrossbones today. I hope you raise all the money you need to help Hannah dance again! I say that as a human being, as a semi-artist, and as someone who would love to dance again someday, herself. My story (if you want to call it that ) is nowhere near as touching as Hannah’s, but I know what it is to want to dance but to have emotional barriers to overcome first.

[...] One of the things that touched my heart this past week was reading a blog post by Sarah Lacy. She wrote about a friend Hannah who loved to dance when she was little but had to give it up after her drug addicted mother went into a fit of rage after a recital and told her she was not allowed to dance anymore. Sarah is now raising money so her friend can start taking dance lessons again. You can read her story here. [...]

I completely understand what you mean, Natalie and I agree. It’s internal changes that really make way for true change.

What was hard to express in just a single blog post, but something that she and I discussed the other day, is that she feels like she can finally transform what happened into a positive experience. You should see the change in her. It’s wondrous.

And she’s already dancing again, in her living room, her couch being used as a barre

I’m crying. I understand Hannah’s story very deeply. And while I’m so moved by your intention to raise money for her dancing, I also want her to know that it’s not money that will help her to dance again…

She needs to find the love of it again in her heart, but by understanding that the experience she was given will make her love for dance stronger.

That her need to express herself and channel this love is more profound and more purposeful because she has suffered and she has struggled…

When you are let down by the one person who should have been your best friend – the woman that gave you life – because of an addiction that robs you of the person they really are…it is a real journey to get to a place where you feel strong enough to be alone in the world.

You are so beautiful for wanting to open a door for her. But if she is not ready internally, the door will be impossible for her to pass through no matter how wide you open it.

Yet incredible opportunities will come to her when she pivots from that place of sadness to one of optimism…and a knowing that she is more than her past. She is more than her relationship with a mother that wasn’t strong enough. That she is worthy and infinitely more wise precisely because of her pain.

I wish her all the love and peace and confidence she deserves. And I will spread this story as a way of hopefully sending her more and more until she cannot help but leap towards her dream.

Thank you for telling this story.

Well, now you’ve done it. I am sitting here weeping on my keyboard. I don’t have the 120 for the poster – wish I did, it’s gorgeous (and reminds me of my own never realized dancing dream.) But I will gladly contribute. What do those classes cost, by the way? What”s the total we’re aiming for?

Gonna tweet this around and post it on FB. And Hannah, love: It’s time for you to dance.
