Twitter: Get Well Cards 2.0
So, I spent last night in the hospital, where I found out I have a UTI (don’t get any ideas, it isn’t from what you’re thinking) and a kidney infection in my left kidney.
When I tweeted this last night, I had no idea I would receive such an outpouring of kindness, concern and get-well wishes from my friends and followers. Waking up in the middle of the night and seeing your messages made me feel almost as good as the Percocet did. Really, it was heartwarming. There is no way I could ever properly thank you all.
Last night and today, Twitter was my mailbag of get well cards, minus the cheesy artwork and envelopes. And the best part about these “cards” is that they’ll never get lost or thrown out. I was really blown away by how many people reached out just to say they were thinking of me. Below is just a smattering of goodness (edited together very poorly) from some of the wonderful, caring people in my Twitter network:

Help Me Raise Money for Susan G. Komen
As some of you know, I am a specialty choreographer for the senior company at The Dance Place, Inc. in Worcester, Mass. Every year in November, the studio puts on a beautiful show to benefit Susan G. Komen for the Cure. This year, I have taken it upon myself to go a step further for my dancers and the foundation.
I have been secretly visiting the studio each Sunday for the past two months and creating a surprise dance piece to give as a gift to the owner of The Dance Place. She’s had a few rough patches over the past couple years and we wanted to remind her that she has a strong, caring family of dancers who love her to pieces.
While I am not asking any of you to attend the show on Friday, I am asking you for any help you can provide as a donation to our cause. As a group, we want to present a combined check to our studio director at the finale of the benefit, and anything you can do will help us make a difference. Please Thank you so much for your support- it means the world to us.
