vs.
Option 2  Wed June  2nd,3rd, 4th,

I'm not sure what to do.  Please pray for me to help me know which is the overall best decision to make.   I hope I can wait things out a little longer before they ask me for a decision. ​ But I feel I need your prayers and such, so we all can feel good about which is the better overall option.  

I'm working on a place, but if you know of a church that would be willing to work with me..let me know. 
​
-I will need parent support/volunteers and help similar to last year.
-I'm looking for some businesses who are willing to sponsor/make a donation in exchange for marketing/ announcing their name on the program and on my website like last year.

-I am adding more classes to the dances this year, where it was a solo last year, it will now be 5-8 dancers per dance.  This also means more costumes to purchase, which I am supplying through some funds saved from last year and some personal $. 
Our plan is to have specific classes learn a dance, then choose those who know the movement by heart and are able to be there for the  actual show.  We will give as many kids a chance as possible.  Costumes will be rented to help with upkeep and reused.  I am trying to make it as affordable as possible. 
-I will cont. to keep you posted....but this is where we are headed and what we are hoping to accomplish. Profits and donations will help pay for the venue, the maintenance and upkeep of future shows, company/competition expenses, costume upkeep/repair, alterations, etc.. and set props.  

-Our hope is that with more kids learning these dances in class,
it will reduce the need for Saturday practices... will become a fun tradition, help kids grow in their skills, increase confidence to try out for company, keep the excitement of performing alive, and provide a memorable event for our community/families. ​​

Increase vitamin and mineral intake ( I have my daughters who are 12+ taking prenatal vitamins, b/c they have a more well rounded dosage of vitamins and minerals than other vitamin supplements.  

-Vit A strengthens the cell wall so bad germs/viruses are less likely to get in...
-Vit D defends the germs/ viruses  and destroys the virus/germs. 
-Zinc prevents the germs/viruses from reproducing
-Vit C does alot of things...it repairs and strengthens the immune system reduces inflamation, help flush your body of toxins, and much more.

-Hydrogen peroxide kills germs and gargling with it helps expell mucus/ soar through and congestion. (sometimes my throat will feel worse for a day.. but it helps it clear it up faster....vs. lingering on...)

-Learn more about your immune system watch video below..

Thank you for being cautious and not coming to dance when you feel sick.  Thank you for your love and support!  Thank you for your prayers!  I pray for all you, for your families constant safety and protection and good health. 
AND  I do see and feel the healthy benefits of being together and dancing together. :)

I love how Dr. Shiva educates you about your body and how it works... He speaks up about Truth, Freedom and Health.

Thank you for your support and Trust in me and our teachers.  We had a Great first Week.  Keep taking your Vitamins A, D,7 C, and Zinc.   I refuse to let Fear Hold us Back.  I have felt more Faith and hope simply by seeing our dancers in class this week.  We can be strong and healthy together.  We can overcome fear by seeking to choose healthier foods, activities, and educating ourselves on preventative medicine/ vs letting the new educate us.
