For fun ballet and diabetes videos, photos and blog posts check me out at A Diabetic Ballerina

I thought it would be fun to have a regular dance and diabetes related photo from rehearsal every Friday! So here is my first one.

I never have talked about my tattoo but here it is. It's my medical alert bracelet that is stuck with me for life, just like diabetes. On one side it says "Type 1 Diabetic" and the other says "I Kept Going".

The quote came from a conversation I had with my mother many years ago when I was recovering from a foot surgery to remove a damaged nerve. She asked me that once I had achieved my dreams and was being interviewed for Dance Magazine what would I say was the secret to my success. I told her “I Kept Going” To this day I have unhappy, frustrating, even life threatening times but I know that if I keep going even if just by an inch I will make it through.

Very encouraging words! I admire your attitude in life...
"Keep going..." Words I utter each day after a devastating accident and surgery a few years back rendering me unable to walk for many many months...
"I kept going..." Thats why at present Im physically and emotionally stronger.
"Will keep going..." since opportunities are endless!
Youre stories are truly wonderful...I wish you all the best!
