SYTYCD

I just LOVE So You Think You Can Dance! Really! That's all. I just simply wanted to proclaim my love for this show. It takes me on a roller coaster of emotion through movement and dance. I mean seriously, I love love love it! Last night was the first voting show and I voted probably 10 times! Results show is tonight. I hope my faves don't get voted off!!

Cuba

My dad sent me this link that has some very cool pictures of different cities in Cuba. So far, I have only looked at the ones from his home town, Sancti Spiritus. There are two albums for his town. All the pictures I have seen of this town have been from my family and in black and white. It was nice to see everything in color. What a great thing this photographer did to bring back memories and a piece of personal history to those who had to flee their homeland and will, most likely, never be able to go back.

Faith

Faith is a powerful thing. It is also something I think is too often tied into religion and God. Of course, it has its place in Christianity, Buddhism and other religious parties but I believe faith is more encompassing that just religion. I believe you can have faith in the universe, in destiny and in people. Or maybe people's souls. Wherever one's faith lies, I hope every person has faith in something; believes in something enough that they feel it in their souls. Those who don't I call lost souls. I can't feel their pain but I can see it in their eyes and causes me pain of another kind. My heart goes out for all the lost souls that are close to me and even those I have only met briefly. I pray for these lost souls every day. I pray that they find something to believe in. I am a realist but I also believe in a greater power. God, the universe, karma...call it what you want but I think every soul needs something to believe in and what I pray for is that every lost soul can find that faith. It brings peace. It brings security. It brings confidence. It's faith that allows you to find comfort in life and with yourself.
