It’s Friday!! Time to fiesta!  

It’s been a fun week here at home as we celebrated Cinco de Mayo with some of our Tex Mex favorites, tackled another project or two and survived another week of e-learning!   Many of my dance students were prepping for high school dance team auditions (via video!) this week, so I spent MANY hours working with them on Zoom, answering texts and trying to be a cheerleader and counselor to them (and their Mamas!)  No matter what you were involved in when you were in high school…sports, dance, cheer, band, drama, etc…..I’m sure you can think back to how BIG these types of auditions were at the time….then add the stress of making them virtual!  Now, of course, we know that making that team or not probably worked out exactly the way it was supposed to, but when you are sixteen that type of sentiment usually gets a big ole’ eye roll.  Ha!  It was a good reminder to me that the things that seem BIG in my life right now to 30 something Bethany, will probably make 40 something Bethany laugh!  Whether this week’s biggest stress was a dance audition or something much more serious, I hope we all come out of this pandemic with a fresh perspective on what is important and gratitude for the everyday things!  Like all hard seasons, this too will pass, and we’ll be stronger and wiser for it!

So let’s recap the week!
