Absolutely stunning pictures! YOu’re right, the one of T&T with the sun behind them IS fantastic! Sounds like it was all a lot of fun. YOu’ll have to wear those boots here so I can check them out.

Ness, You are an amazingly beautiful and articulate woman. This post brought tears to my eyes and I am so happy that you have found such a creative outlet for the gamut of emotions you feel. I love how eloquently you have expressed yourself and am proud of the way you can put all your proverbial shit out there for people to see. Your sense of honesty and realness is truly inspiring. It is commendable that while you do not subscribe to religion you are so supportive of people that do. You are truly my favorite person. <3

Susan, that’s so humbling. Thank you! I agree, Jamie is an amazing, open person, and she loved your class.

I remember the first time you came to boudoir, too, and I remember thinking you danced like an elegant fairy.

Vanessa, I finally had a moment to read this tonight, and I’m so grateful for it. It’s perfect. I want to make it required reading for all new students. I had your friend Jamie in my last 101 session and she opened up from the start, allowing all the others to see into the heart of Divine from the first moment, because you prepared her. I know that’s supposed to be my job, but I think hearing it from another student made them feel at ease and ready to love and be loved more than I ever could. They cheered so loud for each other!

I remember watching you dance in my first boudoir classes and loving your style, wanting to know how you did what you did. I hope our paths cross again soon. Thank you!

That brought tears to my eyes.
Ness~ That’s exactly what it’s all about…your very own kind of a reverent Easter Mass. And every other day… your very own kind of walk with him, it doesn’t look, sound or feel like anyone else’s. It’s your own and it’s beatiful and guess what, HE loves it!
I’m not preaching I promise. I just wanted to tell you that.

Rebekah, thank you. I know you understand the magic at Divine, and I love that you are a huge part of it. I’ve been trying to write this post for over a year, but that video just made it spill over. I am pretty emotional right now, and every time I watch that video I cry. It is just so beautiful and powerful.

Such an incredible post, Vanessa…putting into words that effect that Divine seems to have on people. When I entered the studio a little over a year ago, I never dreamed how much it would change my life. All I know is that I instantly knew that I was there to stay. Something amazing was happening and I wanted to be a part of it.

And I’ll never, ever in my entire life forget your dance in the red shoes and hat!!

And wow…that video of Jamie and Susan blows me away. Every time I watch it I fixate on something different. This time it was that close up of (Susan’s?) feet in an inversion, spiraling down the pole…
