Thank you to all those who have shared so generously this week with condolences, experiences, stories, etc. I do a weekly email newsletter pertaining to dance and related items of interest - to about 330 addressees - many of whom forward it on to their own lists - one radio station sends it on to their list of about 350. During the floods in Houston in June I sent out a series of flood reports comprised of stories of support, sharing, and practical sources of help - these were well received; the June floods seemed truly terrible but pale in comparison to events this week. This week again I've done the same thing again with the Sept. 11 tragedies - collecting and sending on words of hope, encouragement, etc. (I've included a number of the wonderful messages that have been on this list as well as some from the English Dance list) as well as offerings from people on my newsletter list; some of these I've collected at: http://home.att.net/~diannashipman/Sept11Tragedies.html I love to dance - but even more I enjoy the sense of community that dancing can create. A thank you again to all those who have shared so generously, Dianna Dianna L.
