Jeremiah 32:27
27 “I am the Lord, the God of all mankind. Is anything too hard for me?
2 Corinthians 1:4
4 who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.
Isaiah 51:12
“I, even I, am he who comforts you. Who are you that you fear mere mortals, human beings who are but grass
The LORD is with me; I will not be afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?

Patrick Swayze took my heart in the 80’s. God rest his soul. I began my professional dance career in 1984. My friend Rex who was a master in Adagio, could give Swayze a run for the money though. Yes, Rex was that hot. Rex was the first ballet scholarship at the college of the Performing arts, Philadelphia, in the 1980’s. Rex was compared to Mikhail Baryshnikov. I remember my first lift on the dance floor in Carney’s after the performance at Pulsations. ” Donna, just run to me, push-off, grab my wrists and arch.” I replied, “Rex we are on the dance floor?” Rex said, “Just do it.” It was very easy as I did acrobatics and ballet as a young child. My first bird was born. Yes, they do the same lift in the movie.
Then Rex and I took it to the shore in Longport, New Jersey. I learned many lifts that he did with his sister Lori.
Yes, I did have the time of my life with Rex! That is another story yet to be told.

My City Of Ruins- Bruce Springsteen
Good ol’ Bruce, You can always pick a song, listen and apply the words to it in your life’s moments.
The last time I saw Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band was at JFK Stadium, Philadelphia Amnesty International’s Human Rights Now concert in 1988. It included Sting, Peter Gabriel,Tracy Chapman, Youssou N’Dour and Joan Baez. I was working at One on One Sports Training Center and Larry Magid provided tickets for a dozen of the staff as he was Mike Wood’s client. I took my son who was six months old at the time in a front carrier papoose sling,
I had earplugs for my son but I remember him waking up to Bruce singing.
Those were the days back in Philly. My recollection is vivid as I remember sitting to the seats stage left. There wasn’t a bad seat in JFK though.
Let us all Rise Up Now. Below is Bruce singing in Philadelphia, September 3 2012, about the empty space, value of life, preciousness of time and necessity of love as you get older. I just got the goose bumps. I picked this video for a reason.

Anne Bryan, 24, PA Academy Of Fine Arts Student, Remembered.
Anne was shopping at the Salvation Army Thrift Store at the time of the building collapse. Anne was the youngest victim who died in the Philadelphia building collapse on 22nd and Market Streets.
Her family has released a statement,
A brilliant and caring young woman just entering the prime of her life. She was an incredibly kind and loving person and her death has left a hole in the hearts of all who knew her, an extremely talented artist, who “possessed a passion for the arts and an ability to find beauty in everything around her. Anne lived her life with an open heart. She gave herself to her family, friends and anyone in need of help. Her generosity was limitless. No one could ask for a better daughter, sister or friend.”
