Watching Sasha Obama Twirl with her Dad in My Dress!

I was on my way home from The City when I heard.

To be specific, I was driving my car down Main St. feeling a bit sorry for myself that I had to drop by my office at eight o'clock at night and finish up some work for a deadline. Fashion deadlines, as ridiculous as it sounds, are taken pretty seriously.

I heard my phone text ring.

Moping into my office I checked to see if it was my kids, but suprisingly it was someone I work with. She sent me a link to check out with the question "Is this our dress?".

I sat down at my desk, and watched the You tube Link.

I watched Gloria Estefan introduce the President of The United States.

I watched the First Family stand up from the audience and approach the stage.

I watched Sasha Obama turn from Jennifer Lopez and stand proudly in front of everyone.

The girls have such grace and confidence!

I watched Sasha Obama move in front of everyone, standing center stage. She was in my grey chiffon number! I yelped! Then I heard myself yelling, "Sasha is wearing my dress!" She hugged her Mom and I watched her Dad twirl her around and dance with her as the music played. I had to watch it a few times to comprehend that I was watching the President of The United States dancing with his daughter wearing a dress from my Sally Miller Couture Collection.

Having been a dance teacher to children and being so passionate about self expression through movement, the moment was not lost on me that she chose to wear my dress on a night that was all about Celebration with Music and Dance!

Funny, how moment to moment Life can unfold with such surprises.

Last New Year's, I made a public announcement to my girlfriends, that I would ride the Roller Coaster with my eyes wide open and my hands in the air....it's mostly working. I cannot lie. There are times I still find myself with hands clenched tight on the safety bar.

But I do know that when I Let Go, I have so much more Fun!
