ABOUT POINTE 121
In ballet, focusing on the correct focal point is imperative to keep us from spinning out of control. Those who have committed themselves to dance need to know there is someone who cares about their future, whom they can trust, that is willing to come alongside them. In order for one to not miss out, access to a professional is needed to shine a light on the practical steps required to rightly progress on what can be a difficult and even dangerous journey.
Have you ever feared missing out? My goal is to help each person within my realm of influence to have frequent access to the specific guidance that it takes professionals years to learn. Demystifying the seasons and transitions that you or your student(s) face allows you to choose and stay on the right path of preparedness for you.
WHY THE NAME POINTE 121
Where does my help come from from? We all need help but “where” or more specifically “who” our help comes from is as important as whether or not we will receive it. It could mean the difference between side-stepping without progress or stepping up. Psalms 121 powerfully states
When I lift my eyes up… My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.
I’m blown away by that! This tells me i can trust Him because in Him all things were made. If my help comes from the Lord, I can not fail. I have chosen to give myself to the process that He has guided me through and it has given me the vision to do the same for others. i want to be a voice of tempered truth as you step in stride with fulfilling your own calling.
