"Both abundance and lack of abundance exist simultaneously in our lives as parallel realities. It is our conscious choice which secret garden we will tend...when we choose not to focus on what is missing from our lives but are grateful for the abundance that's present- love, health, family, friends, work, joys of nature, and personal pursuits that bring us happiness- the wasteland of illusion falls away and we experience heaven on earth."

Dance Festival Parade

We went to the International Dance Festival parade on Monday and it was a lot of fun. Here's Halle gobbling down some cotton candy.
Before the parade started, there were performances in the street. This was the Japanese drums. Sorry for the shaky video. Neal was trying to hold the camera up high for the video while holding Halle in his other arm so she could see, and he said he had a bug land on his hand.

After the parade started, a storm came rolling in which fortunately didn't shed rain drops until it was finished. But the wind picked up so everybody's costumes were blowing around. This one is from China and I can imagine how difficult it was waving these fans in the wind.

These are the music players for China, and we don't actually know what this lady is playing. Here is Germany with some pretty cool moves. Mexico had crazy costumes, but their dance was really cool. Our camera doesn't really do the video justice with the sound.
