An explosion of inspiration

June 17, 2010

An explosion of inspiration

Sometimes, when I think I can't do something, I just pull out this photo from the 1982 national figure roller skating championships, and I just know: VICTORY IS IN REACH!

Reachforthestars 

And even though I placed 22nd out of 26, and it looks like my foot is growing out the side of my upper thigh, I still believe.

    And you gotta love the United Championship States. They sound WAY better than our States. After all, they’re CHAMPIONSHIP ones.

    I {heart} crappy text design.

    I think you could have some fun turning your outfit into inspiration for a scrapbook layout. Complete with dangling ribbons.

    Oh man, in that dress, at that time, I skated to instrumental portions from Yes “Roundabout” (that was my opening music) and a bit of Styx (instrumental, i don’t know what song) and a segment from the Santa Esmerelda suite, and then ended with this classic Russian ditty that Scotty Hamilton skated to in the 1980 Olympics.

    Nice.

    Interesting how the colors come back into fashion – they are on trend for now!! Relish the memories of success – that you participated and gave your all.Pretty darn awesome…And by the way, I would totally be up to some rollerskating now at age 50. I relish in the fact I can say Relish twice in one paragraph but also that I can stand on wheels (or blades) [sidebar: each year I vote for an ice skating holiday party at my office and drag my husband out for a spin at an outdoor rink] Just because I can!! Well Done Champ!!

    So when can we see the scrapbook page that picture is going to make it onto? You have to tell that story! Music composition and all.
