She ROCKS the Michael Jackson Moves! Thriller, Beat It & Billie Jean

I've waited a long time to do this. I've seen her through so much with her beautiful connection to Michael Jackson's healing spirit energy.

Honestly, if it was not for her connection, her faith and her perseverance, I don't think I would have ever found my true path.

Children do that for you. I love my kids with every breath, every cell, and every beat of my heart.

You're about to get a lot of reasons why I do what I do - it's because she does what she does.

It's not just about the moves, though she started out on 0 dance lessons, and taught herself with the help of videos from a dancer who became an internet friend. Since then she has taken many dance classes, including a year of ballet at Colorado State University.

She pushed through the Jr. High School years of merciless teasing. She pushed down the doubts in her own mind as to whether her talent was "good enough" to even begin to represent Michael's mind-blowing abilities. There have been tears, sheer tenacity, sneers and jeers, and times of crushing disappointment. I'm most proud of her for sticking with it all these years. It ain't been easy. As the song goes, "They'll take your soul if you let them, but don't you let them." You've Got a Friend ~James Taylor.

Beautifully enough, Michael Jackson recorded that song too. The words are very important to remember.

There will always be people trying to knock you down. Just keep getting back up and pushing ahead. Their voices will grow quieter and quieter until you can't hear them anymore at all.

She's my inspiration. She learned to pay tribute to Michael Jackson from the inside out.

Not to brag....but....ok, to brag...

From the time she was 2 years old, she has understood the beauty that is Michael's heart. It all began with the 1993 SuperBowl Half-time show. I guess that's when the light turned on most brightly and she absorbed the GLOW that is Michael's message. She went around our small home singing Heal the World, and loved to put the headphones on to thoroughly immerse herself into the phenomenon of HOPE that she heard as Michael.

I can go back in my mind and hear her little 2 year-old voice emphasizing "For you and for ME!" over and over during the last lines of "Heal the World."

She's healed MY world, over and over.

So Jasmine, this one's for you Baby Guuuuurl. I thank you. I love you more and more forever! And I especially thank you for turning on "the MichaeLight" for your mama.

Look how many people you have brought such JOY to, just by doing what was in your heart! I am very sure that he is smiling down on you from Heaven, so proud and so touched that you have understood him and care enough to pay tribute to him, not just in the dance, but in your daily life. You live his message in so many ways. Bless you, Baby! Keep Shining.

I love you so much. ~Mom~

I hope this has brought you JOY as well.

It is so much fun to be able to share her talents with you!

You never know what your kids will aspire to - a spark becomes a flame - and we as parents get to watch them work their MAGIC!

Help them to keep their dreams alive, whatever they may be. It is possible that their dreams will fuel yours as well. We all want our kids to have things better than we did. Keep Shining and you'll make this world a better place.

Thank you for healing my world, Baby Girl!

Have an awesomely so right day...
