Depression Part 1

I made this video before my video studio was set up.  The pain of the depression had become so heavy, I was desperate to reach out and express myself.  I did not feel I could wait for my studio setup to be complete.  Expressing myself and sharing gives me strength to endure.  We all have moments of depression when dealing with a cancer diagnosis, but there are ways to keep that pain from consuming us, to prevent the darkness from taking center stage.

Laura’s Belly Dance Premier

At the time this video was shot I had only been belly dancing for six months.  I made the commitment to perform shortly after receiving my third cancer diagnosis.  This video is not about my “technical skill as a dancer.”  It’s about keeping the energy of my life force moving forward.  It was my way of saying, “I choose life,” and in that regard it was a very personal and meaningful milestone.
