The Prairie Experience- Dedication

I dedicate this book to my family and friends who have encouraged me and literally have taken turns holding me up during some very difficult times in my life’s journey. If not for your love and support, I would not be dancing today.

I need to recognize two very special people who gave me what I have needed to continue, my parents. Momma, who taught me to use my inner strength and Daddy who taught me how to believe. Which are the foundation that brought me to where I am today.

We don’t make a photograph

just with a camera,

we bring to the act of photography

All the books we have read,

all the movies we have seen,

the music we have heard and all

the people we have loved
