For Some Reason, It Just Feels Right to Share This Now . . .
I wrote this back on April 6, 2012. I don't know why, but I just feel like sharing it now, for some reason it feels right to do such a thing . . . and the response, which came just a day later. I sent it to the person who heads or headed the group, Ricci Milan (and he says he last name as "My-lan" and not like the city in Italy).

I've seen "Feet Don't Fail Me Now" twice. Y'all are amazing.
I'm a writer and one day hope to at least have a well-selling book.
I'm also a freelance writer - but I'll contact you about possible interview later.
I had no idea what to expect the first time you came to Lake Charles, LA. My family happened to have season Banner Series tickets that year. I was looking forward to you and to the Aluminum show. While the Aluminum show as cool and it was sold out, and extremely crowded.
However, I fell in love with FDFMN and Rhythmic Circus.
As an INFP and a creative person, I love the feelings I get from watching y'all.
I had a really bad day the second time you came to Lake Charles. However, nothing was going to stop me from seeing FDFMN again. I knew I would love the performance and I knew it would make me feel better.
I cannot explain it. I was not in love. I was not feeling well.
However, when Rhythmic Circus gets up on the stage and starts dancing, it fills my soul and my whole being with joy. My heart and soul and creative being are filled so full watching everybody and listening to the creative way everything is put together.
Even though I wasn't in love with anybody, it felt like I was totally in love - like I was filled up with love for somebody that I would never give up in my entire life.
I can't explain it, but your joy, your enthusiasm, your creativity, and your energy fill me up like that and I cannot imagine not going to see a show when you are in my area.
I'm always inspired to be more creative after seeing you, too. I go home energized with creativity and ideas.
FDFMN is that inspiring and awesome. Please, continue to do what you do! Please keep bringing joy to everybody! Please keep doing workshops with children to help them (as a Youth Ministry person and mentor, this is extremely important to me).
And, yes, Ellen for FDFMN!!! I want to see y'all on Ellen!
