Alexandra's Gift
I love writing for young people. They have wide open hearts that can change the world in so many unique and positive ways. This week in my local paper, I read about a young ballerina named Alexandra de Roos. When she was just eight years old, she began donating her competition prize money to help others pay for their dance tuition. It was one small generous act for others. Fast forward to this spring. Alexandra is now seventeen and has made her caring and sharing vision official. Her new dance-gear nonprofit Peace Love and Leotards, donates new or gently-used dancewear to help make dance more accessible to all. What an inspiring gift to the world - the beauty of ballet and the tools for others to achieve it. Visit peaceloveleotards.com to donate and share it forward.
Book Excerpt
Maxzyne and the Old Horse Theatre
“MAXZYNE,” HER FATHER WARNS. “Quit while you’re ahead.”
“But Dad,” she cries plaintively. “You always say, ‘If you’re not the lead horse, the view never changes.’ I’m just trying to make sure things change for the best. At least for Caesar anyway.”
Her mother rolls her eyes. “Young lady, don’t you dare use your own father’s words against him. You can quote me: ‘Respect your elders.’ We decide what’s best.”
“Yes, but Mr. Stryker knows what’s best for horses, right, sir?” Maxzyne gives him a pleading look.
Stryker looks at Officer Logan. “I assume the horse is being held at the police stables?”
The policeman nods. “He’s in good hands at our South Shore stables for the moment. We’ll see what the owner decides to do. By the time he pays his fines, he may decide to let the horse go. If that’s the case,” he turns to Rico, “He’s all yours, young man.”
