There are moments in life where I am touched by something so deeply that it immediately makes me wish my mom was still alive to see it as well. They bring me to tears just as she used to be brought to tears by Maria Callas, or a story about her father, or sometimes even a random tv commercial.
Today when I saw an Instagram clip of Selma Blair on dancing with the stars I was brought to tears. I’ve been captivated by her Instagram for some time and her stream of consciousness, everything right on the surface, honest, and vibrant way of living. I think she is doing good things for the world.
So to see her dancing on national television and living fully in front of the world was a powerful thing. And something that my mom would have greatly appreciated.
Thank you Selma. Mom, I hope you’re smiling down from wherever you are.
