Loving what you have and what you do is what life is all about. The third in our MUUV People series is a story written by the subject in her own words. Robbie is the embodiment of love and thankfulness and that is how we feel about knowing her and having her share the joy of dance and friendship. Here is her story:
"First thing to say is that I have 3 main passions in life. My faith, my family and dance!!!! I met my husband Cortland in Seattle 22 years ago, after going to that area as a missionary for my church. What a life-changing experience! That's how I eventually found myself here in Eagle, Idaho after having been raised in England, in a city just east of London. 
We have three gorgeous children, one of whom shares my passion for dance. That's Cami! She's 17 and a Senior this year at Eagle High. Then I have Ethan who is 13, he's in 8th grade. Last but definitely not least is Faith. She's 10, and is in 5th grade.
Faith and family has always been a part of my life, but it wasn't until a few years ago, in a gym in Eagle, that I had my love of dance re-kindled. I think when you have children, it's easy to forget the things you used to be passionate about, because it naturally becomes all about them, so I'm truly grateful to have that joy back in my life! I was inspired to re-discover myself a few years ago when all the kids were off to school, and I started taking yoga classes at my local gym. I loved that experience for 2 or 3 years, until the yoga teacher announced she would be leaving. I was devastated. But then, this vivacious lady called Kris came into one of our classes, and told us she was taking over the Friday morning spot with a yoga/dance blend called ViYo. I was skeptical. I was a 'yoga-girl', after all, but Kris persuaded me to "just give it a try". Well, thankfully I gave it a try, and I've hardly missed a class since!
Kris's class has gone through a few changes of name and location, but has remained the experience in my life that lifts my spirit, keeps me moving, and in extra-special moments, brings that 'rush' of joy through my whole body that causes tears to escape my eyes! What a blessing it continues to be in my life after all this time. A few weeks ago, I even caught myself looking in the mirror, and instead of having the usual negative dialogue about my body marching through my mind, I just had one word come to me. The word was 'STRONG'. Thank you for sharing your amazing gifts, I love you Kris! And I love our new home at MUUV!"
