This letter to Michael Flatley and his troupe may help explain this seemingly strange obsession about Michael and the show. Dreams coming true, making dreams come true, and not letting anything or anyone stand in your way of achieving what you want. Well, speaking from my own experience, and from my heart, I'll tell you what you've done for people like me. You have shown me that dreams really can and do come true.
Dreams are vital to life, just as food, sleep, air, and love are.
Your vitality, your energy, your determination to make it in the face of so many naysayers and critics who have tried to pull you down has inspired me to try that much harder. By watching you, meeting you, and meeting that incredible cast of wonderful people you have assembled around you, I have come to realize that I, too, can and should achieve my dreams. My storytelling, my writing, and my creativity have once again taken center stage in my life, because I have decided that if I want it, only I can get it. You are a muse, a role model, a courageous leader to follow, and I thank you for helping me find my inspiration and my creative muse again. You have gone on to pursue more and greater dreams, but you leave behind your incredible dance extravaganza Lord of the Dance for future generations to watch and marvel at, and get inspired about.
