Today, I’m talking with a beautiful soul.....my friend, Hulda, from Iceland.
There’s an old quote that’s been floating around for a long time, and it says something like “dance like no one is watching” – well....that’s exactly what Hulda does....except a LOT of people are watching.
In the face of heartache, Hulda decided to approach her life with love and by making other people smile and laugh. Her son has Duchenne muscular dystrophy, like my youngest son Joseph – after his diagnosis Hulda decided to – as she says – turn her pain into power. And her “Dancing for Duchenne” was born.
On Fridays, she puts out a new video – she and her son dance in their kitchen, they dance at fire stations, through the power of technology they dance with people around the world, they dance with musicians, and they’ve even danced with the Prime Minister of Iceland.
Hulda talks about how her ADHD is her super power because it fuels her creativity and she talks about her fierce commitment to being better, not bitter, even in the face of big struggles.
She is so genuine and heartfelt and just a breath of fresh air. We need more of her in this world!
