11/08/2024GM & Happy Friday! Can’t wait to dance with all the beautiful you in just a few more hours.

Should the wind condition improve, we may be able to dance but we wont’ know until the day before. Please keep checking our website or your what’s app for updates. No pressure at all. There will be an invitational on Sunday. Please check your what’s app frequently for updates & details.

06/03/2024Hello all! Million thanks to Nini & Ellie’s joint effort, we were able to bring some love and laughters to the sweet & lovely residents at the Parker’s@Piscataway today! We are beyond deeply grateful to all our dance angels who set aside time from their busy schedules to participate at today’s program. We are especially thankful to our beautiful dance angels such as Linda (Monroe) & Maureen (Bridgewater), who have been joining us from quite a distance for the past few years. Our program was well received by the residents and it was super difficult to let go of the hands of the ones who were trying to get us to dance for a little bit more… Some were so touched and emotional that they had begun to tear up as we walked up to speak with them at the end… What a humbling, precious & meaningful experience that we were blessed, honored & privileged to be a part of, ONLY by God’s Grace! We had promised them that we would go back again and therefore, we must keep up with our daily practice to know our dance steps thoroughly. Please come practice with us tomorrow@MBV’s outdoor basketball court@10:30am for one hour or more, pending on the weather. Thank you!
06/03/2024Hello all! Just a friendly reminder: MBV’s gym is still closed today. By God’s Grace, we will be dancing for the residents at the Parker’s@Piscataway@10am. Please be punctual, check in with Nini as you arrive & let her know if you would be joining us for lunch after the today’s program. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for helping us to spread God’s love & joy, one dance at a time! May God keep you & bless you all!

He had even tried to dance with us for a dance or two. Such sad news! May his soul rest in peace!

04/12/2024From our beloved Dori: “Sorry for the tardiness to reply, my second lung surgery really took a toll on me. Doctor told me that when he went inside my lungs, there were a lot of scar tissues all over the places, it’s like leather sole of the shoes so he’d to scrape them off. HE mentioned that he’d never seen that much before & during the process it might have caused some air leaks….so far my lung are about 66% expended. Since they took one leaf off last year, I would be happy if it goes up to 75%. I must say that right now it’s the lowest point of my life. The pain from the wound, the nerve healing, my L hip joint hurts…… on top of these, I was confined to a sitting position when I was in the hospital…. After five days I came home with a catheter and plastic pouch bag, Finally, I went back had them removed but I still have low energy + shortness of breath, No appetite , so I went to urgent care for blood test which showed that I was anemic. I was advised to go to the Emergency for a blood transfusion but by the time I got to hospital they said it has to be below 7 in order to give me blood. Instead, they give me a EKG found that I had AFIB, maybe from the stress or low sodium in my blood, anyway it’s one thing or another… so Dr is monitoring my heartbeat …..I just have to be patient + strong to pull out from this most difficult time,…thanks for your thoughtfulness and good wishes! Always thinking of me! Keep me in your prayers!!” Hang in there Dori our love! Our God CARES and He HEALS!
~”But He was pierced for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on Him, and by His wounds we are healed.” ~Isaiah 53:5~

“And God said, “Let there be lights in the vault of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs to mark sacred times, and days and years, and let them be lights in the vault of the sky to give light on the earth.” And it was so. God made two great lights—the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light to govern the night. He also made the stars. God set them in the vault of the sky to give light on the earth, to govern the day and the night, and to separate light from darkness. And God saw that it was good”~ Genesis 1:14-18 ~

08/092023Praise God for Lesley, Stuart & Chili’s safe return from Austin last night! Everything went well with Chili – yeah!!! Even though they had to leave early in morning @5:30am, they were able to persuade Chili to eat some pasta (he loves pasta!!) and peanut butter, and get the meds in him! The new meds worked so much better than the others and he had a pretty good journey home today. Even when he wasn’t actually asleep he was drowsy, and relaxed!! They had a lovely visit to Austin, spending time with their two beautiful girls but sad to leave them. Lesley is looking forward to returning to LD tonite and seeing us all. We missed you dearly too, Lesley our love! Can’t wait to see you in a few more hours! God is so GOOD!
08/09/2023Wai & Elsa are departing for Georgia today for their vacation. We will miss you both and especially Wai, for being resourceful all the time helping our LD group here & there with anything, in anyways he can! Yup! That is our Wai!

08/07/2023It was a beautiful Sunday to see our beautiful weekenders & surprisingly, our Amy who usually dances at MBV only…:-D What a blessing to be able to dance outdoor in a comfortable temperature while watching the birds fixing their nests & feeding their babies in the distance! Our already fun-filled Sunday session was brought to its climax when Kate, our very own Daisy Award winning nurse, walked in at the end and danced with us like a pro to her favorite tune, “I will survive” in her own special rendition that had truly brought back many sweet memories… We missed you, Kate! You looked fabulous! Praise God from whom all blessings flow!

08/07/2023We were informed by Craig yesterday that he pulled, or strained his hamstring, playing tennis on Saturday. From what he’d read, it would take from several days, to several weeks to heal.  So, he thinks he will miss all of our smiling faces for a while. He had also read that it doesn’t affect his ability to go to unlimited happy hours which will happen as soon as Nhi is back from Delaware. Well, it turns out we don’t have to wait “for a while” before we see Craig again and praises to God for our Craig is in such a good spirit! Speedy Recovery, Craig!
08/07/2023Lesley sends her love from Austin, Texas. Sadly poor old Chili did not like flying! After a very encouraging start at the airport he was stressed and restless throughout the flight  Fortunately they had a very relaxed flight crew who didn’t mind her having Chili on her lap (he’s supposed to be in the carry box on the floor under the seat in front). Lesley thought that it was probably the most challenging flight Stuart and her have ever had! The meds that were supposed to relax Chili didn’t seem to do anything… On their return journey they’re going to try a different medicine and hope for a better outcome. They’re having a good time with the girls though despite the horribly crazy hot weather – It was 103 last Friday!! Sydney says hello! She planned to go to a salsa aerobics class with Sydney on Saturday which would be fun! She is missing us and our LD. We miss you too Lesley & hello Sydney! Praise God you are enjoying your time together as a family! By God’s Grace, Chili is going to do well when you fly home tomorrow, ALL is well!
08/05/2023A warm welcome to our 2 newcomers Christina & Yu-Ti, friends of principal Richard & his graceful wife, Jen! Kudos to Bowna?

She is determined to join us at every session now even though her visitor’s visa only allows her to be with us for 6 months! Praise God!
