Diana Ross…A’int No Car Accident will keep me from you!

“Ain’t no Valley low enough, Ain’t no river wide enough or car accident will keep me from you” should be her new anthem. News broke that Diana Ross was in a car accident! I almost had a heart attack before I even click on the full story!
Diana Ross is my idol. I grew up listening to The Supremes and the motown artists. Diana was always the stand out to me. I’ve listened to every song and see her in many concerts. One concert she even brought me on stage. I went to see her at Radio City Music Hall in NYC and we had back row seats which didn’t sit well with me. So me and my friends got up and walked down towards the stage and there were three seats empty, so we sat in them and god must have been with us, because bo one ever claimed them.
So she started singing Muscles, and she was eyeing a guy in front of me to show his muscles, but he didn’t because he was embarrassed, so I stood up and said “Look at me!” She did and waved her hand to motion me to sit down. I was in heaven cause she motion to me. She than sung another slow song called So Close, and she started bringing people up one at a time and dancing with them. Only if she could have picked me. So I stood up again and said “It’s my turn!” She looked and me and waved at me to come up… OMG!! My dream was coming true and as I started to to run up on stage, security stopped me. I was almost crushed with heartbreak when she said the them it’s ok.
So I am on stage, she has one arm wrapped around me and a mic in the other serenading me. We dance as if one one else was watching and as we separated I turn to see out i to the audience and it was pitch black. I couldn’t see anyone one, I thought I died and gone to heaven. It was so magical I remember it as if it was yesterday.  So I started to return to my seat when she slapped me on the butt. (See dreams do come true!)…
Anyway back to almost having a heart attack. I read the story and the only way I would believe that she was ok is from her tweet she sent out to everyone. Assuring them she was ok and would still be performing.

I know the power of adrenaline. I was in a car accident on my way to teach in New Jersey once and I remember, not feeling any pain even though my leg was banged up pretty bad. The police had to stop traffic on the highway to bump my jeep off the road. They called AAA and when they asked me where I wanted to go. I said the gym. When I walked in word got out about my accident to the entire gym. So everyone was surprised to see me show up l, even with a limp. I taught my class. I informed them that I dont know what going to happen, but we gonna ride like there was no tomorrow.  It was packed, not a bike available and it was the most reward rides of my fitness career.
