the New Year it's time to go to the local reader, Mama Czenee for
some predictions for 2010 just like I have in years past.
It's easy to find her place of business, it's in the neighborhood
and it's the house that has the red neon sign that simply says
"READER". As I walk up to the door, it opens as her daughter lets me
in saying," mama has been expecting you Markie. Come right in."
I walk into the darkened room and there sits the old lady with her
back to me and the round table with the crystal ball sitting in the
middle. The old lady is on the computer at the table in front of
her. She turns the monitor off turns and says, "You know I had to
check my website I got 2 million hits today." Its 2010 so I don't
blame her for keeping up with technology!
"So you want to know what the future holds
Continued
for the steppers community in the New
Year, do you. Let's take a look. Status Quo no more… Status Quo no more!
Winds of change are blowing…" As the mystic hovered her hands over the
cloudy orb they started to shake and lightning bolts appeared inside.
What kind of change? I asked as I watched the tempest inside the crystal
ball continue to churn. "Change from outside… Status Quo no more… there
will be no more fear" The old woman's hand steadied and the ball
returned to its original clear state. As usual I was more confused after
she made her pronouncements.
I already knew it would be a waste of time to ask her to explain her
statements from previous visits. Only time will tell. The crystal ball
darkened and Mama Czenee asked for her money. I paid her and left.
Last year the mystic said "there would be more" and 2009 definitely
proved to be a year where more people learned and participated. 2009 was
also a year where more people were involved in the premier event in
Chicago style stepping, the WLSC weekend. In 2008 she predicted, "In
2008 a dancer will rise from the ranks in a city other than Chicago and
catch national attention." And it happened.
I said it before, only time will tell.
