DWTS2014 Derek Hough: “Life is a dance, but, it’s much more than mastering the steps”
“Life is a dance, but, it’s much more than mastering the steps. It’s pushing your boundaries, shattering your limits, and exploding in a breathtaking burst of light.”
Above is a quote that touched me while reading Derek Hough’s new book “Taking The lead: Lessons From A Life In Motion”. Isn’t it beautiful? If you want more, and haven’t ordered this book yet, be sure you do here. You’ll learn things on Derek you never knew before including the not so good times. I don’t know how Derek lived through some of them, but he did. Thank goodness!
Be sure you visit Pure Derek Hough as well. Several fans have submitted blogs, pics, and videos from Derek’s book signings this past week. Derek also took pics for a new portrait session while in New York City. We also have gobs of new radio and TV interviews to take in where he talks on his new book and Dancing With The Stars. So be sure to stop in, say Hi, and catch up with all things Derek.
Wondering if I am the only one who had tears in their eyes while reading all the horrible things Derek went through? I am amazed that Derek is the wonderful person he is today. Vogue, I too wonder how Derek survived.
The mind boggles at what he went through as a kid. But boy, he was tough after that first incident.
Della, I cried too!! It just broke my heart reading over his words.
And Heidi, so true. After that, he was stronger and didn’t put up with anything. A lot of people would let that destroy them and he didn’t and only the opposite.
Such a cool photo! I’m so happy for Derek & the success he’s gaining from with his new Memoir.
Della,
I had tears in my eyes as well. He still shows emotion when discussing the bullying. Look at him now. He’s amazing.
Way to go Derek!
My gosh, Della, me too!! I welled up and had to put the book down ‘coz I was on the train and didn’t want to break down. Although Boston, a little similar to New York, people probably would ignore me lol
