Guest Blogger: Keelie Sheridan

From time to time, I will be sharing posts from a fellow blogger and friend, Keelie Sheridan.  She and I met years ago after she won the Miss Brooklyn Scholarship Pageant, official preliminary to Miss New York/Miss America when I was the Executive Director in 2009.  She was an absolute joy to work with and made my job as her director sooooo easy.  Her resume is amazing and includes being an actor, dancer, writer, teaching artist, MFA Acting student and athlete. 

She recently started the blog Sweat=Success and has whipped herself into shape by running, yoga, kettle bells, and entering Tough Mudder contests.  She is a newlywed and married her sweetheart Joe Kurtz, also an actor, and they are both simply a fun and loving couple.  Their wedding theme was Old Hollywood and included a special handshake just before the kiss.  In all my life, I have never seen anything like that but it looks like they will have a fun marriage.

Please welcome Keelie Sheridan who will occasionally contribute to ValleyStreamMom.com.  She is an amazing writer and often writes on the importance of the arts and health issues relating to children. She is the Artistic Director and Creator of Building Blocks - a dramatic-arts program for special needs students ages 4-7. Responsibilities include developing adaptable curriculum suitable for the needs of 4-7 year old students with 2-5 year old functioning levels, integrating dramatic arts into existing curriculum and planning a culminating event for participating students.

Please welcome Keelie Sheridan!
