You can do it!

Last weeks Viennese Waltz

I really want to make a point of thanking everybody that has sent me the most amazing condolences, all the beautiful flowers I've received. I've never known anything like it. I've been walking around my house just looking at all these beautiful flowers and all these beautiful cards and all these beautiful messages from people and the feeling of love and support that I've received from so many people and so many people I've never met, so many fans, it's just been unbelievable.

Everywhere I go now, people come up to me and they tell me how I've inspired them to get up off the couch and do something and really that's
one of the most important things for me about this competition. It's not about winning, it's about showing people and showing myself that I can find joy and stretch myself and discover something new in my life and that I can experience and communicate this joy to millions of people.

I'm very excited because I think a lot of people are getting the message and a lot of people are now trying to dance. What a wonderful thing that is. How exciting if everybody just said, you know what, Jane does it. I can do it. Maybe I can get up, may be I can meet somebody when I go to a dance studio, maybe I can meet my inner self and
allow that child inside me to find joy again. That's a very powerful thing and I really hope that this message spreads.

You have spread that message, Jane, and Thank You. Not only have you shown us that exercise can help, but you've inspired many to get up and move past obstacles, both physical and emotional. You've demonstrated physical strength and emotional fortitude that has inspired us all.

Good Luck tonight, we're all rooting for you both!!!

I remember years ago how you talked about loving the feeling of being a woman and what it was to be one. You show it every week when you take the floor time and again and those words you spoke come back to me. I often think of them when I do not want to take that extra time to look good or put on makeup and then I do because I never want to not look my best and never feel special because I am a women. You have always been an inspiration and thank you for it, and esp. for doing DWTS.

Jane don't know if you read this or not, you know how suspicious people are these days about celebrities, but just to let you know, I know the feeling of losing a mother, I lost mine when I was 14, she passed from breast cancer in 1966. I lost my dad in 92' from brain and spinal cancer. My condolences are with you, may our father in heaven wrap his everloving arms around you and your family and give you peace and strength. By the way, Good luck on the show. Take care now, Barb

Jane~~
Once again tonight, you were wonderful! No matter the dance, you carry it off with grace and dignity. You inspire me to try dancing--if only I could find a "Tony" to help me. You've gotten all 128 votes from this house. Keep up the great job. I'm praying for you.
