“I Will Survive” always pulls me to the dance floor. But for me, it was never about a breakup with a guy; it was about a breakup with life.
During treatment for oral cancer, while watching my young children play as I lay on the sofa, was a living reminder of everything I was fighting for. I used to tell myself, “I need to survive this.” But that word NEED kept me passive. At the mercy of my cancer. In my darkest moments of treatment, when I didn’t think I was going to make it and found myself planning my funeral, this song hit deeply. It told me to do better. Not “I need to survive.” I WILL survive this. One word. All the difference. I will survive this, and live on the other side of cancer, with my family, fully alive.

Now when this song plays, I jump up to the dance floor and dance with the kind of aliveness only the other side of hard can give you.#dancingdivaeva #dancingsurvivor taken in Jacksonville, Florida by @evagrayzel

What’s the best part of cruising? The live music and dancing all night long! Every time a Michael Jackson beat drops, my imagination kicks in as I remember his groove, his magic, the way every move was intentional. He owned it and always will. #dancingdivaeva #michaeljackson #cruiselife @royalcaribbean by @evagrayzel

Matisse paintings came to life on the walls and floors. Colors exploding. Music inviting.  Sometimes, life invites you to do more than look at the beauty around you. It invites you to FEEL it. To move with it. To dance with it. To LIVE it!  #dancingsurvivor #dancingdivaeva #bordeauxcity by @evagrayzel

Dance is a universal language, and today’s message was simple: joy. The baby felt it. The young adult felt it. There’s nothing like dancing in an ancient town square that still echoes the heartbeat of a community.
Fun fact: This town, Cadillac-sur-Garonne, inspired the name of the French explorer who founded Detroit in 1701. Born with a  commoners last name, Antoine Laumet, used this town’s name to reinvent himself in the New World! Exactly two centuries later, his adopted name was used to launch the iconic luxury car brand. (the L’s are pronounced as Y here) #dancingsurvivor #dancingdivaeva #cadillaccars taken in Cadillac, France by @evagrayzel

What better way to meet someone than dancing to hotel music in the lobby?
Certain energies are magnetic. You just have to be open enough to notice them. Tadas is from Lithuania, and with his partner, built a $1B business in just four years. Some people you meet for five minutes and somehow feel like you’ve known them forever. #dancingsurvivor #dancingdivaeva #oralcancer #danceanywhere taken in Paris, France by @evagrayzel

We sit. We eat. We sit and eat some more. Outside a patisserie where we were having another cafe au lait and flaky pastry, the trumpet was calling me out of my seat! My husband joined me for the next song, and our friend thought he was videotaping us. 😂  Some memories are meant to live in your body, not your camera roll. ❤️ #dancingsurvivor #dancingdivaeva #dancinganywhere by @evagrayzel
