Amazing Grace

	*Grace is...

When it comes down to it, reposnsible for all of this. An angel. Amazing. (~summer)

Grace is so awesome! She's bright and loving and fun and totally beautiful. She'll put you in a trance with her enchanting bellydancing. And she's responsible for this whole great NBTSC! ~Erin

Responsible for me meeting most of my friends, including my best friend in the whole wide world, and the love of my life. Thank you from de bottom of my heart, and I can't bare the thought that I won't be at camp this year, I'll be back though... if you're ever short on advisors... ~Mr.z~

a terrific writer, visionary, bellydancer, singer, friend, and so much more. a hero. grace is camp. she's part of who i am. marina

Energy and inspiriation with skin.

Grace is too rad for words! She has been a huge source of inspiration for me, and her ideas found me when I had heard nothing of the sort, which really empowered me. And camp . . . whoa. (-courtney)

Someone who's managed to pull off some delightfully wonderful camps, and bring some neat people. She's wonderfully accepting of honesty, but has no forceful edge that hurts to tell teh truth to. Accepting. (Ari)

What I really love about Grace is how honest she really is, and how well she handles other's honesty. It feels like you really can talk to her, and get an honest opinion back, without any frills. I admire that. -Robyn

grace has brought me so much joy in such a big way... she is beautiful and generous and caring and joyful and radiant. i still remember being amazed at her bellydancing skills in isla mujeres in '96... when she was still a part of the psycho blanton cult. ;) i am so grateful to know her. ~carsita

she saved my life, she saves everyone's life. she created so many things that, in turn, created the best experiences, friendships, and goals, of my entire life. she is lovely and empowering. ~samara

She made my favorite place on earth. She brought all you wonderful people together to one place so we could all be friends. Thank you so very very much for camp. She's a good singer too. I liked that song she did in the untalent show at session 1 1998. -Kathleen

Myv savior! If it hadn't been for her book, I would have wasted these past four years sitting in a desk, and right now would be planning my first year at Penn. State. Her incredibly literate, visual, yummy, inspiring writing style is what convinced my parents to "let me go". Grace, wherever you are, I love you. You've made me a better, kinder, healthier, happier person. I'm so glad I actually have had the honor of meeting you numerous times now! -Samantha

Grace is really nice. She leads really supportive belly-dance workshops, and works so hard to make camp happen each year, which everyone really, really appreciates. Thank you, Grace! - Emma

The core of all of this bliss. She is a brilliant, gorgeous, dancing, idea-growing, passionate woman who inspires everyone beyond belief! Thank you so much for everything, Grace. You really are amazing. Landis

After the power shuffle at camp, everyone was huddled together and I was walking around with my arms crossed, feeling angry and lonely because everyone else seemed to be getting comforted and I couldn't fit in anywhere. I didn't really look like I needed any comfort, I think I looked more angry than anything and I wasn't crying. But Grace went up to me and asked me if I needed a hug, and then I did start crying because she was so incredibly caring and understanding. And then, later, I found myself outside again. I wanted to hug a certain person, but I was too shy. She went over and asked me: "Are you asking for what you need?" and I shook my head. She asked: "Who do you want a hug from?" I told her. And then she marched me right over to him and made me ask for a hug, though I was practically writhing in her grasp. But it was totally worth it. -wanderlust

Grace has too much energy.(in a good way). she puts amazing amounts of energy into her dreams and even when they don't work somhow manages to keep going and living her life without crashing. I have to admire somone who can do that. She also takes big risks to have one of the most amazing camps around, rather than always taking the safe and proven route.-Lorin
