Sue Healy is a 73-year-old belly dancer. That may seem incongruous, but Sue says, “I don’t care. I am not wasting any time getting on with my life.”
Tallahassee has been her home since she came to Florida State University as a freshman 56 years ago. Sue grew up on a small farm near the edge of the Everglades, in Miami. Her mother taught her to draw and be self-reliant. Her father taught her how things worked and how to write. In addition to being a dancer, I she is a painter, a gardener, a writer, an editor, and most importantly, she is fearless.
Sue’s strengths helped save her when she was diagnosed with metastatic cancer three years ago. She had a horrendous surgery, daily chemo and radiation and spent two months in the hospital. When she could not walk, she dreamed of dancing again and made it happen. The day she was discharged she went to the gym with her hot pink glitter walker and climbed on the treadmill.
Sue said, “Cancer taught me how many friends I have, how to let go of pride and accept help, what is really important, and how strong my mind and faith really are.”
Sue’s outlook on life is be healthy, happy and strong and embrace change as another metamorphosis.
