Dancing has been a blessing for Bristol, says Sarah Palin

WASHINGTON - Former Alaska governor Sarah Palin is in full support of her daughter Bristol, as she enters the ‘Dancing with the Stars’ semi-finals.

“I slept in her bed with her and we stayed up talking. We were both saying the criticism of her on the show, by some, is that she doesn’t come across as a performer, as an actress,” People mag quoted Sarah as saying.

“And she’s like, ‘I’m not!’ And I’m like, ‘Why not dig really deep and prove the naysayers wrong?’” she said.

Palin, whose own reality show debuted recently, said ‘Dancing with the Stars’ has been a blessing to Bristol.

“To have her now turn that into dancing, it’s a beautiful picture,” said the mum.

“She’s a happy kid with a good attitude, good perspective, everything’s about thinking positively and exchanging beauty for ashes . . . She’s putting her life in God’s hands and it’s scriptural, too, where it says, ‘He will turn your mourning into dancing,’” she added. (ANI)
