Dance


I went to a dance competition for a friend this past weekend and realized I MISS dancing.

I may not be a very good dancer, but my HEART is there. And nothing relieves stress like dance. That is why I love Zumba. I suck at it, but it's dance and I live for it! I was so depressed all weekend at the competition thinking about the stupid choices I made in high school, thinking about choosing bad things over dancing and dropping out of it all. And looking at theose young girls dancing their hearts out and doing so well. I wish I could tell them all to never give up!!

I am a fighter, and have pushed myself through many trials in my life, but for some reason I gave up on dance. After being sad about it for a few hours on Saturday, I decided, it's time to MAKE IT RIGHT! I am going to start training GUNG-HO for the next several months. I need to get firm and fit. My body is not in a position to be dancing, it jiggles :) no one wants to see that.

I might have an opportunity placed my way in the next year where I would be able to teach a hip hop workout class. And I don't want my poor lazy decisions to get in the way of dance ever again!!!

This is it my friends.. my intervention has been HAD and I'm moving forward.

Challenge: what did you give up on as a child/teen that you wish you didn't or had pursued more? Find out, and create an opportunity to get that back in some way.
