Bailamos






I find it heartbreaking that no matter how accomplished women may be, we often continue to see ourselves in the diminished distortion of another's view of us.
I'm ready to stop seeing myself as everyone else sees me and start portraying the real me - make them see and appreciate the person I am, and feel that I am doing all I can do to be the best I can be. Remind me of this the day I say I'm not good enough for someone, or I change my plans to suit someone else because they make me feel my life plan is not as important as theirs.
I know it will happen again - it always does - but that day when someone finally swings my way; that's when I'll know I'm dancing to the right beat.
Tonight I danced. I felt it. I wanted to be there and I was there. I had quiet in my mind. I heard nothing, thought nothing, just felt. There is nothing more liberating than freeing your mind from the clutter and noise and just being, just doing, just experiencing.  
I felt my mind and body connect for the first time in a long time. I recommend it! Feel, sense, experience, live!
