Coming back around

The only place I've had to be today was at preschool, to drop my daughter off, and then to pick her up. Aaaaaah (sigh), it's nice to have few obligations today! That is a change of pace.

Matt is getting together with the guys from work tonight. They are going to play cards. Fun huh? He's had a mondo project that he himself is presenting to the CEO today. I'm sure he'll kick booty, the man has skillz. He has another presentation tomorrow. This has been a busy week for him. PLUS, he's had to come home and be with the kiddies so I can do my stuff. He is in for a night of relaxation and laughs. He deserves it.

And, watch out for this one, it will be long!
We have this lovely glass coffee table in our front room, sits right in the middle of the big, spacious room. It's been awkwardly moved to the side so I could dance a bit in preparation for last night. I may need to find a new spot for it. I'll be coming up with a bunch more stuff in that spot!

I was so nervous for my little 'audition' yesterday. Mostly because of the intimidating owner. I'm a spaz, what can I say? So, to stand in front of someone much older than me, who is asking me why I think I can teach her modern class, and try to speak in my "big girl" talk, was a little challenging. If only she could see me move... and not talk! Of course doubt and fear start to creep in, and before you know it I'm thinking I want to back out of dance all together! Spastic I know!

I was ill over it all until I came back to my center, which unfortunately wasn't until I actually started teaching the class! I love moving, I love dancing, I may have been out of it for a while, but it is still there. I am a good teacher. I do touch and inspire people. I love making them laugh and feel comfortable. I can helping others find their own joy in moving. (positive self talk here!)

apparently that is what Darlene (the owner) saw, because she offered me the position! We are working out details, but I'm set for Wednesday's.

There was a time in my life that I gave up this passion of mine, completely. I dropped out of school, I stopped performing, sent a shocker to my professors. Why? I needed to come back to center. Everything was way out of whack. I did it having faith that dance would resurface somewhere in my life, in a healthy, balanced way; that this passion of mine, set within healthy limits, could again be a part of my life. I think I've come full circle.
