Crazy, Sexy, Cool...

Remember the group TLC?? "Don't go chasin' waterfalls...please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to..."

Yes, THAT TLC. T-Boz, Lisa "Left-Eye" and Chili. Even back then---BEFORE I really knew how to allow myself any kind of validation---(or allow it for any other woman for that matter), I knew that they were onto something with the album title:
"Crazy, Sexy, Cool".

What I didn't know, was that they were describing my life's path...NIA!!

I need to keep today's post sort of short.
I've been ill. I'm STILL ill. (Nothing major--just a cold, flu, I dunno. It just keeps hangin' on though...it's aggravating!) Anyway, being a little ill doesn't stop me anymore from moving through life. Dancing through it in fact. That's what Nia does for me.

I brought home my dozens of bags from the grocery store. And I danced through life as I unpacked them...literally. The music of Opal (a Nia routine) continues to sustain me. Playing her music in the kitchen makes me so happy. I would pause to lift my arms gracefully to the music. Or walk the clock for fun. Then I'd unpack a few more boxes of noodles, or a can of peas.

It almost seems unfair that my work consists of dancing around the kitchen, learning the choreography of the routines, embodying the JOY of dancing them, and then sharing that joy with whoever wants to come and play.

ALMOST!

Maybe we shouldn't chase waterfalls, but I DO think splashing around in them ought to be required activity at some point.
Crazy, Sexy, Cool!!!
Rock on Ladies!!!!!!!
