It's Never too late...

I've recently gotten back into dancing again and it feels great! It feels like my body just needed a resurgence of energy to get me jump started in something that was purposeful and fulfilling. The freedom, the glide, the escape from reality to be in a dimension other than the one you were just in, is a feeling like no other. The ability to glide through the air and allow your body to take you to places you didn't think you could go is a gift that the creator gave me that no one can ever take away.

After being a mother at the age of 20 where my life took an immediate redirection, I seemed to never gain any weight, lose my ferver for the arts or passion to inspire others through the use of movement. Inevitably it became an underlining understanding that maybe I should pursue this for the rest of my life. Very little brings me JOY like the joy I have when I release my body through this gift of movement. What is that for you?

I've had many examples of women twice my age continuing their passion in the dance field and the ways in which they did it. Whether it was a spiritual connection or a way to inspire the youth that they would shepherd. There were many avenues that I saw how I could walk in a direction that was authentic and unique to me and my experiences. In essence, this new found passion to take as many dance classes as possible, as now, I had the time, space and energy to do so, gave me the right push to walk confidently in the purpose that was meant for me. 

I say all that to say to everyone to be encouraged! I'm nearly 40 and yet look like I'm in my early 20's! That's a blessing as I continue to grow in age and not mind the uninviting comments that are taken back by my unassuming age. I dwell on the fact that I'm made this size for a reason. Now, what am I going to do about it? I'm definitely not going to give into the temptation that life is all over and there's no hope to continue pursuing the things that I love in the ways in which I was created to do so. AND YOU SHOULDN'T EITHER! The facts are that many great people started businesses and philanthropic projects at a young age as well as well in their 60's. As long as you're not dead, you have something meaningful to bring to the world in ways that are unimaginable. 

I'm just here to give a little boost to someone's day to continue to push the limits of what others may perceive are or were your best years and chose to believe otherwise. Take that dance class, build something meaningful, travel to that destination you always had your eyes on, make that phone call! Step out and do something daring and watch what manifests because of your willingness to take that first step.
