About Me

My photo
Born a California girl, raised in the Great Northwest, moved and fell in love with the South, settled for middle ground....for the moment:) I want to live a story worth telling. I don't 'live life on the edge' but every now and again I'll jump off a cliff. I am a free spirit striving to love and forgive, empower and embrace, and suck the marrow out of life:)

Rhythm and Soul

I was babysitting my 11 month old niece. I put in a King of Queens DVD (classic bit of americana in my humble, easily entertained opinion), and she started dancing around to the intro music

Side note: I use the term "dancing' loosely....the actual movement involved a slight bending of the knees and swaying left and right, close to, if not actually on, the beat of the song.

It is then that I had an epiphany...dancing is build in to our souls. This baby, who can't understand much beyond colors, hunger, and sleepiness, instinctively began moving at the sound of music. The Creator has weaved the desire to dance into our innermost being, and the spirit is anxious to bust a move.
So GO FOR IT!...shake what your mama gave ya, rock the white man's overbite, robot, break dance, pop, lock, and drop it, two-step, shoulder lean, and shimmy....move to whatever rhythm your soul desires....the good, the bad, and the ugly....we were born to do it:)
