Dear Friends,
To my mother's absolute horror, “Thank god your father is not here to hear this," I went on stage and belly danced in front of a hall full of strangers!
I have no idea what possessed me to sign up for the gala performance at my belly dance studio, but I did! Maybe I was operating under the influence of Mark Twain who said, we will regret more what we don't do, than what we do. Maybe it was my "have to take risks” sermons to my students that pushed me. Or maybe, it was just my own philosophy of living it up!
I’m so grateful I did it! It was courageous; it was fun; it was invigorating! Most importantly, now when I preach "risk taking" to my students, my nose will not grow longer!
I’m grateful to my three dear friends who came to cheer me on. And, I’m also very grateful to my son for being there. Contrary to my mother’s belief, he was not “embarrassed" to see his mother dance.
Have a fun-filled day everyone!
Right On Lili! I love that you got up on that stage and shook your groove thing!!
