finding Nemo

every once in awhile, I think I lose myself.  Unlike nemo, nobody is trying to find me. No one is losing a wink of sleep. Its just me trying to figure out where I need to be. sometimes I just missed a step,  other times I take the wrong exit, and then there are those times i'm on the wrong block. like nemo, however, I find myself in a world of trouble with some of the craziest things happening to me. that's when I know it is time to find myself again. it is easy to get off track but so hard to get back on it.

her dance

She dances... caught up in her whirlwind in a skin signifying freedom. paying her own ransom to a beat only she can hear as she shares a relationship with music. every cubic inch of her being exists for this moment with the intent to create movement that leaves her spent. in a different place, in a new space with no trace of bondage.

This excerpt is a preview of a poem about a friend of mine who is so free when she dances, I think it liberates others. She moves with such purpose yet no purpose at all. I know it sounds crazy but it works. Only she can uninhibitedly move in such a way that others smile at the fun she is having...wishing they can let go and be as free as she!

the music stopped...now what?

When the music stops playing what do you do then? Stop Dancing, Stop Living, Stop Moving....???? No!!!!! You make your own music and keep it moving. Sometimes in life we do not get what we want and things do not happen how they need to but we must roll with the punches or get knocked down. Which one will you pick. Don't stop your music when life hands you lemons...make lemonade, lemon cake, lemon sorbet or whatever works for you. Just don't quit! Things get hard but don't let it stop you from your destiny. It will only make you stronger when you don't surrender to the adversities that create obstacles in your life. Don't stop the music!

A picture says a thousand and one words. This is me right now. I am officially putting me on closed! There are some things in my life that need fixing. I have been in a place where everyone else and their stuff has been in front of what I need to do. I have to reprogram myself to do what makes me happy. Unselfishly I say again... I'm going to do what makes me happy! I cannot be concerned about others and their wants because in the long run it's me and me all day everyday. If you sing...sing your heart out, if you dance...dance as if it is your last time, if you play the conga drums...beat it as if your life depended on it.  Whatever makes you happy is what you should strive for. Never let anyone take away from you what is important to you. Push, press, break through and get to the place where you need to be at this particular time in your life. For me, I am closed until I get it right within myself because I love me some ME!
