Every Friday, Lisa Jo Baker hosts a blog link up called Five Minute Fridays. She provides a word prompt and then participants are to set their timers for five minutes and then write until the timer goes off. The word for today is Graceful. Happy Friday Divas and here goes:
When I tell people I am a dance fitness instructor, they quickly inform me that they think our class MIGHT be fun but they: can’t dance, don’t have any rhythm, and are too clumsy to join us. My answer to them: being graceful or even being able to dance is NOT a requirement. All that is required is an open mind and the ability to laugh at yourself!
One of the reasons we start class with everyone finding a neighbor and looking them in the eyes and informing them “No matter how hard you try, you cannot look like me”, is to release the fear of having to perform every step perfectly and full of grace.
As we salsa through the dance of life, we have moments of graceful footwork. Sometimes, we are tripping over every thing in our path. Other times, like Paula Abdul, we are awkwardly taking two steps forward and two steps back.
The great joy is that God is Always with us.
