So this morning I tried something new and went to a yoga class at the wee hours of 6:15 AM! Yikes! I was running a few minutes late but made it and was amazed at how difficult it was for me. I realized I am really out of shape and need to get back on track. As I was doing the exercises, downward dog and such, my muscles were yelling at me as they were so darn tight. My legs especially. I made it through the class and talked to the instructor afterwards about my tightness and she suggested practicing some of the stretches at home.

Ok, well back to the real reason I decided to start my blog. I want to be in the driver's seat of my life, not a passenger any more. In looking over my life, I have come to realize I do things that are expected of me and what others think or tell me to do, instead of what my heart and soul longs for. I have become so dissatisfied with my life and I feel that I need to start living for me, instead of others. This sounds selfish but really it is what life is all about, isn't it? Finding your passion and moving forward. So, I am trying to find my passion instead of putting my wants and needs on the back burner.
I know already one of my passions is dance which I started back when I was grieving over the loss of my Dad. Within a month after his death, I started ballroom dance lessons, never knowing how they could help me in my life. I found through music and movement, I forgot about life worries and stresses and focused on my movements and the lessons. I loved it! I never realized the freedom involved in it! I kept up with my lessons and even competed against myself and others. Again, I loved the challenges involved in it.
Unfortunately, I am not able to take lessons now as they are rather expensive but I am looking into salsa lessons which I have been told only cost 10 a session, quite a difference from $90 a lesson!
Enough for now, I am running out of things to write so will check in again soon!
