Hello! Introducing the new web gallery and blog. Because I am building it and they will come!
If I had a lucky race horse I would name him Check Engine Light. I’m jus sayin.
You bet your asses this blog is back! Only I have a new excuse now. I call it “Avant-Garde” bloggin. I can not believe how sensitive society is these dayz. I can’t just “not be myself”. It feels too fake. Besides this blog does have much to do about belly dance. This is all of the dark matter that is in between the socializing, brainstorming, and other bonding procedures a belly dance troupe goes through. So I forgive whoever turned me into the Facebook team for that Hard Salami blog. For the record, I was at Wal-mart when I took that pic, so it is real.
Not much to blog about since I do not have a troupe anymore. I just want to put it out there, (some random nonsense) I think there is something about belly dancing, that is hard to explain. But when you find something like it, it makes you feel good and it inspires you, even if your feelings are in the negative, it still inspires you. And a creative side wants to find a way to express it. Then you never really stop doing it because it has now become a part of your life. It heals and nourishes your energy (the soul). It is belly dance for the soul. That is probably why I keep dancing even if no one is watching. …(ahhhhhhh, that was dumb) anywayz…
I really miss sharing those experiences with some of the best friends I have ever had. Those would be my home-girls. I shout out to thee: MG, Jeri, Sabrina, and Katya! (…long pause.) I guess right now I just want to say how much I miss having the old belly dance troupe Whirlwinds together. We really shared a lot. We had a lot of fun. Whenever it was a hard week for any of us, which it always was. We really looked forward to getting together, eating cheeses and drinkin wines, and what not more. We did make good dances together in between. So ya, I believe forgiveness is the real big healer in every situation. Sometimes you have to forgive yourself so that you quit beatin yourself up. so, “I forgive you, me”.
Fate, or something like that, is how these things happen, they happen for a reason. Whirlwinds was hanging by a thread and it is because it was meant to die. Now I feel it is time to build a new troupe. Maybe, I hope. So far my attempts have failed. It is so hard to find people who have a passion for something that does not pay, but rather takes time and money away. But there are ways to be frugal too. I am looking for people who love to put feeling into motion and heal through the expression of dance. belly dance. Most of those who know about this kindred spirit have had or are in belly families. And there performances are very very powerful !
By the way, watch for a new beginning duet troupe under my direction, Sirens of Osiris. Oh yes! This is a very fun troupe. They “dab”-ble in darkness and the underworld. They will debut in 2019!
