It started with a bed

It started with a bed … or that’s where I’m starting the story now. It changed me, because it changed my posture, or at least began to make me more aware of it somehow. It was so much more comfortable, and I found that I could lay for awhile on my stomach or my back, stretching out my frame in more comfortable way than I could do on my previous bed, which was way more expensive. I traded my big queen expensive bed to my sister for this regular size wicker bed in the picture, which I had no idea would suit me so well, much less play a part in a major change in my life.

Change? I soon after acquired another car; I had owned only a motorcycle and/or motor scooter for a couple of years. My new car, a red 2007 VW Jetta allowed me to attend some things that I might not have in colder or wet weather. And what else have I attended with my car? Tango lessons. !!

Posture!!! First thing in tango. Posture. My teacher telling me how to stand, even before how to walk, was even before the first dance step! But I was hooked. I was on to “something” that would change my life even further.

Now after several months of sleeping in my new bed, and a month having a really nice car and enjoying tango lessons, I find myself launching out into even more new territory: blogging about it. 

I share with you not because I want to improve our posture, our confidence to do new things, and find and do things that enhance our life in a spectrum that is not narrow, but “broadsides” everything we do, so that our “bandwidth” of perception, perceptible happiness, begins to accelerate in our life.

I bless you, to be The Christ – women! It’s not a man about. Christ is not a man. Christ is a woman who births the word, to be a new creation, speaking into existence the newborn “word”. This newborn once birthed must be developed into a maturity of confidence and ability to do new things new ways, without the permission of men, or any other people that may have exerted an undue influence on you. So many influences are so subtle. Mine is overt, plain and simple. I’m on a path of exploration and adventure with new peoples, new activities, and a willingness to overcome my fear and reclusiveness.

So I bless you to start with where you can start with who you can start with, even if it is alone in the awareness of your posture and your bed, dancing may come, and believe me, dancing tango can be fun. Challenging but fun. Challenging but worth it. It’s like there’s an entire language of it; such subtle nuances of movement; invitation and acceptance in, by movement. And meeting new people and doing new things is changing my life. I’m enjoying this and I hope you do also; not just me reading about, but you recording, dancing, and lying in a new bed maybe.  

I provide confidence free, to those who will provide it to others. Follow me. “Follow me”? I make leaders who make leaders who heal themselves, by healing others. I release you into the leadership you have within you already. Why? Because I believe in you as a person, a woman who will be called into new things now doing with others new, helping each other be fearless. Changing our posture in part of it, often, and how we “dance” with others in conversation, and even our own energy.

Be no more a recluse in your own world. Let “your own world” expand now, and willingness be to encourage others now to explore and check out new possibilities in their world, beginning with you. Maybe there’s a new bed for you. 

I love you. I love you all.
