We are on our seasonal break this week, so now’s a good time to share some personal victories. I was trying to put it all in one post but that was overwhelming so I’ll share in bite sized tidbits.
First and foremost our baby, Talitha Dance, is 5 years old this year. 5! What started as clicking a targeted Facebook ad for becoming a Zumba instructor has become a full-on sole proprietorship with life, energy, personality, and deep roots in building community. I've learned a lot about how to create on a communal level: the importance of collaboration, where to invest resources for greatest impact, the power of building on the rock solid foundational concept of community...
Just as I started to get the hang of how to build my community base and stabilize our finances, COVID is making me learn it all over again - but this time it’s the more considered and evolved version. I’m grateful for the chance to start over with the knowledge me of yester-year didn’t have, and the level of support I didn’t have back then either. What an unexpectedly blessed year to turn 5!
Make no mistake about it. It has been a nail biting, doubt filled, soul scaring 5 years and I’m SO here for all the ground shifting, fear inspiring, spirit building work that lies ahead. There’s so much more to come, but for now Happy Birthday Talitha Dance.
Happy Birthday Talitha Dance!
