And next month we are playing at the Cuba St Carnival the weekend of 24th Feb!! Yippee! You can see pictures of us on Flickr . . . look up AK Samba. The beat is infectious and people can't help moving when they hear us, there's nothing like a whole lot of big drums to get people moving! Can't wait to have you dancing alongside!!!!<br />xxxxjojomonkeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10307647027705592825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32901588.post-29765983129424954502007-01-19T17:47:00.000+04:302007-01-19T17:47:00.000+04:30Hi Frida

I have been medication free for four months and am starting to feel the challenge. I am going to use this weeks holidays to really explore what I can do to deal with it. Thank you so much for the inspiration.<br /><br />Sending a hug and prayers from Australia,Julie Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18024946995637510571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32901588.post-14599185036276185582007-01-19T11:45:00.000+04:302007-01-19T11:45:00.000+04:30You are such a joy!

I dance around the house sometimes and my family laughs at me, but, it's a good laugh. "Mom, you are such a dork." Laughter. "Mom, you are such a silly." More laughter. Hubby says "hummmmm" and his cheekbones get high. Now I LIKE that.Annie Jeffrieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15415548089882625246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32901588.post-41286933148708881932007-01-18T21:54:00.000+04:302007-01-18T21:54:00.000+04:30I'm not very good with remembering actual dance st...I'm not very good with remembering actual dance steps but I'm up for letting-go and dancing like I just don't care, anytime! Every time I hear Express Yourself by Charles Wright and the Watts (itunes has it), I crack up laughing just imagining my three year old niece creating a new "crazy dance".<br /><br />And you ran a marathon?

They are our reality while we are here. I love it that you dance everywhere- I can't dance a lick, but just watching someone who can dance so freely makes me feel good inside. And I am glad that your yoga teacher gave you positive feedback- so often we can get caught up in our own insecurities.<br />Keep on dancing, girlfriend!Reginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14287107184977896696noreply@blogger.com
