Ok, I admit it...I love to dance.   I feel absolutely fantastic dancing-I feel utterly in touch with and connected to my feminine essence, my 'girl' energy, my Power.  And being a girl is just that-POWER!  We women have such incredible power and strength.  And our power and strength is best shown through being soft and feminine.

Which is why dance is such and interesting way to see this concept in motion-because this concept also parallels the romantic relationship dynamic between men and women.The man Leads and the woman Follows....

And while that may not sound like power-it takes absolute bravery to allow a man lead-you see, we have a choice- we can allow a man to lead, or we can 'backlead', step in and try to lead ourselves

And in choosing to follow, in choosing to surrender, and give up control, we have to have the strength to trust OURSELVES

Its more than just letting him lead because he’s the guy-for me that doesn’t cut it, because I start to worry ‘well what if he steps on my toes, what if he lets me down, hurts me, makes a fool of me…?

And then I feel tense, and its not until I remind myself that I trust MYSELF that I can relax and let him lead…and if he does hurt me, let me down-if I start to actaully feel bad, then I trust myself to not allow that, by either walking away, speaking my truth (or both!)....

And while actually doing this in the moment feels scary as hell….trusting ourselves is the best thing we can for ourselves.

The key is to constantly remind yourself that you trust yourself-I know if I stop, I start to forget...Its just like any other thing you study, anything worth its salt, like singing or dancing, or writing, or ANYTHING else that you love and strive to be good at- if you don’t use it, you lose it….

So here's a toast to loving ourselves and loving being a girl!

Keep Soaring!
