Added new bits to the choreography – locks and dramatic arm movements. Spent half the lesson on ballet arms. Apparently my wrist actions are getting better – still a long way to go though. I’m becoming more motivated to put in the practice – I think the muscles are laying down memory. I listen to the song over and over again. Its a good thing no one else shares my car and the brilliant thing is I can now match the moves to the music in my head. I’m constantly doing the dance in my head.

Had meeting with S today about being ‘stuck’ with my writing. I thought it was because I am so happy and most of the stuff I have written about is dark. Turns out its because I’m afraid of not being good enough. Now where has that been lurking. Need to start sharing my work again, the good, the bad and the ugly. I’ve had three invites to perform. I”ve been very reluctant recently but will accept and get back out there on the stage. Need to be like that frog in the David Attenburough programme that just freefalls. I’ve been a bit too planned recently – need to just let go; surrender to the will of ‘God’ the Universe, Infinite Intelligence.

Picture is from February 2005, Paradise Island, Bahamas. How carefree is that hanglider? Need to remember every day that life can be like this.
