ON THE EDGE OF GLORY

All of the details are coming together- I decided on my Rhythm dress, It’s the same dress  I fell in love with several months ago, but instead of red I chose Peacock blue which turned out to a perfect color for me. Today Antonio took me to a warehouse to get shoes. The place was far- Located over the river, through the woods and down the yellow brick road. When I get there I see why so many people make the pilgrimage to the store, the shoes are not only pretty l but they fit the feet well. I picked shoes with flexible soles which help me point my feet beautifully. After picking out a rhythm and a smooth dance shoe and the sales person shows a me another rhythm shoe based on my foot that fits even better. All that’s left is accessories and bling for my costumes and I’ll be all set!

Later on today we has a coaching session - ARRRRRGGGGGHHHH! I could just scream at the top of my lungs.  I wrote an earlier post called Eagle training about how Antonio was teaching me to soar. Well today Antonio drop kicked me from the nest permanently, so if I don’t spread my wings I will go splat right on the pavement.(ha-ha) It's time to go to the next level, what I am doing now is no longer good enough. Of course the tough love talk comes before we do the Tango so I let my feelings of agitation fuel me. I’m so angry Ironically I’m not overthinking the steps and I know I am doing better, as confirmation I get a straight faced "better." From Antonio. The thing is I know he's right. I feel like it's time to grow and this growth is painful. I receive these hard words and I start seeking for the internal fire. After class I am practicing the same Rumba step over and over.  I am on the edge of glory and this is what it will take to get to the next level.
