Not Broken...
So the big subject this month has been tidying (aka the Marie Kondo ���Life-Changing Magic of Tidying��� or Spark Joy as I believe the new book is called). It���s a subject that I���ve been going on about in class as most days I come in having struggled through another step in the process (and it is a very prescriptive process - which, she says, is why it works). It means going through all of your possessions one by one, including old letters and yes, photos - taking each one out of the album. I���m exhausted, but done... apart from the photos on the wall. I think it has already started changing my life (especially my kitchen!) as there have been some big shifts lately. As she says, when you let go of one thing it comes back to you in a different form. I let go of paperwork and an important certificate arrived in the post the next day. I let go of some work and this week I have had EIGHT bookings for classes with people with disabilities. I let go of old business cards (and apparently now business contacts will be approaching me).
I have thrown away or given away or recycled HALF of all my stuff (how did I fit it in the house?) And it made me realise how little I really need. How the really wonderful things were hidden behind all the crap. How I was holding onto stuff I didn���t want or need anymore. But it has been excruciating at times. Because hidden amongst all the dross were some things that brought back really sad memories, terrible regrets, things that I really didn���t want to see or feel. Which is probably why I hid them in a great big pile of dross.
I still have bags of stuff for the charity shop, a box of documents that need shredding (you put the paper shredding in with your compost by the way - that���s the green way to deal with it!) and very special things that I want to frame properly or get cases for, furniture to move and lots of decorating and fixing up that needs to happen. But as I sat here today thinking that this whole process had just about broken me, I remembered one of my favourite expressions: ���We���re not broken, we���re just not finished yet.���
First Class Free For Men - Feb 2016 and something for the ladies
Yes, it���s free first class for men and, as I don���t want the ladies to feel left out, if you bring a friend for a first class you get a water bottle or bag - or if you bring yourself to your first class you get the goodies!

This is a track we���re doing in some of my Zumba Fitness and Zumba Gold classes. The day I did this for the first time someone sent me a video of the oldest Hip Hop Crew ever - average age about 80 years old! They look good, but I would love to show them how my Zumba Gold classes freestyle the robot - awe...some!
Anyway, here���s a little video so you can keep on having fun with those robot moves.
