Inspired Desire for 2016

Today I am inspired by The Wisdom Bloggers Sisterhood on Facebook to follow this month's prompt and write about  desires for the coming year. I had already been lining up plans for more fun ways to connect with my body . Then I saw this pin on Pinterest and it sealed the deal.
Since my body is where I have been living all these years , it's about time I start appreciating her! Casting my net for some fun activities I opened an email from Tracy Campoli and discovered this!

I bought the rebounder Tracy uses and it has been SO MUCH FUN!! Just a few minutes a day really gets your energy flowing. I can't quite dance on it yet- but I am getting there... It is really a good "play-in" ;^) especially for balance!
As if that was not enough, mindbodygreen offered this post

 and this one

If you want to consider Everyday Ballet go here http://www.everydayballet.co/mbg-visitors/
and at the very bottom of the page is a lovely video of arm movement! It changed my life! More on how that is happening on my next next blog!
PLEASE NOTE: I am not affiliated with Tracy Campoli or Tiekka Tellier! I have bought some of their programs and I LOVE following them.
I did not even realise that one of my heart's deepest desires was to return to ballet. I knew that I want to inspire myself and  other women to embody our ageless beauty. I was surprised to find myself returning to a practice I loved and had abandoned decades ago!
This year is really about becoming the best - most beautiful - happy me that I can be.
My desire is to inspire YOU to  do the same and embody your ageless beauty!

Most women take care of everybody else first. It is time for us to take care of ourselves, too. It sounds like you are finding ways to do just that. I love learning about any kind of art, so, I am taking a printing course.

Thank you, Beth! A printing course sounds fascinating. Are you posting some of your art on Pinterest ,Facebook or on a blog/website?

I read just about every post from mindbodygreen.com every day. I wish I'd not stopped blogging in 2014. I quit right before my 2-year metamorphosis. Keep blogging!

Thank you, Susan! Sometimes we need to stop things we enjoy to grow in another direction - and sometimes we begin doing them again! I appreciate your comment!
