I am late this month in professing what my goal will be for the countdown to 50. This time, I am not going to re-hash the last 6 months, I will save that for the big review in October.
Last night at Zumba, we were laughing about a move that is quite sensual in nature, to be honest. The Latin music oozes that feeling of, I don’t know if I can say it without blushing. I have a difficult time with that move and most moves along that line. I laugh out loud every time I have to do it. Judy says, “unlock your fear to unlock your rear”; and Laurie yells, “make me proud”…..neither of which is enough to get me to do it. So I am going to get my J-Lo on.
A friend of mine is an avid cyclist and was in hotel elevator all decked out in his cycling gear ready for the day’s event. A person in the elevator with him said to him, ” Hey, you’ve got your Lance on”, referring to Lance Armstrong. I loved that story and it stuck with me. Therefore, to apply that image to my situation, I will deck out and get a little attitude like Jennifer Lopez, sound good?
Somehow I think I would be better off with my ‘Lance on’ than my ‘J-Lo on’. This is a stretch for me.
This make take an entourage of assistance from my Zumba pals and friends from hair to make-up and wardrobe. I just threw out the mascara that my friend used on my eyes for my wedding day….. this could be costly and scary on many levels.
Perhaps I will wean into in this month and work on the J-Lo inside. The confidence and the way she carries herself in how she works her professional life. (I cannot speak to her private life). Let’s take it a day at a time and maybe my friends can help me through. I will try to think about it a little less and feel it a little more.
Either way, no one will confuse me for Jennifer Lopez at the end of the month. I can go about my life under the radar having a burger at Jumpin Jacks with my family…..and like Billy Idol sings, “Dancing with Myself”….doing Zumba for the wii practicing my moves in the basement!
Oh Karen, you have no fear and you make us all proud:)))
