Let me tell you a story about my friend

Caressa was the first Jammer friend I told I was invited to train as a ZJ. She was the first ZJ to offer to co-jam with me. *There was essentially a three-way tie within days of each other, so I hope my favorite ZJ’s turned friends don’t come for me. *

Each year, right around the same time I was feeling a sense of defeat after never quite making it far enough in the Zumba Next Rising Presenter process, a Jam or a visit with Caressa and her big hugs and kind words and freeing moves have always been one of my safe spaces.

We’ve flown out East. We’ve surprised her for a 48 hour vacation. We’ve had matching jackets, matching shirts, matching red lipstick each time. With Caressa is always our Kayla, a word who is both friend and adjective because of how she shows up for others. Some friends you match and fly and plan for. Friends just like these.

And in less than a week they will both be here. HERE. And dancing and laughing again in this whole crew will be reunion and union, therapy and think tank, all in one.

See you soon, grrrrls 🥰

The second I get to class ✨🌈♥️



Because joy happens when you do it on purpose and therapy comes in all forms. 🍑

Can you relate? ⭐️



Comparison is natural. our brains have had to help us decide how to be safe for centuries. Comparison is just one tool to do that.

When you look at that tool, though, can you tell if it is helping you or hurting you? If it helps you to grow, because you notice some way, you can learn and grow and work harder than jump and use it to make yourself the kind of you you want to be.

But if the comparison is hoping you’ll get younger or thinner or smoother or richer than the hours of Insta aren’t worth it. Those toxins don’t grow really anything.

So hype yourself up, put your real self out there, the right people will grab on. If you see this and you’re feeling ’reFeelingUnseenOrFeelingNotShinyOrNotCool,KnowThis.You’reNotAlone.Allof us wonder that sometimes.

But you and me can be brave together.

Sometimes change is good.



I am not always a fan but I always go with it. Because what am I going to do, fight it, grow tired, get angry, give up? No. It’s not worth it. At the end of the day, change is inevitable and all we can do to make it easier on ourselves is to flow with it.



As my hubby says, don’t be the rock, be the river.

No more highlights. No more low lights. No more face framing and money pieces and bleach. Just something closer to my natural hair color and something manageable.

Because thinning happens and gray hairs happen, I’m just taking a little time to flow with it all rather than fight it too much longer.
