I may have come from simple beginnings.. but my dreams have been as rich and lush as the plant life surrounding the most posh Carribean get away. I can't help this habit.. I've inherited the imagination from my Mother.. and this often has been my way to while survive the hours of the difficult times in my life.
I am now faced with the very adult decision of adjusting my schedule of my current creative outlet, Zumba Fitness with a new job. Dreamer or not.. I have to make a somewhat steady pay check.. and until I finally win the big millions in the State Lottery .. and buy my dream location .. where I can just teach Zumba classes until my heart's content.. (stil buying those lottery sampler tickets.. lol).
I am happily optimistic about my new day job... I have always been a fan of the downhome simple way of life.. and these folks seem to have a friendly laid back feel.. that is at the core of my nature.. yes.. I know some of you might find this hard to believe when you see me busting a move.. making animal and faux latina sounds during my classes. I think it comes from my Mother.. who have always admired the sweet simplicity of the Amish life style.. (she likes to read a free newsletter regarding this subject) and my late Grandma Naylor.. who survived her troubles.. and found contentment living in her humble plot of land skirting the nearby countryside.. while painting her landscape portraits and writing her biography and providing a source of spiritual comfort for the entire family.
Yet, I do dare to dream big.. and these are what keeps me from seeing the limits of what's in my backyard.. I am not a "Dorothy" type that doesn't dare go past my little Kansas farm.. I will venture out and party with the Wicked Witch of the North, South, East and West.. although I wouldn't turn my back on the latter lady.. we all know the drama she could cause if you are not careful.. but the world could still be yours.. even if your home base is in the Midwest.. we all have the core value and backgrounds of supportive family, friends and colleagues. I am forever grateful for that.. and the constant friendships I am building with the extremely talented and diverse world of Zumba Fitness.
NEVER STOP DREAMING BIG my people.. NEVER LIMIT yourself because of fear and doubts instilled in you by others.
MUCH LOVE AS ALWAYS
Jen (aka Jenijo)
