Dancing Highlights of the Week!

Last week, I spent a few days with the sweetest man in the world. The magnetic attraction I feel towards him is an incredible and new experience for me. I feel humbled by the fact that I won't see him for months, yet I also feel inspired to deepen and nurture my creative inner life in the meantime.

This past week, I've been dancing to pop/r&b songs from the past, since @mada said he could picture me as a backup dancer for Janet Jackson. The funny thing is, I often fantasized about doing just that when I was a little girl. R&B soul music was a big part of my childhood, from Smokey Robinson and Gladys Knight, to disco dance classics, to steamy 90s vibes: D'Angelo, Tevin Campbell, Maxwell, New Edition, and more. Yum!

One of my favorite memories was feeling tipsy at some sort of celebration gathering for public school educators. It was at a local bar known for its karaoke nights, which happened to be that night. At one point, I remember hearing Whitney Houston sing to me in my head. Without thinking, I sashayed up to the stage and requested her beautiful song "The Greatest Love of All." I sang my heart out and actually received a standing ovation! This song was totally there for me when I would feel down as a child. I would cry my eyes out to this song :')

Here's a video of me dancing and playing with Instagram's augmented reality filters! The floor was super slippery due to the misty morning environment, but I shuffle danced anyways :) Hope you enjoy, Hive community!

Earlier this week, I was inspired to vibe out to some Mariah Carey, Janet Jackson, and Whitney Houston.

Haha, love this screenshot for the cover image.
