Sailing towards and stepping into your Passion. Most of you know I left my full-time corporate world to follow my passion of Nia and fully step into my purpose in life. Though I had been preparing, when I walked into the office of my human resource Partner to tell her I was leaving, the doubts and tears flowed. Being the sweet and compassionate soul, she immediately gave me a book titled "The Traveler's Gift" by Andy Andrews, that has proved to be the best gift I could have received at that moment. You see this book is about following your dreams, believing in yourself, owning decisions, taking action, following your heart and passion...and MORE!. The book's message is said through the eyes of famous and courageous historical personalities, and one of them is Columbus. Columbus' part is about passion, following a dream even though others do not believe, to see what others can't see, and to have a decided and committed heart. "Passion is a product of the heart. Passion is what helps you when you have a great dream...will motivate others to join you...will overcome insurmountable obstacles. You will become unstoppable." And with this passion, you find a committed heart for success no matter what challenges are sent to you. This book and message will always resonate within me.
Now our focus! Nia is about Passion. The passion to become intimate with and knowledgeable about my body, and explore all the unique ways I can move to self heal. The passion that through movement I can find health. The passion to chose sensation - the voices of our body - so I can make decisions in the moment to bring peace and joy to my body. The passion and conviction that I can enhance my life and live to my potential by listening to and loving my body. The passion to go beyond where I have been, to break habits, to open to my potential and express who I am. The passion to share my gifts with the world. And that is what I love to do...share Nia! So in honor of Columbus day, and to all those who have supported me along my path, let's dance this week and sail towards and step into OUR passion. Hmmm...I think I will start the week off with the Nia routine, Passion!!! Dancing to the music and expressing your unique spirit!
