After many years of staying home with my children, and because I was now single and on my own, it was time for me to enter the ‘real world’ again. To tell you the truth, I was nervous and pretty insecure about the whole thing. I had a very comfortable existence while I was married with children hidden away from the general public, not needing to push myself at anything, since everything was taken care of for me. Now I am divorced, on my own once again, and getting back out there seems very intimidating to me. Although I would like to continue hiding, I know I must branch out, and take care of myself and my family, but I also recognized just how much I needed to find a way to boost my confidence, and was wondering how was I going to do it.
I am certainly not the type to give up or lay down, so I set an intention on building myself back up. I decided that if I was going to enter the world again, I was going to do it the right way. With ultimate presence and confidence, I would enter the world with a bang!
In perfect timing, I received a message from a friend asking me if I would like to go to tango lessons. I thought “wow that sounds like something that could be fun that I have never tried before”. So I put on a nice dress, did my hair, slipped on some heals and headed out.
As we were being taught the 8 steps to tango, I was taken back as to how much tango related to life, which is like a dance. She said that tango is about getting led, not knowing where you are going to arrive, but arriving confidently and on your axis. I thought wow! This is exactly what I am going through; this new beginning, not knowing, but being confident as I continue on. I was completely lit up inside. This was the recipe I was going to transfer into my life. I was practicing my posture, my presence and being confident in who I am. It was a perfect place to dance, to watch myself and to have fun.
So here I go…I will tango into the world, filling it with grace, beauty, class and passion, confidently following my intuitive guidance, knowing and having faith that I am being lead exactly where I am destined to be.
