Dancing can be an act of love where we connect to the other in our life in a deep and intimate way. It is the expression of the love we feel for each other put to music.

Positive Thought of the Day ~ Who You Are is Enough
“Be yourself and people will like you.” ~ Jeff Kinney
When my youngest daughter was nearly three I saw that she put her shoes on the wrong feet. I said, “Do you know you put your shoes on the wrong feet?” She answered, “But Dad, these are the only feet I have.” Who we are is all we have, why not love the who we are and not try to be someone else? You’re perfect the way you are.
Feeling Good Tip of the Day ~ Hang Out With Happy People
Spend Time with Positive People
Negativity and positivity have been shown to be contagious. Consider the people with whom you’re spending time. Have you noticed how someone in a bad mood can bring down almost everyone in a room? A positive person has the opposite effect on others.
Being around positive people has been shown to improve self-esteem and increase your chances of reaching goals. Surround yourself with people who will lift you up and help you see the bright side.

5 Tips to Lighten Up and Laugh at Yourself

- Laugh at your mistakes: When you make a mistake, don’t take it too seriously. Instead, laugh at yourself and your error. It will help you to take the situation lightly and not be too hard on yourself.
- Share your embarrassing stories: We all have embarrassing stories, and sharing them with others can help you to laugh at yourself. It will show that you are not perfect, and it’s okay to make mistakes.

Positive Thought of the Day ~ Soar with the Eagles
“Optimism doesn’t wait on facts. It deals with prospects. Pessimism is a waste of time.” Norman Cousins
I’ve met and worked with optimists and pessimists. Given a choice, I’ll choose to hang out with optimists 100% of the time. A pessimist will drag you down into the mud. An optimist will teach you to fly. It’s time to fly and to soar with the eagles. Yes, you can!
Health Tip of the Day ~ Should You be Drinking Kombucha?
Kombucha has Promising Health Benefits
Kombucha is a fermented tea that’s fizzy, tart, and flavorful. It’s made from either green or black tea and offers these drinks’ potent health-promoting properties.Animal studies suggest that drinking kombucha may help protect the liver from damage caused by exposure to harmful chemicals. Plus, test-tube studies have found that kombucha may help induce cancer cell death and prevent the spread of cancer cells. Some animal studies have even found that kombucha may help decrease blood sugar, triglyceride, and LDL (bad) cholesterol levels. Kombucha’s antioxidant content is thought to be responsible for many of its possible positive effects.
Although these results are promising, further human research is needed. Thanks to its rising popularity, kombucha can be found at most major grocery stores. But be sure to read the nutrition label and ingredients so you know what’s in the bottle. Many kombucha drinks are high in added sugar, and others may contain sugar substitutes such as sugar alcohols, which some people may prefer to avoid. You can make kombucha at home, but it should be prepared carefully to prevent contamination or over fermentation.
Poem of the Day ~ My Heart Leaps Up
My Heart Leaps Up
William Wordsworth
My heart leaps up when I behold
A rainbow in the sky:
So was it when my life began;
So is it now I am a man;
So be it when I shall grow old,
Or let me die!
The Child is father of the Man;
And I could wish my days to be
Bound each to each by natural piety.
