We...you and I...try to fit into sooo many different molds.
We try to be the best children our parents could have, the best siblings, the best spouse...the best dancer.
We work so hard to try to be that we haven't taken a moment to consider that we're fine just as we are.
You needn't try any harder any longer...you're just fine.
That is not to say that improvement shouldn't come...people change and grow and learn...but the improvements that you make should be on your own behalf. The idea of living up to someone else's standard is soooo "yesterday".
Belly Dance, in theory (learning) and execution (dancing) is very much a vehicle for such progress in ones own journey through life.
Your body was created perfectly for your life. You are not "too" anything. You are tall enough, or petite enough, large enough or small enough. Your hair is long enough, your breasts perfectly sized. Your wonderful shape enables you to tell the story of your life with your body. Ample hips enable your movements to soar, a teeny body tremors with shimmies that send chills through a grateful audience!
Please honor yourself and this dance by giving yourself permission...and the grace to learn in good time. The movements, as well as the lessons they teach will unfold slowly...but...soon you will feel like the Goddess you really are.
