As we turn 4, I am reminded of how I wanted to have it all figured out at the beginning of our journey. I wanted to know what classes we would hold, what topics we would blog about, which dancers we would host on our channel, and what direction we were going to take. I wanted to have a full plan laid out. While this self-imposed pressure birthed some sense of security for the months to come, it also took a huge toll on me when things didn't go as planned. It got to a point where I often broke down because I felt like everything was falling apart despite my best efforts. I didn't have it all quite figured out like I desired.
Reflecting on our journey, I am reminded of both the challenges we have had to overcome over the years and the highlights we have experienced that remind us of our purpose. The lesson we continue to learn this year is to trust the process and take it one day at a time. I am discovering that I don't have to have it all figured out. I am noticing that if we can be intentional about simply figuring out what's needed in the present moment, the rest figures itself out in due time. This shift of perspective has proven to be monumental in our journey.
As we turn 4, my heart is filled with gratitude. Gratitude for the support from you, dancer friends. Gratitude for the vision that keeps us going. Gratitude for the journey that holds our story. Gratitude for God's grace that has us still standing 4 years later! May our story keep unfolding. Happy Anniversary to us!
