Tonight I danced to the K-pop song “Lemonade,” and my heart is so full. 💛✨
Almost 8 months ago, I decided to find my way back to dancing. It hasn’t been easy.
Dancing with plantar fasciitis means there are days when my feet hurt, and I have to wear a compression sock to help manage the pain.
Some days I move slower, take more breaks, and listen to my body in ways I never had to before.
But I kept showing up.
And every step, every song, every dance has been worth it.
Dancing again has given me something I didn’t realize I had been missing—it has brought me back to myself.
Mentally, emotionally, and even spiritually, I feel more like the woman I used to be… and maybe even a stronger version of her.
This journey has reminded me that healing doesn’t always mean waiting until the pain is gone.
Sometimes healing happens while you’re dancing through the pain, choosing joy anyway, and refusing to give up on the things that make you come alive.
Here’s to almost 8 months of dancing, healing, and rediscovering myself one song at a time. 💃💛

At Hip-Hop class yesterday, a 22-year-old beside me asked if I was "getting back into it." Umm, excuse me little miss, I never left. 💃🏼 #hiphop#dancer#dancing
It's Monday and I'm deciding to show up for myself. 🏋🏼♀️
53 years in. Plus size. Compression socks under these socks. And I'm still choosing movement, still choosing me, still choosing the best health of my life.
Not the health I used to have. Not what anyone else thinks I should have. The best health of my life. The one I'm building right now, today, this morning.
My goal isn't a number on a scale. It's how I feel when I finish. Stronger in ways that don't show. Capable in ways that surprise me. Here in a body that keeps letting me try.
Your best health? It's not behind you. It's whatever you start today. 💛
