Believe in Yourself
Images
I tell everyone as well as anyone who will listen that If you don't believe in yourself, how can you expect others to believe in you?
It starts with ourselves by gaining clarity about who we want to be in the world. Confidence is like a muscle, the more you use it, the more it grows. And magic happens 😊
Age usually brings with it knowledge, wisdom and expertise so rely on others who will share it, or use it once you get it.
EIGHT

I used to embrace and look up to the number eight, but this morning I hate it as the temperature outdoors is a freezing cold EIGHT.
The number 8 is said to be the luckiest number in Chinese culture and they believe the more the merrier. I will have to test this theory when it's 88 degrees outside. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kle2xHhRHg4

Cuban Dancing

As a proud Cuban-American, I ask why our dances are the most popular, lively, and passionate forms of movement in the entire world.
These dances are characterized by delicate and sensual movements and provide both the practitioners and spectators with an unforgettable experience.
Cuban dance is as unique as the music that accompanies it. Cuban culture is highly diverse and one of the most interesting ways to begin to understand Cuban people is by exploring, watching, and trying the various dance forms which are popular here.
