I had to laugh when I read this. I feel like I have so little 'me time' and then, when I do have it, I'm not sure what to do first!

Isn't that always the way?

Love this, Dascha, and I think I may know of a woman who has danced alone like Nicola. (And, will in the future.) 😜

Hmm, I wonder who she might be. 😉

Yes, movement is so freeing! Surely would love to see Justin's video 😅

That is so funny, because yesterday was just that for me, only quiet wasn’t what I needed either. I put on my Google home to some heavy rock and danced (more like banged my head) all over the kitchen. I really needed that release from the sickening anxiety that had plagued me all day. So this story is right on the money for me!

I think it rings true for a lot of us, at least at some points in our lives.

This song will always hold a special place in my heart. Soon after the pandemic began, my principal required every teacher to submit a brief video of themselves dancing to this song with the audio muted. He and the IT department created a “music video” of the faculty/staff dancing to that song and sent it out to all of the families in our community. I’ll never forget it! I think of those teachers, my former students, and that strange time in our lives whenever I hear this song.

It was funny! It gave everyone a much needed laugh. 😄

Justin, it looks like several of us would like to see the clip of you dancing.

How about writing a story around this idea (loosely), and include a link to your clip?

You know, Jenise...that’s not a horrible idea. 😄

The only problem is finding the video. I must have saved it somewhere, but I can’t remember for the life of me! I should be able to track it down.

A pink Minnie Mouse guitar may or may not have ended up in my segment! 🤣
