A Charlie Brown Christmas Tour! - 2 years casting this tour and 4 casts. So many peanuts - so much joy! #proud2bewojcikseay (more pics below)

Hi Friends! Happy Sunday Funday. The sun is shining even though we are still in quarantine.

This morning I finally motivated myself to do an online exercise class. A huge step forward. It happened to be a class I used to do every Sunday for years (before I moved to Brooklyn). Afro-Fusion Burn with Irina Peschan. This instructor is a ball of energy and a bundle of LIFE. I hadn’t been in this class for about 4 or 5 years, so when I reached out to her for the Zoom link I was definitely nervous. She was thrilled and responded “It took a quarantine to get you to dance with me again?”

I signed into Zoom today and I danced so hard and silly today in my cramped apartment space and I felt extreme joy the entire time. Now, I’ve committed myself to taking class again every week - clearly, it’s feeding my soul.

But, I thought about her question - “It took a quarantine to get you to dance with me again?” She’s right that’s insane. I know I’m in Brooklyn and class is usually in Manhattan on Sunday mornings, but what has been my problem? Note to self: NO MORE EXCUSES - not for the activities and the people that bring joy. So, it’s decided…when the quarantine lifts, I will be getting my lazy butt out of bed and making the trek into Manhattan to dance.

What things have you made excuses to avoid in your pre-quarantine life? Is it time to re-visit them?

In case you are interested in the class follow Afro Fusion Burn with Irina Peschan on Facebook for all of the details and join me for some fun!

In quiet time, there is clarity - you just have to recognize it when it hits you in the face…
