The road to being a famous mom rapper takes many a detour as I make a living to financially support my dreams. Right now I can’t think. I just finished day 2 of my NIA Blue Belt. There is 50 people in my training and 3 men. I don’t mean men aren’t people, it’s just always like that with NIA.
Today we had to do a relationship-to-the-music exercise. We had to listen to music for ourselves, then respond to the music, then perform (so to speak) for an audience.
Crap.
You know I sign up for this stuff, then realize it’s (H E L L O O O O O O) totally hard and out of my comfort zone. I’ve done this my whole life and I still wonder why.
I’ll never forget making my Mama go with me to some house in Sebastopol, California to do a hippie, Goddess gathering of some sort. Even then, at maybe 19, I was destined to do freaky dream shit and pay good money for it.
Maybe it’s a spiritual quest of some sort.
I probably should have just done mushrooms and skipped the humiliation. Anyway, Haze (my Mama) and I are at this hippie chicks house and she says we need to lay on the floor curled up. When the music starts, we are to unfold like a flower.
What?
I look over at my Mama and she’s all humped over, swinging her arms back and forth like a crazed circus elephant. I note she resembles nothing like an opening flower. I catch her eye and we both go hilariously helpless.
We were asked to leave.
Anyway, I’m getting in bed and resting my calves that feel like someone smacked them with a bat – repeatedly. I actually love it. I’m just looking for some sympathy.
To give you some idea what I do, what I teach and how I make my sisters get up and move check this out –
Go to nianow.com. What an awesome workout and so much more. At least I will be able to move in my rap videos.
What kind of freaky have your done for your dreams?
Did you drag your mother along?
