I'm not very good at this updating stuff I
guess...sorry about that. My
biggest apology goes out to Emily.

I had Capoeira class last night, I love it so
much...I've got a long way
to go in learning it seeing how I only started a
week ago today. It's
the first artform I've attempted and felt even in
the midst of my
stumbling mistakes, I really do have the movement in
my body. In dance
class all through out learning the technique I keep
myself going, but I
can't really picture the graceful movement on myself
when my pictures of
dancers are all tall and thin, crazy flexible girls.
I've always told
myself that this is a tainted way to percieve things
in...what happens
is that I try to change myself to line up with my
mental pictures of
what I should be to actually become a dancer...not
what I am. With
Capoeira I know I don't have all the movement, but
I'm content to make
it work on the way my body looks and feels
now...most of the time I hold
back though because of fear...which is bad. The
seeing myself do
something is a big step, and I'm excited to see how
God keeps using this
experience to "enlarge the place of my tent" so to
speak...I don't know
if that makes sense but at least there's something
new on my xanga!

Mom and I are gonna go thrifting today after we drop
my brother off at
work. I also am going to get my DBA...more to come
on that subject soon
though :)

Peace Out,

Johanna Elise
