Hello Goddess!
Thanks for your blog post! I have been feeling happier since starting your class! I feel much more alive! I can't wait for the next session to start! Level two! Can't wait!
Make 2009 your year of HAPPINESS!!!
2009-01-01Happy New Year!
2008 was an amazing year for me. A great year of healing and gratefulness. The birth of my baby girl Bianca put so many things in perspective. Being a dancer my entire life, I have spent most of my life in front of a mirror. I had developed many bad habits in my thinking and developed some unhealthy perceptions regarding beauty and self-acceptance. Suffering from an eating disorder as a kid and building many walls around my heart, pregnancy was a fabulous healing experience. Being pregnant forced me to let all that go and embrace the miracle of what a female body can do. Wow, my body made that little baby.
Now that I am comfortably well on my way to motherhood, some of those old programmed HABITUAL thoughts come knocking at my door. Conditions and reasons why I simply cannot be happy. If I let my mind go long enough, the list could get really long. ..but then I had a thought. Why...could I not just decide that I was going to be happy? Happiness is after all, a perception of your reality. So what is it that will make my reality better? Do I need to adjust my reality?....or my perception? Maybe a bit of both? Where do I need healing? Where am I out of balance?
Funny enough right there, I decided..yup, 2009 is going to be fabulous and I am going to force myself to live my best life RIGHT NOW! Why wait? Really, why wait?
My burlesque project has become so inspirational. I get to connect with so many fabulous women, all who have a story, and all who are looking for some sort of healing. I have had some amazing feedback this year as women thank me for allowing themselves to embrace the femininity. Some of you said they had never touched themselves, never freely moved to music, never laughed at themselves..and most commonly it was the first time they could JUST BE themselves without any labels or judgement. All of this makes me realize, we are a community of women all suffering from the same thing. It is only us, women, that can change the conditions for ourselves. If you want to live your best life and let your negative conditioned thinking and past go...now is the time!
Make 2009 the year dedicated to you. Only you can put yourself first. I urge you to embrace the powerful, sexy and confident woman inside of you!
Hope to see you in class.

You are so right!! How can we pass on all that we have learned, loved, endure, etc, if we do not believe in ourselves to begin with or have simply lost ourselves. I am learning to make myself #1, and being a part of this dynamic group is one small step to take to finding the real you.
Thank you for being my friend Lady Di and for helping to guide me in my personal journey.
Love always
You are so right! As a youthful mature woman, I realize that when I was a young woman, I never had the confidence that I do now. Much of this newly attained confidence has come from taking your classes amoung other dance classes. I was always terrified to get up and perform in front of an audience. My 2008 resolution was to get out and perform. I did and I gained so much more confidence from that. Live life with passion like there is no tomorrow and dance as if no one is watching. I wonder what 2009 is going to hold for me. I know it's going to be an exciting rollercoaster ride for sure.
Posted by Wendy on 2009-01-01 at 08:39 PM2009 is the year for me to focus on me as well. After spending many years making sure all was working out for others I just got tired and worn out so... now they are all going to have to look after themselves. Thanks Di for being you and being so supportive of all of us out there learning that our bodies can move... even if we groan in class cause we think we can't do it.
Looking so forward to 2009 and my Sunday mornings in the church of Di!!!!!
You have been so inspirational for me... after being in Burlesque I can now look at myself and love every single part of me as opposed to finding something new I didn't like every time I looked in a mirror.
Everytime someone asks me about Burlesque (I wear my burlesque shirt to the gym sometimes) I tell them if you're looking for something amazing... go join. Words can't describe how fabulous it is.
Looking forward to 2009... and everything it has to offer.
Diva Di......you are one hot lady and I'm so very glad that you have reminded me that I am too.
I love your classes and I can't wait till they start again. I was reminded how truly wonderful I am through your classes.
The most emotional part for me was when you would turn out the lights as we turned around to face outside the circle...you said...just let go...let it all go...your day, your stresses...whatever and just move to the music. That was so liberating.....
Don't you know that it's correct time to get the mortgage loans, which would help you.
Posted by Madelyn27Bass on 2012-01-01 at 01:50 PMSome time before I was concentrated on my website sales increasing. I tried to utilize various systems of links building but I did not get up my ranking. I think that is worth to turn to company to buy link. I know various guys who utilize seo links building campaigns. So, all of them have got higher ranking!

Posted by MarissaFernandez29 on 2012-01-09 at 04:46 AMJust seo issues by directory submission sites supposes to be efficient if we talk just about site optimization. But, quantities of businessmen do not understand that. Therefore, they don't strive to use optimization companies and it is a big mistake because experts can improve traffic fast.
