Day 9 of 52 Nia dance challenge
Today I chose the 40-minute online routine “Passion” with choreographer Kellie Chambers. At the end of the dance, she said: “Take this energy of passion and fuel it into the rest of your day.”
Which is why you are seeing a batch of home-made ketchup that I canned yesterday after coming home from Nia all jazzed up and ready.
While I’m a home canner (water bath, not pressure cooker), I hadn’t ever tried ketchup and now I know why. It’s a full day of peeling, gutting, cooking, spicing, simmering and simmering and freaking simmering! But I digress.
I appreciate how Nia echoes out into the rest of my life, and needed to hear the guidance on letting passion fuel today. I’m in the process of editing a book I wrote a few years ago, but that wasn’t perfect. I abandoned it after a few agents I queried rejected it. But earlier this summer it started muttering in a back corner of my mind and wouldn’t shut up.
I got it out, read it again and decided that I really do like it. And I saw how it had a thing that could be improved. I created a schedule for the revisions, but I’m midway through them and losing my early momentum. So, thank you Nia. I needed that little boost as I step into the rest of my day.
