Getting Involved

After some very unfortunate happenings with my previous work group, Hubby and I decided that I need a new hobby.  Something that will take up more of my time and get me involved in good, wholesome activities.
As belly dance has become a bigger part of my life, I decided the best thing to do would be to volunteer to help with the next big effort, the Winter Solstice feast.
Every year the Fremont Arts Council puts on several events.  The culmination of these events is the Winter Solstice Feast.  I have wanted to attend since I first heard about it, but have always been told it is “invitation only.” This year I decided to make sure I did what ever it took to garner an invitation.  I will attend!
And it looks like things are falling into place.  I am helping with various volunteer activities, learning the choreography for the dance we’re performing and raising my hand left and right to be a part of this community. 
The best part is the women I am working with.  I have been around these women for years and have always wanted to get to know them better.  Through this activity, and I am sure many more to come, I will build out a new circle of friends with interests like mine.  Hearts like mine.  They are beautiful women who love to dance and be creative.  Two things that I love dearly.
I’m excited for the next month!  It should be interesting.
