I just realized it’s been exactly one year since I began writing about my flamenco experiences. A whole year! To be honest, when I started this blog, I thought it would be one more thing I start but never follow through with. I couldn’t imagine coming up with regular topics to write about, but now I sometimes have to refrain from posting more than a couple times a week. It just goes to show how this art form stirs so many thoughts and emotions.
I honestly believe writing about my dancing has made me a stronger dancer. It’s just the way my brain works, I guess. It helps me organize my thoughts, see patterns in my approach and behavior, and then find  solutions for things that aren’t working for me. And it’s fun to look back and see how far I’ve come, even in just one year. It helps me maintain perspective and a sense of humor about it all.
I think this is going to be a good year for me. I think I’m going to make a lot of progress. I can’t wait to look back at this time next year.
Thank you all for keeping up with me, encouraging me, and especially for laughing with me on this journey.
