New experiences
Last night I stepped out of my comfort zone. I went to the Alvin Ailey Dance performance at the Bass Hall in Ft. Worth. The step out point was that I went all by myself and I had a absolutely fabulous time!!!! I tried to get someone to go with me but everyone was either not interested, too much money, in Ft. Worth, on a Tuesday night, etc., etc. I wanted to go bad so I just decided to make a GROWN WOMAN move and go by myself. I tell you that was the best decision I could have made. I purchased a box seat and picked my ticket up at willcall. One of the great things about the night was the Bass Hall!! That place is BEAUTIFUL!!! It was easy access, the parking was great and free. The box seat was perfect. There were 6 other people sitting there and they were all very friendly. Especially the older couple (in their 80's). The lady told me that I was just so pretty to her :). The performance was out of site dynamite!!!! I loved every moment. I just do believe I was a dancer living in New York in my past life!! What was so funny and great was how empowered I felt!!!!! I had a great time never once feeling lonely or that I needed a man or a girlfriend with me. I was just at peace, full of joy enjoying a great night!!!! You know everyone must do the solo thing, you will definately find out a little something about yourself. I also purchased a t-shirt since it was their 50th anniversary. I will post a picture when I figure out how to do it......

Do your thang GROWN WOMAN!
ReplyDeleteYou said several things that note commenting:
ReplyDelete1) comfort zone - sometimes they become our prisons...so step out of it!
2) go by myself - the #1 is a whole number....until we are comfortable with numero uno (ourselves) we can't be comfortable with someone else.
3) box seat - you did something special for yourself that didn't involve removing a store tag! Shopping doesn't always do it for us as we grow and mature. Fact is, there are only some many pairs of shoes, pants and skirts a girl can wear!
4) pretty - the lady next to you saw your outside, but believe me the inside was shining too!
5) empowered - it's a journey, not a destination...it takes practice and guts.
6) past life - we are our past, present and futures....if we just believe in ourselves!
