Me a Rock Star?? No!!

Starting up Zumba Here in Essaouira has been a beautiful experience, starting over always is.  I am very thankful to the creator for the guidance to get certified to teach. I am slowly learning French, but I still don’t know enough to have a conversation…. Today I had my first Tiny Tot class, and since the little ones don’t really speak English, my face expressions were really big.  They loved it, the mom’s loved it, so job well done. Wednesday is my busy day cause I teach 3 classes, for the most part I try to teach class when the girls are in school, but since Wednesday is a half day I teach children on this day. After my Tiny Tot class I headed to a nearby school for another class. When I arrived the children were outside shouting my name MA-HA-TA-RA!! MA-HA-TA-RA!!..... They don’t really speak English either so I’t a good thing my name is not…lol…. When we walked in they were all trying to hug and kiss me. It reminded me of when Michael Jackson went to South Africa.. Nana said “Wow mommy you’re like a rock star!!” That was an awesome feeling. I did a dance presentation, and then taught a class. They loved it, I was loving it, so job well done.  People keep asking me when I’m planning on coming back to the states??? The question I’m asking “What’s the rush?” The day I turned 30 for the second time I promised myself that I am going to live the hell out of my next 30 years……..I think I’m doing a good job living up to that promise. But look at it this way if I don’t come back, you have a home in Africa…. Maybe it’s time for a vacation………..
