Hot, fiery and sexy...

is what I like to call my Circle Journal entry for Group 1. I have Dawn's journal which needs to be shipped out today. I'm happy that I finished it on time. It took me a lot time to think about the approach I was going to take with her journal. Her theme is on music. Well I love all kinds of music! Funny cause the next journal I'm to receive for Circle Journal 2 from her, is also about music. Too funny.
Okay back to Dawn's journal. Well I decided to do an entry about Salsa music. I know there is a strong likelihood Ms. Thang knows squat about Salsa which was the deciding factor for me to go that route. In addition to the pages, I made a CD for her containing my favorite old school Salsa tunes. I hope she does give it a listen. I know she will not understand the lyrics, but listen to the music.
So here is my entry in its entirety:
Journaling: Anyone who knows me, knows that I have a deep love and appreciation for all types of music. I’m always blasting music, either in my car, in my home and especially while I scrap. I love to go to concerts, etc. However, if I had to narrow it to one genre of music, that resonates with me, it would be Salsa.
I grew up listening to Salsa. Every time I hear it playing it takes me way back to when I was a little girl and going to family parties and watching the elders dance. They were always having a good time, their intricate steps hard for me to follow, but mesmerizing nonetheless. My favorite would be around Christmas time, when family and friends would gather together and go on our parrandas (Puerto Rican caroling) from house to house, singing, dancing, playing our musical instruments from the island, singing folklore and sharing stories. This was to be followed by lots and lots of eating. Food was plentiful and my belly was very appreciative.
In my adulthood, I still have not learned how to dance Salsa, but enjoy the music and people watch. I love to watch others, their movements, they way the dress, very sexy, very intimate and always passionate.
I’ve included in my circle journal entry a CD containing some of my favorite old school Salsa songs. I hope you give it a listen.
So that is it and off it goes.
So this site is up and running.
Hope you can check it out. I tried to post my introduction days ago and low and behold, Typepad didn't like my post and refused to post it. So in the meantime I have to figure out how to post. Always something with me, things are never easy.
I'm at home today taking care of Josh. His fever has gone down, but he still had a vomiting spell so we are keeping him under careful observation for another day. Pumping the meds and the liquids. Thanks to all for the kind thoughts and prayers.
Later,
A.
