In 2006, I formed two bellydance troupes, L.A. Tribal and Sisterhood of L.A Tribal. The latter, a student troupe, was dissolved in 2007. We had a motto, “Inspiring Women. L.A. Tribal.” I love the idea of women inspiring each other.
Recently I was at Starbucks and saw a journal they were selling during the holidays called One. The front endpaper said, “One of the greatest gifts you can give yourself or anyone else is inspiration,” reminding me of the L.A Tribal motto.
About a week later, after a late night driving (it started pouring rain on the way home) down to Fullerton, to dance with some ATS sisters, I walked in the door and found a flower arrangement (see photo) in the kitchen. I opened the card to discover the flowers were from friends who have been very supportive with my dance endeavors this year. They wanted to wish us a Merry Christmas and included, “Thanks for inspiring. . . .”
I get gung-ho about ideas but when others support me; there’s no stopping me. My latest endeavor is to participate in the “Love Your Body” campaign with some of my belly dance sisters in 2010. I am so excited to be surrounded by inspiring women (and the men who support them)—it’s infectious!
