tina turner…
A bombshell I admire and have since I was a kid…
Dancing in the living room, with my Mom,
to Proud Mary…
Now THAT is a work out…yet doesn’t seem like it
Yes, part of my retro fitness…
Letting the music take over and just MOVE
with wild abandon….
But there is so much more to this lady that I admire…
The sexiness…the determination…the strength…the creativity….she said it best
Sometimes you’ve got to let everything go…purge yourself. If you are unhappy with anything
whatever is bringing you down….get rid of it….
Because you will find that when you’re free, your TRUE creativity, your TRUE self comes out!
Perhaps, that is more of the journey we are on…to let go of the fear …the unhappiness…to find that TRUE creativity. I heard a long, long time ago, that we are all creative beings…our problems start…stop…and continue when we block that creativity…its the creative energy..that flow that holds us back…
in that infamous quote by Marianne Williamson……
Our greatest fear is not that we are inadequate, but that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us. We ask ourselves,who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, handsome, talented, and fabulous? Actually,who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God within us. It is not just in some; it is in everyone. And, as we let our own light shine,we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our fear, our presence automatically liberates others
Personally, I think that light is our own unique creativity. As children, we are naturally attune to our imaginations. Making houses out of cardboard boxes, having a castle amongst the tree limbs, being in a dangerous forest while hiding amongst the hedges in the yard or playing dress up in Momma’s clothes.
Then, somehow, it all changes….we take on that responsibility…that perfection…that fitting in, that being small to not rock the boat…and we stifle that creativity. That need to create something that is not overcome by fear…the fears of others passed on to us which we allow to grow and loom inside us. So today, take yourself back, take yourself within……Close your eyes…and imagine…
and the mad thing starts…ooh sacrifice
never in your wildest dreams, did you ever get this feeling
never in your wildest dreams, oh no
never in your wildest dreams can it ever feel this easy,
never in your wildest dreams, oh..oh
Tell me…
What is your WILDEST dream?
i’ve been detached from my wildest dreams and creativity that i’m not really sure what they are any more. but I’ve been slowly getting back to my creative self and the clouds are starting to clear. the image is starting to form. and it will be amazing!
I adore Tina Turner! She overcame so much to find herself, her own strength and creativity. What a woman!
Holy cow… I just spent a half hour watching Tina on youtube performing at age 70, exuding such passion and energy… simply the best, that’s Tina.
To do something I love and find passion!
Gosh, such an easy question . . . . NOT! What is my wildest dream? I have absolutely no idea. Everything I come up with doesn’t seem wild enough. Well, okay — here’s a sort of R-rated one. Definitely not highly evolved or spiritual. But fun!
I have two men in my life. One is the young and gorgeous stud who is tireless in bed and looks really good on my arm when I go to school reunions. And of course he is madly, passionately in love with me. And then there is the older, wiser man who is sophisticated, well-traveled, a great conversationalist, funny, intelligent. Also madly, passionately in love with me. Neither lives with me because I like my space, but they are both available at a moment’s notice (i.e. at my beck and call). They know about each other and aren’t jealous — well, just a little bit jealous so I feel loved and appreciated but not so jealous that they end up being pains in the neck. And, no, this arrangement does NOT include a menage a trois scenario.
Full disclosure: This dream seems so wild to me that I can’t even write it without a huge “you’ve got to be kidding, Carol” grin on my face. But it’s fun to think about. God forbid it should ever come true. I wouldn’t know how the heck to handle it!
