I was focused more on executing the steps rather than being completely present with her and moving together. When I included her in my awareness and focused on being connected in motion, it felt so much better!by

  • ↳onHello, I'm Lori and I'm intrigued by the concept of this platform.  I know an insufficient amount about everything and provide expertise in absolutely nothing.  But I love to read, listen and learn from the other's perspectives.  And when I say "learn," it could mean learn that you're brilliant, dull minded, open minded,  opinionated, or simply just talking out of your a*s.  So many today just wing it and repeat slogans when challenged, following blindly into wherever it takes them, without any substantial or legitimate proof...and I tend to use run-on sentences to ensure you get bored.  😁byLloriezell

    Your authenticity and self awareness are impressive. You present as someone with life experience that knows their flaws but uses their experience to help others.
