$25 for free. No kidding.

This Saturday is "Small Business Saturday" sponsored by American Express. If you preregister your American Express card with them at the following link, you can get a $25 credit on your next statement IF you shop at a small business this Saturday.

Yes, that's right, you get to spend $25 on whatever you want at a small business and then they give that money right back to you. I did it last year, so I can vouch for it being legitimate. They have many underwriters that provide the funding. 

Don't forget, you MUST preregister at the link above, and then shop THIS SATURDAY at a small business. Also at the link above you can search for small businesses in your area. 

Hmmm, $25 is the same as the price as a Zumba Gold session in January and February. Wish I could have you buy the pass for free from me, but I'm not set up to take American Express. But maybe with the money you save...

Zumba Gold is designed for seniors. It would be a great gift for someone you may know that would love Zumba but needs a more gentle way to exercise. Click here for more information about my Zumba Gold classes.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Gratitude is pivotal

You know, we all have those people we love to hate. They seem to have everything: money, looks, fame, a great job (or no need for one!), etc. But there are also people we know who have all, or most of those things, and they are different somehow. What is the difference? Gratitude!

If a person has all those things, but speaks of them ungraciously, we feel irritated because WE would be so glad to have them. The gift seems wasted on them. If a person is humble and grateful for their gifts, we see that person as more REAL and more HUMAN and we can relate to them. So we just LIKE them.

So what kind of person are YOU? Look closely at what you have. Be grateful and let others know it. They will be so happy to be able to relate to you.

All creatures enjoy the power and energy of dance. I enjoy this same thrill in our classes together.
