Peace is the calm that brings us closer together- in the storm, in the pains, when it pours, when it rains. And yet we manage to grow closer together when we let peace be the Mediator. How wonderful it is to have that kind of peace that calms our souls so we can come together in love no matter the circumstances. Those sisters, those brothers you have: hold on tight and don't let them go for it is peace that keeps us together. It is peace that reveals the love we have for one another at all times. Let peace guide you. Let peace comfort you. Let peace mediate love for one another, resolving to bring us closer for it is the relationship that we desire. It is the relationship that we need. Peace my friends. Peace my friends. Peace my friends. #randomme #profsmiles #neweeeknewthings #sistersbringpeace #peaceislove #peaceguidestheheart #randomshinanigans #allsmiles #fitmomfitlife #myJ2F #40yeartour2017 #shalomfamily #letyourpeacelead

WONDERFUL WEDNESDAY WISDOM: Learn to Dance In The Rain. When it rain it pours. We can say that a lot in our daily walk in this life right? What matters is what you do when it rains. Rain brings sadness and can cause a lot of heartache. Yet how do we manage to walk through it? We DANCE!! Meaning: life is too short to let the rain bring us down. We have so much more to live for and our lives breathe meaning for the good! The good news is we can dance in the rain. We just gotta learn the right tools to move our happy feet in those puddles. You can't stop the rain. Yet you can make the conscious choice to move to the beat of the rain drops. As you slide, cha cha, shuffle, and side step: let the rain smile on your face. Because life is much better when you dance in the rain! #wonderfulwisdomwednesday #allsmiles #profsmiles #learn2danceintherain☔ #Fitspiration #fkdrama #thiswisdom4grownfolks #myj2f2017 #consciouschoiceliving

Teaching Tip Tuesday: Take your time. We gotta get things done and we like have deadlines for everything! And then when it's not done when we hope/want/desire/expect to get done: then we get so frustrated with ourselves- down hard on ourselves...and then we take on the speed life of just adding more to our plate: feeling the need to go even faster! SLOW DOWN! It's not worth it to keep the fast pace running self ragged and burnt out. Look at your schedule. Where do you need to slow down! What will help you slow down? Cutting out something? Taking breathing breaks? Meditation? Think about it and realize that your health is more important than a fast pace of life. Don't rush LIFE! Take your time 🤗🌿 #teachingtiptuesday #aprilsmiles #allsmiles #takeyourtime #slowdownlife #myj2f2017 #readyformoredowntime #inspiredliving

Wonderful Wisdom Wednesday: Wild And Free- Best Way To Be... Our new @zumbawear line is out and the WILD theme is right on time! I love these leggings because they are so loud; and they scream FREEDOM!!! There is nothing wrong with being wild and free when it comes to life. Freedom is bold and wild with all possibilities. When you let your inner self just go and be raw- then you let then chains of self-doubt and criticism break! That is being wild and free- breaking free from anything that holds you back from just living! And there is nothing wrong with living. What is right is you allowing yourself the freedom to break any strongholds that keep you imprisoned. That is what is right, what is good, what is true. It's a mind set that only you can manage. This mind set will open up the prison gates that has your soul on lock. Get your mind in gear, break the cycle that has held you for too long: Be Wild....Be Free...it's the BEST way to be... #myzlife #thatzeslife #allsmiles #wonderfulwisdomwednesday #profsmiles #zumba #zumba #myzstyle #onelovezumba #40yeartour2017 #myj2f2017

Motivate Me Monday: Make the moment count!!! First welcome to our newest Instructors to the Z Family! They rocked VA Beach and I have to give it to them: the energy was 💯!! Every day we are given new moments and we never know what they will look like, what we will experience. We just know they will come and that we WILL experience it when it comes! So knowing that these moments will come: may as well make it count right? I never thought I'd experience the moments that have come rushing into my life- yet I welcome them because they are destined for me. And what is for me is to be. I love this group from yesterday- they gave me the inspiration to write the inspiration for this am. They are a true example of making the moment count. Even though we were hot, exhausted and giving over 💯, we still manage to make the moments we shared count! Take those moments. Embrace those moments. Welcome those moments. And make them COUNT!!! Happy Motivate Me Monday!! #motivatememonday #withsmiles #profsmiles #allsmiles #zumba #thatzeslife #zumbanewbies #makethemomentscount #itson💯#anewlevel

THRIVE THURSDAY: Let your love inside show on the outside!!! This woman right here has my heart! I have her back and she means the world to me. This is ZES Mylgia @mylgia and she is my sis even though we are far apart she still has my heart. And I let her know how much she means to me. And I will continue to let her know. Her love, her kindness, her genuine care is admired and adored because she has a genuine passion for love- hence why we get a long so well. Love is in us all family. And it is something we should not be afraid to let out! I realize that I forget to share how much I love those around me. It's important to show it, say it, not just assume they know because well, "they just know!" You know how we do: "Oh he knows how I feel" "My girl knows I got her back." Ummm we gotta do more than just say, "They know I don't have to show." Ummmm- yes you do!! Don't just assume they know how you feel! Please- let how you feel inside show on the outside. It's okay to let it out and show it family! We gotta do better. And starting tonight I'm going going do it with some of my sisters who I really love. And I just started with @mylgia Mylgia- my sis, my friend l, my SMILES partner: I love you very much and I'm so glad that our paths have crossed! Love you sis! Yes it feels good to let it out! Because we cannot just hold it in- it does no justice - let your love inside show on the outside so others can truly see how much your love is!!!! You ready? Let's get it!!! #thrivethursday #withaprilsmiles #allsmiles #profsmiles #thatzeslife #changedmezumba #passion4love #40yeartour2017 #myJ2F2017 #lovethoughtsbysmiles #letitshow #loveinsideoutside #lovemypeople #4truthistand

MOTIVATE ME MONDAY: Confidence is Positive... What do you believe about confidence? There is a certain confidence that brings about positive vibes when we use it and practice it in a way that motivates self and others. And often we as people turn this concept of confidence into something that gives a negative label. Why? We often have our own self-doubts, which in turn creates friction amongst each other because sometimes we just don't want to really see others happy- and that results from our own unhappiness with self. That being said- you gotta build your own confidence because confidence gives you assurance that yourself is good enough. The way you build confidence is through faith. Do you have enough faith in yourself to walk with your head held high-confident in the person you are? Confidence requires faith and with faith you become confident in yourself- growing...evolving... learning the person you were created to be! Isn't that awesome? And that should be celebrated, not looked down upon. Don't worry about what others say when it comes to confidence. Know that confidence is always positive if used with faith and the assurance that you are special- you are unique. Embrace who you are. Be confident knowing that the positive rewards from your confidence far exceeds the expectations of others. Grow in confidence. Love in confidence. Walk in confidence. Smile in confidence. Your life will give you a more positive journey when you do!!!!!

Re-Cap From Tonight's Sunday Live with Smiles on topic: Self-Love-Why Its So Important Hey all! Here is a summary of what I shared on the live: *You gotta love yourSELF FIRST so you can rightfully love others! * No one will love you the way YOU need to be loving you. So time to get to lovin' on YOU! * SELF-LOVE is the BEST LOVE. * Love brings fear, love brings worry, love brings pain, love brings anxiety. Yet love is always the answer; because love gives all these wonderful learning experiences! So embrace those feelings and emotions that love brings. And let love BE! * Love makes the world a BETTER PLACE for all of us! * Love keeps you going. Whether you are in pain from love, or whether you are in joy from love- or a combination of BOTH: it always keeps you going!! And I don't know about you: but I wanna keep going, keep living, keep loving, and NEVER STOP!!! Summary from tonight's live talk! Hope you enjoyed it. Have a lovely week!
