We're way over due for a dance video around here, wouldn't you say? Well, I have something extra special for you today! Three amazing blogger friends of mine agreed to dance with me!
Allow me to introduce you to these awesome ladies: Katie of Health for the Whole Self, Karen of Before & After: A Real-Life Story, and Mara of Medicinal Marzipan. Do yourself a favor and go check out their blogs, okay? They are all incredibly smart and totally authentic women who share beautifully written messages about self-care, self-acceptance, and whole-person wellness.
Oh, and I want to give a shout out to the fabulous Ashley of Nourishing the Soul (another fantastic blog). She selected the song we're dancing to: "Dynamite" by Taio Cruz. Great pick, Ashley! 
Okay... I double dare you to sit still during this one!

It is Nov. 22, and I have just found time to watch this. That proves that my life is much too hectic!! What beautiful ladies! It makes me want to be in a dance video and I can’t dance! Well, maybe a little! Joy, you have got editing and putting together these videos down. It takes a lot of work and creativity. You rock, sweetie, and your friends rock!
So glad you got around to watching, Mom. Thanks for your sweet comments. I happen to think YOU rock.
Hi Joy! It’s Dee and am just seeing this post! I’m way behind on blogs so sorry if you get multiple comments from me today and tomorrow!
This is THE cutest video ever. You go ahead girl!

Okay… now I have to watch it again! It really is so much fun, if I do say so myself!
I’m breaking my blogging vacation [don’t tell] because I had to tell you how much fun my daughter and I had watching this video. I found you through Mara and Karen. My daughter is eight, and it’s important to me to get as much positive body image media as possible.
She recognized how much fun you’re having, and your gorgeous smile. And we both admire your moves! We might have to start practicing together. Thanks for sharing Joy.
