She's cool, talented and funny.
What else could anyone want from a friend?!
Is a joy to have met you and that our paths have crossed.
July 17, 2004
Talk about determination and inspiration!

I started with Isa in beginner tribal style bellydance almost 4 years ago....and now she's all over the place!

I totally admire her spirit to move forward, upward and onward.

You rarely find someone with DRIVE to push something from an idea to an actuality...with is what she has done and excels in.

In the terms of old skool pop culture,
"YOU GO, GIRL!"

INSPIRATION

"WE DANCE FOR LAUGHTER, WE DANCE FOR TEARS. WE DANCE FOR MADNESS, WE DANCE FOR FEARS.WE DANCE FOR HOPES, WE DANCE 4 FOR SCREAMS.WE ARE THE DANCERS, WE CREATE THE DREAMS!""
~ ~ ~ ~ ~

The Invitation
by Oriah Mountain Dreamer (A Native American Elder)

It doesn't interest me what you do for a living.
I want to know what you ache for,
and if you dare dream of meeting your heart's longing.

It doesn't interest me how old you are.
I want to know if you will risk looking the fool for love,
for your dreams, for the adventure of being alive.

It doesn't interest me what planets are squaring your moon.
I want to know if you have touched the center of your sorrow,
if you have been opened up by life's betrayals or
have become shrivelled and closed from fear of further pain.

I want to know if you can sit with pain, mine or your own,
if you can dance with wildness and let ecstacy fill you
to the tips of your fingers and toes without cautioning us to be careful, be realistic, or to remember the
limitations of being human.

It doesn't interest me if the story you are telling me is true.
I want to know if you can betray another to be true to yourself;
if you can bear the accusation of betrayal
and not betray your own soul.

I want to know if you can be faithful
and therefore be trustworthy.

I want to know if you can see beauty
even when it's not a pretty day,
and if you can source your life from God's presence.

I want to know if you can live with failure, yours and mine,
and stand on the edge of a lake
and shout to the silver light of a full moon, "Yes!"

It doesn't interest me to know where you live
or how much money you have.
I want to know if you can get up after a night of grief and despair,
weary and bruised to the bone, and do what needs to be done
for the children.

It doesn't matter who you are, or how you came to be here.
I want to know if you will stand in the center of the fire with me and not shrink back.

It doesn't interest me where or what or with whom you have studied.
I want to know what sustains you from the inside
when all else falls away.

I want to know if you can be alone with yourself,
and if you truly like the company you keep in the empty moments.

THE MAD ONES
by :JACK KEROUAC

THE ONLY PEOPLE FOR ME ARE THE MAD ONES.
THE ONES WHO ARE MAD TO LIVE, MAD TO TALK, MAD TO BE SAVED, DESIROUS OF EVERYTHING AT THE SAME TIME.
THE ONES WHO NEVER YAWN, OR SAY A COMMONPLACE THING
BUT BURN, BURN, BURN,
LIKE FABULOUS YELLOW ROMAN CANDLES
EXPLODING LIKE SPIDERS ACROSS THE STARS~
~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Life isnt about FINDING your Self...its about CREATING your Self !
~ ~ ~ ~ ~

BLESSED WITH A KISS

The Goddess of Infinite Love
Blessed me with a kiss,
Igniting a Fire that will never die.
A Fire refining my body into a proper vessel for Her love
A Fire melting my soul into an ember of Her passion
A Fire burning away karma, fear, guilt
A Ray of pure light
Shining eternally from Her heart.
Eternal Lover
Do not forsake me
Even when I doubt
Draw me closer to Your fire
Until nothing remains of me
but You.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~

THE ECSTACY OF FIRE

In ecstasy, there is often a sense of heat -- filled with immense love -- that permeates the body. This warmth seems to emerge from the seat, flares in the belly, and rises upward, fanning out at the heart. As this fire moves through the body, it also moves through the awareness, consuming all thoughts (or, more accurately, the tremors from which thoughts emerge). This fire burns away even the thought of "I" -- only the sense of this living flame remains.
This is such a wonderful fire that mystics often describe it as a flame of love, so enchanting that, like the moth, you want to dart in and be utterly consumed.
