What a reunion—dancing with @portiafavro again after a decade. And circling back to the girl group that made it all happen… that heels style dance was first name after… @pussycatdolls!

When I first started dancing decades ago, all I’d do was look for perfection in every move, chastised myself for not nailing the choreo, could barely look at myself in the mirror.

This time around, I’m still not great at picking up choreo and my moves can look stiff sometimes. So what’s changed? Age, and experiencing a lot of ups and downs, and finally appreciating the opportunity I have to even get to class.

Before I couldn’t even understand it when instructors said “the most important thing is to have fun!” in their upbeat way. I finally get it now. And that translates to a very different experience within myself, and what you see in these reels 💕

Fingers crossed for more OG PCD at @pinupposse 🙃🤞🏼

So glad to have captured this moment dancing with @fulltimevixen 🥲

It’s rare I feel so alive and embodied. Dance brings out the best in me.

Lots of navel-gazing. More like a note to self than a real How-To guide. (SEO just likes this title more so 🤷🏻‍♀️)

Just an old millennial learning stuff—like gratitude—as she ages 😄

I can’t believe you’re 5 already 😭😭😭

You’re so much smarter and sassier (and so much like me 🙈) than I could’ve ever imagined.

💃🏻 dancing, singing, joking *so* freely

Please don’t try to grow up too soon. Enjoy being 5!

Love you always & forever ❤️🥹

Why make turkey for Thanksgiving when you can make ‘ethnical’ and ‘exotic’ drink? 🧋

So unhealthy, so unmindful 😂

Never sure how to feel about Thanksgiving but I do know how I feel about baked goods 😋

Thanks to @lil_eveys who kept sharing pumpkin spice recipes w me til I felt all the guilt for spending $5 on one slice when I could make it myself

Don’t get me wrong, I will still drop $$$ at bakeries!!!

This menu is unreal. Even avocado toast is elevated with a deep fried avocado fritter!

Whatever you do, order the $13 boozy coffee slushy 😏☕️

Here’s what we ordered:
$24 Shakshuka
$26 Croque Madame
$20 fancy Avocado Toast 🥑
$26 Smoked Salmon Rösti
$13 Éclair
$10 Blueberry Scones🫐 (w the freshest jam!)

✅ Would definitely go again

Hi! I like to talk about sad things on social media.

Although this story starts off sad, and angry, it doesn’t end that way.

Please read should you feel so inclined.

Your friend,
Miranda
