Aqua Zumba
Yes, I now have a proud little blue A on my zumba.com profile as a brand new Aqua Zumba Instructor.
It’s a bit like passing your driving test - you can drive but still have to get some experience (and insurance and a car...)
I absolutely fell in love with Aqua Zumba during my training and I think it’s one of the most exciting specialties, not only because I love the water and places where you can swim (the pool, the beach, the spa) but because there are so many added benefits to being in the water. Plus, the water can support people, so anyone worried about joint problems or falling can relax and have even more fun!
I’m now looking for a pool to start classes, but I would like to be able to do these as drop-in as, so far, in this area I have only seen classes in gyms where you have to pay a monthly membership. If anyone knows of any pools you think might be suitable, (ideally a gorgeous free private pool) please do tell me!
Lost Keys
One of the ladies in my Tuesday night 7:15pm class lost her car keys. If you came to this class please could you check your bag or jumper to see they didn’t get snagged up.
I finally found my lost sunglasses - after they had been through the wash in my jacket pocket! Oops! Luckily they are still okay and I have bought a spare pair - so hopefully these car keys will turn up somewhere too.
I’m on 07770 846 284 if you want to text me if you do find them!
Take a bad day and make it better
Some of you know that I had another near miss with a bus this Tuesday (I know, another one!) and after 4 years of cycling almost every day it was the closest I’ve had. I was shaking and crying and the police were super nice to me, but as I pulled myself back together I honestly didn’t feel angry at the bus driver as I often do when someone drives dangerously, because I knew there was no way the driver would have behaved that way if he/she could have seen the mess I was in afterwards.
I believe we all really want to help make each other feel better, not worse and when we stop, take a breath and think for a second we honestly don’t want to upset or injure anyone else.
But... when we’re in a rush, or stressed, frustrated at the supermarket line, or trying to deal with a customer call centre, or just get some help (whether it’s at the police station, school or in the bank) it’s too easy to treat the people around us as annoyances, obstacles or part of a system instead of human beings with the same feelings as us.
Some of us are great at dealing with waiters or checkout staff, but maybe get a bit bossy in emails, some of us may smile all day, but rev up our cars to beat the red light... and I think we can all forget that every single interaction we have with another human being, whether they are online, in person or on the phone is an opportunity to make that person’s day either a little bit better or a little bit worse. Just a smile and a genuine “Thank You” to someone serving you can make their day. Letting someone out at the traffic lights, or giving someone else the seat on the Tube, these are all free gifts that we can share with others and make the world a nicer, happier, friendlier and human place.
Congratulations!

Much love, Pearl
