TO ALL THOSE MOTHERS WHO LOVE SALSA
Being a mom is a full time job, and even though you are your own boss, you're always doing what
pleases your little ones.
But what about being a mom and a Salera at the same time, sometimes it seems like you have to
be one or the other and that's that. And what about being the mother of a Salsero, well the
reason for this article is to give gratitute to all mothers in general, whether you have a
baby, a kid, teenager, or a grown up that enjoys Salsa, or you yourself don't have any kids,
but of course have a mother. Moms we really appreciate everything you do for us.
And even though dancing and having a kid takes up a lot of time, nothing compares to being a
mother, it's that feeling you get when you realize that right there in front of you is a little
someone who thinks of you as their only way through life, somebody whose future depends upon your
actions, they learn from us you know, or maybe when you watch your babies dancing and realize
they're not babies anymore, they have the ability to decide for themselves. Isn't the circle
of life just amazing?
But ask yourself these questions...
- Is this the end of your dreams?
- Can your life as a Salera be over?
- Will there ever be time for you to learn Salsa?
Come on mommies... let's face it, it's not about us anymore, "WE" brought our little ones to
this world, and we are responsible for our actions.
But don't worry, having a kid does not mean that it is the end of your world, it's only the
beginning, you just have to be patient with yourself, nothing happens overnight,
everything takes time and don't forget "patience is a virtue"
Eventually, you will find time to go out, even if it's just once a month, or every
other month, hey! something is better than nothing right? Here is some good advice
for those moms and moms to be.
- When you're at home alone, play some Salsa and practice what you know, or watch
Salsa videos, "monkey see monkey do"(but don't force them to like it, they get bored
easy, don't neglect their needs either, take it slow)
- When you're driving with your kid in the car, play a good Salsa song, and sing it
to them or with them.
- On your kid's birthday parties, invite your Salsa friends, play Salsa and let your kid
pick up on some moves or just let them hear the music.
- Everytime you go out, always leave them with somebody you trust, that way you're not
worrying about their well being, instead you are enjoying your Salsa crave.
- The main thing is not to forget that everything takes time and of course effort, don't feel
down thinking negative, always be positive and patient, "good things come to those who wait"
But if you come to realize that your kid just can not stand Salsa, not to worry, it doesn't mean
you have to ban Salsa from your life, just don't exagerate too much in front of them, they will
eventually get used to it. But if you find that your kid was a natural born Salsero to the bone,
then what better gift than to introduce them to your world, raise them to live healthy and have
fun while at it, let them be addicted to Salsa and not drugs. Let them get involved with Salseros
and not gangs, teach them humbleness and not bulliness, encourage them to be friends with anybody
and everybody, not just Salseros, and the good thing is that Salsa is easy to get addicted to... and
it's a healthy addiction.
Imagine how good they will get as they grow, if you introduce Salsa to them when they're just
kids, and it's amazing how natural it becomes to them... Once again I have to repeat,
when you have kids is not about you anymore... BUT... it is up to you to show them the good ways
before the see the bad ones.
They say that having a kid changes your whole life, and they're right, the key is accepting the
change as a positive one, and you have to learn how to improvise and prioritize your goals, and
while you devote your life to your babies don't neglect your needs either, if you don't love
yourself how are you going to love others, and even if you're not a mom, maybe you're a Salsero
or Salsera trying to make it in the industry, never forget who carried you inside of them for nine
whole months, only moms understand those heavy days, it can be beautiful but at the same time it
can be very depressing.
There is no love like a mother's love, and it's true, I myself love my mom and I love my son to
death, if it wasn't for them I would've never gotten inspired to write this article. And to all
those with no kids, hey you will plant your seed eventually, and remember this article
when you have your own little roots, Salsa is great, is healthy, and very fun, pass it on.
