Mamma Mia...Dancing Queens!

This may age me but I love Mamma Mia..the movie. I did not "love" Abba in my early years but the story and music of Mamma Mia was impressive. It's a feel good movie. I have seen it three times. Everyone is having fun and letting go when they dance around and sing those great songs. (Not my personality exactly.)

My favorite scene is the song "Dancing Queen". Now I have never "loved" this one either but what I did like was that when they heard the song and saw the action, women from the entire village joined the party. Young and old were on that pier dancing their hearts out and enjoying life.

Okay, this is what blogging is like for me. My blogging mentors Octamom and Verbal One have been doing this a while and they are good at it. I have enjoyed creating my site and deciding what posts I would write. It started only a few weeks ago as a way to express myself, never really thinking that many would read it. Then, I began to read the blogs of women who read Octamom which lead me to many many other blogs, mostly of women with multiples or mom's who home school their children. I love reading their amazing posts! At first, I began to feel awkward. I am a bit older, my children are now early 20s and I work in a fulltime position serving children with hearing loss. I thought maybe I was intruding on a world of comraderie and familiarity.

Of course, Octamom encouraged me...so I kept posting and kept reading. And...I began commenting. Some of these women even read my posts. Then I got a nice comment from a mom who had the same career path. I realized that we all have something to learn from each other and although I am not carrying a child on each hip or organizing school schedules, I can contibute to this blogging world and hopefully add some encouragment.

Stay with me here...there is a point!

Now, I am putting this all together. Mamma Mia means "Mother Mine" and we are all women of worth. In our own little corners we may have days we feel we have little of it, but the support and affirmation the women who blog receive is truly a gift. We are out there dancing on the pier together and enjoying our lives. Kudos to the "Dancing Queens" that I have read about, those that I have the pleasure of working with, and those that I serve in my job. You are all amazing women and it is a pleasure to blog and work with you!

See my "Blogs I read" in the right column to see how awesome some of these "Dancing Queens" are. I know there are many more. Maybe you could suggest some of your favorite "Dancing Queens" in your comments. I will certainly visit!
