One of the coolest things about Zumba is its core value of non-judgement. You cannot be a true Zumbian if you are catty. I made the effort to introduce myself and talk with a woman who'd been an irritation to me class after class. I was complaining to others, and being a self-righteous poopy pants. People who irritate you are simply a reflection of a weakness in yourself...they are what my spiritual teacher, Angeles Arrien, calls a "smoky mirror." (sorry Chris, you've heard this schpeel 1000 times).
So I think my new years resolution is forming in the way of walking up to my smoky mirrors with windex and a soft cloth...which is why I am going to the NVC/MFCC mat with my sister in January. And hopefully a Zumba class together.
