Pearl Loves to Move It Move It
This past weekend we went to the annual Lights in the Heights celebration in our neighborhood. They close off three streets so that only pedestrians, red wagons, roller bladers, and baby strollers have the right of way. The neighborhood is festooned with the light of candles and electric facsimiles all along the route. Singers, string quartets, bell choirs, and balalaika societies play from the front porches of the houses. Houstonians bake 10,000 cookies that are distributed freely. Lights in the Heights has an old-fashioned spin on fun that I always enjoy.
This year the NIA Moves group had a dance space and welcomed participants to join them. Pearl knows the co-founder Christie from playgroup and yoga, and she had a wonderful time dancing. At first she ran back and forth in front of the group, but eventually she started to pick a a few of those moves. Her happiness was luminous.
What a brilliant photo!

This sounds like such an awesome community experience! And I love Pearl's enthusiasm and willingness to put herself out there. I wish more adults (including me) could feel comfortable throwing ourselves heart and soul into things. Looks like you all had a wonderful time!
