So we just talked about dancing. I waited to celebrate the 100,000 views I broke Valentine’s week with the 10,000 follows that were on their way. It’s not a medal or the Ph.D. from my alternative life but here I am. I’ll take it.
The show is 45 seconds. You know Gloria Gaynor’s I Will Survive? Mr. Wayfarer played it and I went with it. Here’s what I’m acting out:
Turn around now. You’re not welcome anymore.
You’re the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye.
Do you think I’d crumble, did you think I’d lay down and die?
No, not I, I will survive. Long as I know how to love I know I’ll stay alive.
I’ve got all my life to live and all my love to give. I’ll survive. I, I, I will survive.
It took all my strength not to fall apart, trying without my mind
to mend my broken heart. I spent so many nights feeling sorry for myself,
how I cried. But now I hold my head up high. And you see me, somebody new.
I’m not that lonely little person who’s still in love with you.
Now you come dropping in, expecting me to be free.
Now I’m saving all my lovin’ for someone who’s loving me.
Go on now, walk out the door. Turn around now, you’re not welcome anymore.
You’re the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye.
Think I’d might crumble, did you think I’d lay down and die?
No, not I, I will survive. Long as I know how to love I know I’ll stay alive.
But we hit a wall with the copyright and had to use a different song – not the one our son was drumming to.
Please rsvp and join the party.
Thank you doesn’t quite seem to cut it. But let me try. Deep appreciation to my most loyal likers and commenters and the quiet readers who haven’t missed a post. Thanks to those who’ve been with me from the start as well as those who find themselves coming back. Thank you to my newest readers and lastly, gratitude always to my husband and son who’ve let me be who I more fully am on the holistic journey.
A Holistic Journey 
Haha, love it! I’m a huge fan of happy dances. I’m waiting until 1,000 followers for my next one. Congrats on reaching such a milestone…awesome stuff!
A huge fan of dances…I can tell. LoOk at you, B. In the genes, I think. 1000 is a big milestone. In some ways it gets easier from there – not that blogging is such a HARD slog. Too fun for that. Thanks and…hey, show me that twist again.
Diana
Save it! Great moves and drumming. Do more.
We’re still going strong. Look at Jane over there. And Tommy…wow, who said break-dancing is old? =) Thanks. And here, let me take your jacket. Drinks to the left.
LOVE. Congratulations. So happy to feel your energy and see you, Diana. Love your ebullience…
Ha ha ha. THANKS for the constant support, the faithful feedback, and…now THAT’s what I call HIPS in motion. You go, girl.
Wonderful! I also had forgotten how inspiring Gaynor’s lyrics were.
LOL Inspiring? Ha ha ha.
Lovely and well done. Also, well-deserved. x
Ha ha. Thanks, C. You’ve been awesome.

LOL. Hey, You meant blogger, right? I’m not picking. My brain did a funny twist and made me feel stupid that I’m so behind the times as to not know what the hec they’re referring to by Vlogger now. Thanks. *dance*
Oh I put vlog on purpose lol!!!
Oh GReeeAT! What the hec is that? Here I come, Google.
Lmao 🙂 Don’t worry you’ll be tag based.
*completely lost*
That was only my first VLOG but I’m a real blogger now, thanks to JC and Google. (You can be a total fake nowadays and gather 10,000 people around you.)
LoL
Hahaha! You’re so funny, I don’t know how I missed the video on this post first time I viewed it. I am of course, a massive fan of dancing on as many occasions as possible and in the spirit you have shown here. Congratulations on the milestone.
We’ll have to do a duet next time!!
Xxx

Diana
Congratulations, Diana! When I hit 10,000, I will also post a dancing video – which will probably last about 2 seconds before I throw my back out or something.
Ha ha ha ha ha. Start training. Strengthen that back.
Thank you for your faith in me.
Congrats for the happy happy – and – fabulous jiving Madam HW 😀
I think you came over at an ungodly hour. Leaving the party eyes bloodshot is one thing but walking in like that’s another. Off you go and hope you got some good rest. I woulda loved your magic touch w/ the decorations but we can’t have everything, can we? Many thanks. =)
YW 🙂
Hope you are not too hung over dear…lol
Just a bit.
ha ha – that is a good sign if you look at it positively – means you had a good time 😉
Oh, I’m still having a blast. *grin*
*hiccup*
Ima still have a blast to babe – got a kids 13th birthday to celebrate (wine included)- so busy night – TA TA – enjoy! 😉
Watch your intake!! =)
😉 Always…
Congratulations Diana! Thanks for the invite, and may I add, that was one heck of a happy dance! Good on you, I don’t know that I could strut my stuff like you! xo
I seriously can imagine you strutting, Deb. Ha ha ha. Thanks for having carried me along to this point.
Xx
D.
I thought I was watching Yoko Ono dancing! 🙂
LOL!! That was SO cute!! This actually made me rethink that I’d be too old to pull this off later. It’s given me real ideas for another vid. LOL!! Thanks for watching. =)
HW
We are never too old to dance!
Except you are not a “Bad Dancer”. Neither is Yoko. Love the moves!
I thanked you under the vid of Yoko I just posted. =)
Congrats! So awesome!
Thank you. =) And I appreciate the follow.
Diana
Fabulous way to celebrate! Congrats and jam on girl! 🙂
*panting* Still going….still goin’….
*pulling you in*
I will survive! 😉
LOL!!!!!!
BRILLiant.
Cheers to happy feet! I think if we could all shuffle our feet instead of getting angry…what a better place we would be in.
I still get mad about stuff. Had better keep dancing. Thanks for being here!

Glad you liked. =) Thx.
It’s too bad we don’t live in the same area.
I would have come to your party and dance with you.
Maybe teach you some of my moves or two.
I enjoyed your video! 🙂
You can put up a dance tutorial. =) Thx for watching.
Diana
hello holistic wayfarer its dennis the vizsla dog hay more dansing!!! to anser yore erlier kwestchun yes mama and dada can do the swing and the salsa altho dada preefers the west coast swing to the east coast swing and wil yoozhually try to samba dooring salsas if he can git away with it!!! ha ha ok bye
Ha ha ha. Mr. Wayfarer is good at west coast swg. I brought the east coast. He also teaches Samba drums and my Salsa hips keep insisting themselves into the Swing. =)
Wow! All that blogging and still stamina left over for dancing. Respect …
LOL!!! I can blog ’til the cows come home…and the sassy I Will Survive seems to have a magical effect on women. 😉
lol, nice moves!
Heh heh. Thanks. Been too much fun. 😉
Congrats, well done … and enjoyed the dance, but I have not audio, so hope the singing was good 🙂
Heh. Lip sync. As I wrote, we couldn’t use the original song for copyright issues so had to dub an unknown tune over it. Originally I was mouthing I Will Survive!! =) Thanks, DC.
You’re having fun, which is the main thing … and was nice to see some photos of you, put a face to name … all positive 🙂
” … and was nice to see some photos of you, put a face to name … ” Why do I get the feeling your readers will say the same? =) And oh indeed, been a blast through and through these two years (and at the party). Thank you for joining us. *Nod*
You’re welcome, enjoyed seeing what you’ve been up to … as for ‘going public’ … it’ll happen when it’s ready to 🙂
PS if I do the blog marriage can I divorce you ? *grins evily*
There was no pressure on the unmasking. Just couldn’t resist the quip given the nice comment on putting name to face coming from Mr. Incognito.
As to the blog vows, I did say “til you should unfollow and do us part.”
*lips quivering at the thought but standing up tall*
So…I’ll sign you on. 😉
🙂 … Charisma deserves complimenting on my friend … credit where it’s due … what one get’s from an outside perspective is that you’re a real person, which is endearing … and a person capable of having fun !
Ah so good I don’t have to wait till I die then … So where you taking me for honeymoon ? And don’t say Paris, been there and I didn’t like it … Brazil, South Africa or Anywhere in Asia that has sunshine – that’d probably “seal the deal” 🙂
On a serious note I don’t take follows personally, who follows who etc, blogged about it before – what’s important is connection … sometimes connections become friends …
I just followed you, so now you have 10001 followers … yay !
10,297 but who’s counting? =) As to the honeymoon, New Zealand? Since this was a blog wedding, we’ll have to go take the good news of blogging to unreached peoples. I hear the cattle and produce are naturally organic on pristine water and good land – if you don’t mind the organic fetish. =)
That. Was. Beautiful. Stunningly beautiful 🙂
Ha ~ your creativeness never ceases to amaze, and such wonderful family support as well…200K and 20K are right around the corner for you. It is so nice to get back on WP after a few weeks away and come back to this 🙂
Ha ha ha ha. I think I’d said I was willing to dance when you married again, R. *grin* And please…no need for such exceedingly generous projections. Those numbers are not right around the corner. And that’s quite all right! I’m just a bit tired. I’ve no delusions about my dancing ability but it was fun being silly for you all. Glad you enjoyed.
Diana
Ha, ha…yes, so I suppose it is my turn now ~ just name the place and time 🙂 It is the pure joy & fun (and moves) in the video that was so special ~ and perhaps that you had the heart to really pull it off well. Wonderful ~
I coaxed some bloggers to consider putting up their own moves. Think we can get a series going on WPress. *naughty glint in eye*
I look forward to see the series ~ this is good and why am I not surprised… 🙂
Half-joke. I did try and coax. ONE said she’ll do it. =)
Oh wow! So cheery and energetic, not to mention graceful! I don’t have one graceful bone in my body, ha! ha! So i’m always in awe of people who can dance! You are having so much fun and it’s infectious ;), so kind of wiggled my body too, lol. A big congratulations to you!
LOL…I caught the wiggle. *pulling you in* THERE you go…don’t be shy. Wider circles. Yeah!
Yeah! Getting bolder here! Just as well nobody can see me having a blast! 😉
They’re too busy having fun.
Yeah! LOL
Hi Wayfarer, Thank you for stopping by Dollhouses, memories and more and liking! Your site is great and the dancing is absolutely great fun!!!! Keep dancing and making us smile!!! One of my favorite sayings is, “dance like nobody is watching.” It frees the spirit!
Thanks for the encouragement over my site and the dancing, Kathleen. Yep, great quote. =)
Happy blogging,
Diana
I’m not seeing a comment box on your site. =)
Very authentic, you should be on your way to Hollywood soon. 🙂
Make all that money, hire private tutors for T, and WRITE! And then wake up from the sweet, sweet dream. =/
