A semi-toothless lady in a winter hat, sweating through a 24-step belly dance routine with zero AC. Dawn's honest, funny account of showing up somewhere she knew she'd mess up, and choosing to shine anyway.

In Daily Dose 13, Dawn takes a belly dancing class as an empty-nester looking to get out of the house, and immediately realizes her narcolepsy-affected memory isn't going to keep up with 24 steps. Instead of shrinking, she puts herself at the back of the line, does her best, laughs at her mistakes, and catches her own reflection mid-giggle, completely at ease with being exactly who she is. A reminder that being comfortable in your own skin isn't about getting it right, it's about not caring if you don't.
