Fun Friday Tune: Dale Dale

I invite you to enjoy this sweet start to get you ready for the weekend ahead.
Enjoy boogying to this Fun Friday Tune, “Dale Dale,” along with choreographer, singer, songwriter, dancer Francesca Maria.
(By the way, “dale” means “go ahead,” “give it” or “do it,” according to this Wild104fm site. If you’re a girl and someone shouts “Dale” at you, it means they think you’re cute.)
You may be wondering about the sugar connection here.
Essentially, when you bring sweetness into your life — in this case, it’s energetically doing Zumba to an upbeat — you’ll get a life that’s sweeter without junky sweets.

Savor the Sweetness of Watching Sunsets

Join the conversation. When was the last time you watched a sunset? Leave your comment now.
Lately, I’ve become completely hooked on watching sunsets fading over the ocean.
Never before have I been so enchanted and entranced by this remarkable daily natural phenomenon.
Sunsets are so soothing, beautiful and breathtaking.
And sunsets are truly sweet. Far sweeter and better for your health than sugar-laden candies, cookies or cakes.
So enjoy two of my many recent photos, taken on my iPhone. (Gotta get a better camera.)
