In true Sagittarian form, I speak freely and honestly with little regard for other people’s feelings. Due to this tendency, I also stick my foot in my mouth often. I love to break stereotypes and most of the time I do. For the most part I don’t care what a person’s pre-concieved notions about (gasp!) strippers are….except for when it comes to my mom.
She is one of the few people in the world whose opinions I care about. I’m at my mom’s house for the next few days. I don’t get to visit as often as I should, and we had a nice relaxing day talking about everything except for what I’ve done for a living for the last eight and a half years. With my increased exposure on the Internet, with DancerWealth, and in the Christian circle with Starlight Ministries, it’s time to clue her in. If in the next few years she happens to come across an article about Starlight, the last thing she needs is to find out from someone else.
All day I’ve been looking for a good opportunity to bring it up. Needless to say, “So mom, I’ve been a stripper for 8 years…lets go get ice cream!” didn’t have a nice ring to it. So we just went out for ice cream.
Maybe tomorrow.
