Who Are the Pirates?

The thing that make are PirateHearts awesome PIRATES is their ability to plunge through the hard times and keep on going forward, making the best of situations and sometimes bad decisions, moving forward to the next adventure without excuses or blame.   And on top of all the madness and seriousness of all our 40 plus years - we still can rock a pirate costume and leave all the negativity behind us and have super fun on the dance floor!!!

Pirate Chicks understand the importance of regularly scheduled tie ups.  (tie-up is when you put your boats together ours done mostly on Lake Grapevine)  or social hours / dinners.  We frequently do these to make sure we are good / heading in the right direction and of course DANCE!!    Sometimes just letting go dancing or talking to friends makes us feel better and the energy we use creates more wind power to keep on going, without over analyzing and especially judging.  The positive energy created by these tie-ups keeps our ships in ship shape and encouraging positive winds blowing.  And when a pirate falls behind it usually means they found a boyfriend, job or something pulling them off course - but we keep inviting them no matter what.   But ships are suppose to take off to new destinations or discoveries hopefully encouraging more pirate groups or whatever!!   Enabling women and men to do their own thing and live positivly with and through relationships!

In PirateHearts there are so many great ladies and super awesome Buoys (guys) too.    

Let's start with Tracy Moore - From the beginning in 2007 she was like, "Tammy, I will come to dance and so forth but I am not wearing a costume."  She is/was probably the silent sideline pirate, until a dance band is playing and she is front and center!!   I say sideline, cause she could care less about the costume (which Julie, Debbie and I love) and when we wear matching colors, her idea of matching was wearing a necklace with the color stone on it. I am like, "Tracy, it is blue theme night." And she pulls out a necklace!!    ha ha -  Seriously this is what makes Tracy truly so awesome.   

Tracy is not a follower and she does what she wants.   Which is exactly what a pirate should be - an individual - doing her own thing - and having fun.    Tracy does not care that she doesn't match the rest of us and she is confident and that doesn't keep her back.    She is not intimidated by crazy overly busted costumes and truly enjoys herself!!  :)

Also - Tracy recently retired her Honda that had over 200,000 miles, over 10 years old, and still smelled and looked like a new car.   She will be turning 50 in 2012 and she looks way younger then me and she is not.    I guess she takes care of her skin like she does her cars.   Which is just Tracy and has nothing with being a pirate except that she really takes care of her ship!!   :)     Everyone loves Tracy!!

So costume or not - get out and do some pirating!!  Stop caring so much about what "others" think!!   Arrrrrrrrrrrhhhhhhhh  :)
