On The Good Foot: Stepping Into New Possibilities
The new year brings fresh energy, bold dreams, and endless possibilities. Like James Brown's iconic anthem suggests, when you're "on the good foot," everything just flows different. Your stride has more swagger, your smile comes easier, and opportunities seem to dance right into your path.
But what happens when that new year optimism meets real-world relationships? Some of us are eager to dance into new possibilities, while others are still nursing wounds from last year's missteps. Is starting fresh always the answer, or are we sometimes too quick to abandon the dance partners we have?
This month, The Tequila Tales explores the complex rhythm between hope and hesitation, between fresh starts and familiar patterns. What does it really mean to be "on the good foot" in love and relationships? Are we truly ready for new moves, or are we just performing the same routine in new shoes?
This month, Tequila Tales invites you to explore the delicate balance between honoring the past and embracing the present in our love lives. Let’s unpack why we sometimes long to return to familiar territories, whether in our relationships, traditions, or ways of connecting.

As winter's grip loosens, a feverish energy takes over. The earth's reawakening stirs our primal yearnings - to connect, explore, and fully embody the passions this sensual season awakens.
For some, spring kindles cravings for new romantic possibilities. The chance to shed stillness and immerse in the thrill of flirtation and untapped potential. For others, it's an invitation to rekindle the spark within committed bonds. To breathe new life into stagnant intimacies and passions.
How do you balance the enticing excitement of fresh connections and protecting yourself from potential heartache?
How do you disrupt routine to revive that "spark" over time?
How do you create a safe space to openly embrace your sensuality authentically?

An epic love story one hundred years in the making…
Leap years are a strange, enchanted time. And for some, even a single February can be life-changing.
Ricki Wilde has many talents, but being a Wilde isn’t one of them. As the impulsive, artistic daughter of a powerful Atlanta dynasty, she’s the opposite of her famous socialite sisters. Where they’re long-stemmed roses, she’s a dandelion: an adorable bloom that’s actually a weed, born to float wherever the wind blows. In her bones, Ricki knows that somewhere, a different, more exciting life awaits her.
When regal nonagenarian Ms. Della invites her to rent the bottom floor of her Harlem brownstone, Ricki jumps at the chance for a fresh beginning. She leaves behind her family, wealth, and chaotic romantic decisions to realize her dream of opening a flower shop. And just beneath the surface of her new neighborhood, the music, stories and dazzling drama of the Harlem Renaissance still simmers.
One evening in February as the heady, curiously off-season scent of night-blooming jasmine fills the air, Ricki encounters a handsome, deeply mysterious stranger who knocks her world off balance in the most unexpected way.
Set against the backdrop of modern Harlem and Renaissance glamour, A Love Song for Ricki Wilde is a swoon-worthy love story of two passionate artists drawn to the magic, romance, and opportunity of New York, and whose lives are uniquely and irreversibly linked.
