Today my twin sister and I sat in her room working on business stuff. It was fun, it was easy. The sun streamed in the windows and we both focused on what we worked on with a laugh and a giggle here and there. Competition is an easy game to get into and I've played it a lot with my twin sister. When I decided recently that we are not in...
Deepak Chopra & Oprah’s 21 Day Meditation Challenge
I laid on my bed this morning, tears streaming down the sides of my face, as Deepak Chopra led me through a meditation geared towards sending love and gratitude to my physical form. This one really touched me deeply. He said, "Imagine all your 50 trillion cells receiving nourishment right now and releasing what no longer serves them. Give...

Dancing into Spring
Dance into Spring Yesterday, I followed the energy I was feeling to drive up to Toronto for the final day of a Latin/African/Lusophone dance festival TBF. Feeling a bit stuffy and run down, I kept telling myself, "I am healthy" and became as spacious as I could around all the stories I wanted to tell myself about the things I "should" do or the...
Snowflakes falling
Today I stood outside in the late afternoon, white-yellow sunlight, which glowed behind soft clouds in a most beautiful, light snowfall. I looked up close at the flakes landing on my car and marveled at the intricacy of their shapes! I stood out there for moments wondering what my parents next door neighbors would think if they saw me out there...
What I Want
My sister and I walked along the table filled with baskets and wrapped gifts. "Wow," she said, astonished at all the give aways at our friends baby shower. We looked over some of the baskets. "I'd take that one or that one," as she pointed to a basket with body care products and another basket with movie items like popcorn boxes and DVD's. "I'd...
Giving Birth
Tonight my twin sister and I were invited to join a friend for opening night of the World Premier of Donna Hoke's Seeds, a play about two twin sisters, marriage, family, conceiving, relationships and choices involving all of these things. It was an intense play done very well with great acting and very real, intimate, and intensely dynamic...
I Found It
I found my love of teaching again tonight. I thought I had lost it, somewhere between this and that, him and her, time and dollar bills. I thought maybe it was time to hang up my shoes as a "dance instructor", that I was more of a facilitator and more interested in coaching and personal process than "just" teaching dance technique to people who...
Contentment and Freedom
Today I feel as if I have traveled the ages, a millennia of sorts, through dragons tales and villages, through time and nature, through the cosmos. I mean, really, so much has happened in this one day, and it is still going! I have been challenged, I have celebrated, I have talked, I have listened, I have shared, I have cried, I have whooped and...
On Being Love
As I drove downtown this evening, pulling the wheel of the car around a soft curve of the highway exit ramp, I said out loud, "I am open to real love!" The next moment, I looked between two buildings to see the sun, a hot pink, misty ball, dropping below the line of monotonous grey clouds, almost heavy with the weight of it's energy and gushing...
