Last year, I went to Cuba. During my stay, I met with a Spiritual Priest who gave me a reading. He advised me on certain aspects of my life and gave me some very specific dating advice before the session was over. Yes, I said "dating advice". I have been living on that advice for over a year now. I pretty much have gauged my actions on it....
when there is fear. There is no fear when there is love.
Wow, being around family is so special and also provides me with many great opportunities to practice, practice, practice the transformational work I am living. I noticed several times today where I could have really gotten hooked on some energy around what someone was saying, how they were saying it, my own energy, my own agenda, or how I or...
I lay on the hardwood floors of my friends apartment. Propped up by yoga bolsters and atop woolen, grey blankets, I lay surrounded by a circle of wonderfully amazing women listening to the conversation. I was feeling sleepy, tired. It had been a long day, a lot of good stuff, and a full day at that. I noticed my friends black cat walking around...
Today I am practicing giving from a pure place within me. I am practicing receiving graciously what is given to me. I notice a fear come up about receiving: "I don't want to receive EVERYTHING others give me! What if I don't want what they want to give me?" Yes, this is true. I have a choice.

...and I was so happy. There is something about saying Yes to life. There is something about saying NO to things that don't work. There is something about saying No to one thing so a Yes thing can come in.

When I noticed this, I thought, "Hmmm, at times, I am basing my desire to give blessings to who I think "needs" them." It seemed biased in some way. I was somehow tied to an old story about what I thought a certain person needed based on what they...
Wow, last night I experienced a shift in dance class. I have been teaching the adult class more intentionally this session, beginning each class in a circle with self-connection exercises, breathing in and out consciously and setting intentions for how we'd like to feel walking out of the class. We begin warming up our basic Salsa steps in the...
More clarity has come about my inquiry from last night after reading a dear friend and amazing professional dancer and choreographer’s reply to the previous post "Learning how to dance". There is an inquiry about Life and how "building a solid foundation" while learning a specific style of dance relates to having the tools and wherewithal to live...
OK, this is a conundrum that has been present for me recently. I teach dance, predominantly Latin styles with some Hip-Hop and Beginner Breakdancing as well. Studying and experimenting with dance for many years, I have done both freestyle and choreography, learned great technique, learned new technique, had different people tell me to do the same...
