Gabrielle Roth was a woman referred to as the Urban Shaman. She gave birth to 5 Rhythms. Gabrielle had this to say about 5 Rhythms: ""Each rhythm is a great teacher and each has different things to teach us. For me entering into each rhythm each day is a totally different experience. I bring a totally different Gabrielle to it and I receive...

Yes, this is the beginning.  Diary of a Salsa Dancer.  How exciting, how interesting! This is about life lessons on the dance floor. Part 1 Tonight I went to a Halloween Salsa party.  I walked in to a room FULL of festively dressed men and women twirling around the dance floor.  It was packed and it was HOTTT (literally).  The heat felt good on...

I am making friends with Discomfort. I realize that I want to get away from Discomfort as fast as possible.  I want to learn that lesson, make that amend, reconcile within myself, release that stuff that is no longer mine AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!  It is because I HATE feeling uncomfortable!  It sucks! I realize there is something in here for me, so I...

Wow, I just read this woman's post on facebook about healing and growth.  It was so concise and so well said.  It was straight to the heart of the matter and really clearly understandable. I started wondering, "Wow, how can I write like that?" The comparison thing.  It is SO attractive to me, but not attractive.  It just pops up.  What is that...

This morning around 11:30am, I sat on the couch in my brother's room and looked at emails.  With Hurricane Sandy approaching, even though I am not in NYC, I felt this hold or pause on the day as if anything could happen at any time.  Impending doom?  Vacation day?  I don't know, it just felt the like the day was on hold, softly, waiting,...

The other night, I found myself doing what I usually do when I am dancing with someone who doesn't have a sense for the timing of the music or the basic step.  I try to stay on time with the music and then follow along with the leader as best I can, trying to keep time with the music and stay on the basic step. The other night I had a new thought...

I got vulnerable today twice with people whom I know, some very well and some getting to know better. The first time, I felt uncomfortable after I got vulnerable, like I had said too much.  I thought to myself, "I am going to be open with my vulnerability here."  So I shared with the group that I felt vulnerable about what I shared.  In...

When I notice someone saying they "want" something or "need" something or they "miss" me, I get curious about what they mean.  I do this for myself too and especially, right now, I am curious about what that means when I "want" something.  it is as if I am already implying that I don't have that thing. I wonder this when I want to say or I hear...

For the past decade or more I have poo-pooed my gift as a free form dancer. I have always honored my gift as a “freestyler”: someone, in my definition, who can get down street style, like hip-hop and funk styles of dancing or in Latin or W. African dance.  Someone who can just really get down without choreography. I am a great freestyle dancer....
