December engendered completion & celebration, things to enjoy in January
|
Hello beautiful, Fresh indeed, snow fell and I completed my December reflections while beginning my Annual Review process and planning adventures for 2025. In December all of my Ballet students successfully passed their Royal Academy of Dance-style examination, displaying improved technique and artistry. I’m so proud of their progress and eager to proceed to the next level(s) with my dancers! Amidst a month of festivity, I continued to create and publish, enjoy the artistic work of others, and begin the process of reflecting on the past year as a whole and dreaming and planning the next. December brought winter both symbolically, at the seasonal transition of the Winter Solstice, and in reality as temperatures were cold and days short here in Cologne.

Hello beautiful, Now that Halloween and All Saint's Day have passed, we still celebrate cherished traditions and think of our beloved dead as the Holidays approach, with the full Beaver Moon on the 5th (according to the BBC, "The second of three consecutive supermoons of 2025 will coincide with Bonfire Night on Wednesday... 5 November. It will be the largest and brightest Moon this year."), Transgender Day of Remembrance on the 20th, and American Thanksgiving on the 27th. Of particular...
Hello beautiful, Happy October, "Spooky Season," and the beginning of Quarter 4, bringing even more colorful leaves to Cologne and ballet dancing and teaching into my schedule! Though Germany celebrates their Unity Day, der Tag der Deutschen Einheit, this Friday the 3rd, I will still be dancing online and in-studio that day. There are many other holidays and remembrance observations in October, such as World Mental Health Day on the 10th, National Coming Out Day on the 11th, and Halloween on...
Hello beautiful, Happy almost Rosh Hashana to my Jewish beloveds, Autumn Equinox and season's transition to all. The people have spoken, and at least until the end of the year I am reducing to an approximately-monthly "digest" format email newsletter. Previously I've sent weekly love notes, but as teaching load increases this semester, I've decided to reshuffle priorities so that I'm able to show up with energy and presence (and hopefully prevent burnout and illness). Will be doing my best to...
