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 gentle person, Happy almost-September! Since my last message we have been enjoying warm weather in Cologne, and meanwhile my parents weathered Hurricane Lala in Hawai'i! They came through ok, though other areas were devastated by flooding. I've been dancing every day this month, with my own in-studio and online classes continuing as well as covering classes for colleagues taking vacation. Still had a bit more leisure time than I will soon, to explore some of the hobbies and activities...
Hello gentle person, Happy almost-August, still solidly Summer Break from school here in Germany, but back-to-school in many parts of the US. Making the most of a lighter season of work myself for reflection, dabbling in seasonal activities and hobbies. Saddened to hear of the delivery truck attack on Berlin Pride, a reminder that we must keep coming together for the cause of love and acceptance, to demonstrate and protest and take political action as well as live our fullest, freest lives....
Hello gentle person, Happy July and Quarter 3, as well as Independence Day to my fellow Americans! Cologne celebrates PRIDE/Christopher Street Day this weekend and I'm also marking 7 years of living here (according to local tradition I'm now a local), the end of the Schoolyear, and the arrival of Summer in the Northern Hemisphere, which has already been hitting hard with a days-long heatwave bringing extreme temperatures to the city. It is also Disability Pride Month! Strawberry Birthday Cake...
