Happy International Women's Day & History Month! Seasonal transformation, spring fever, time changes
|
Hello beautiful, Happy March and almost-spring in the northern hemisphere! Since my last update, crocuses, snowbells, and daffodils have popped up and the days have gotten noticeably longer, lighter, and warmer here in Cologne. And I have seemingly caught every nasty virus (flu, stomach flu, COVID) currently going around here, putting a damper on my pre-spring plans. . Taking part in Eating Disorders Awareness Week again was awesome and another of my favorite events to collaborate on each year, International Women's Day, is tomorrow in real time and the topic of my latest blog article! Women's History Month continues and I'm offering empowering Essence Coaching Conversations to give our season a transformative kick start. Read the Empower International Women's Day & Women's History Month article here Personally pumped that the Spring Equinox and Easter are right around the corner, an absolute favorite time of year, and also the bringer of "spring forward" time changes, in the case of Germany on Sunday, March 29. Keep in mind this will affect online course and session times this month (time changes in other locations in the continental US for example do vary) and gladly ask if you need clarification. And, I now have tickets to visit my folks later in April, so I am grateful to be able to make those plans. Other creations, recommendations, and questions for you are: Listening:

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...
